US postmaster general resigns with immediate effect

PG DeJoy resigns

The US postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, who said earlier this month that he had asked the government efficiency team led by Elon Musk for assistance with a number of issues, is resigning effective on Monday, the agency said.

DeJoy, who has headed the agency since 2020, in February said he had asked the US Postal Service (USPS) governing board to identify his successor but had given no indication in recent days that he planned to step down abruptly.

Donald Trump said in February that he was considering merging the United States Postal Service with the commerce department, a move Democrats said would violate federal law.

“Much work remains that is necessary to sustain our positive trajectory,” DeJoy said in a statement, adding that the deputy postmaster general, Doug Tulino, would head the agency until the postal board names a permanent successor. They have hired a search firm, he added.

Supreme Court declines Steve Wynn’s bid to loosen libel standard

Steve WynnThe Supreme Court on Monday turned away casino mogul Steve Wynn’s bid for the court to consider overturning its 61-year-old precedent that has protected journalists from libel lawsuits.

Wynn urged the justices to use his lawsuit against The Associated Press to revisit the 1964 landmark decision, New York Times v. Sullivan, which requires a showing of “actual malice” for public figures to hold newspapers and journalists liable for defamation, a high legal bar.

President Trump has long called for reducing libel protections for the press, and conservative Justice Clarence Thomas has said multiple times the precedent should be overruled.

'Full-Blown Meltdown': Trump Flips Out Over A Not-Very-Flattering Official Portrait

Trump portraitPresident Donald Trump spent part of his Sunday railing against a portrait of himself that’s been hanging in the Colorado Capitol for nearly six years.

“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” he griped on his Truth Social website.

Trump said a portrait of President Barack Obama created by the same artist, Sarah Boardman, “looks wonderful.”

But the president slammed the image of himself as “truly the worst.”

Update: After 6 years, Colorado officials today removed the portrait that upset the narcissist in the White House.  What weak-kneed people.

Federal Judge Says Texas A&M Can Host Drag Show

Texas A&M

A federal judge has stopped Texas A&M’s board from banning drag shows on campus.

Lee H. Rosenthal, who was appointed as a federal judge by former President George H. W. Bush, wrote a Memorandum and Opinion on Monday that any student who finds the “Draggieland” performance “offensive has a simple remedy: don’t go.”

“The Board, and some members of the A&M community, are offended by the Draggieland performance,” Rosenthal wrote. “To ban the performance from taking place on campus because it offends some members of the campus community is precisely what the First Amendment prohibits.”

Messages with Yemen war plans inadvertently shared with reporter appears 'authentic': Official

GoldbergThe White House said Monday a Signal group chat discussing a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, "appears to be authentic."

Members of the Trump administration coordinated highly sensitive war plans on the unsecure group chat, Goldberg wrote in a report for the publication on Monday.

White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes shared with ABC News the statement he provided to The Atlantic confirming the veracity of a Signal group chat, which Goldberg said appeared to include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others.

"At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain. The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to our servicemembers or our national security," Hughes said in the statement.

TVNL Comment:  Hughes' comment is idiotic. Everything is OK as long as the operation went ahead successfully.  The horror of this breach of security apparently escapes him.
