Sounds like there's no details and it's a refutation of the entire concept.

The initiative has immediately drawn objections from European officials, who insist that the continent’s security arrangements are already established and cannot be renegotiated over their heads.

    The campaign platforms of winning (or leading) candidates in red and purple states demonstrate a clear pattern: concrete economic issues of working and rural people were central.

    In Kansas, Adam Hamilton’s “prairie populism” railed against the crushing costs of farming inputs, something Iowa’s Josh Turek also stressed. In Mississippi, Scott Colom emphasized the loss of labor and delivery departments in rural communities. Texas’s Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico both spoke out for rural schools against defunding and voucher programs. Keisha Lance Bottoms spoke openly about the rural-urban divide and her own roots in the Georgia countryside.

    In South Carolina, Annie Andrews focused on kitchen table economics, rural healthcare and farmland preservation.

    In the grand scheme of things, not that much. It's just a building really, just with extra security. I'm not opposed to a conference room but it had to be done as the people's house through Congress. But I think the whole notion is poisoned for a good while.

    BASE is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennas (referring to radio masts), spans (bridges) and earth (cliffs).[1][2] Participants jump from a fixed object such as a cliff and, after an optional freefall delay, deploy a parachute to slow their descent and land. A popular form of BASE jumping is wingsuit BASE jumping.

    Thinking about Starcraft Dominion, it will likely be released on PS and Xbox too to get to the largest market. I'm wondering if Sony can/will force them to release on PS6 only and not the PS5? PS6 will probably be expensive (ramageddon) and not sell well, and Blizzard will simply want the largest audience. In the past you kinda needed one console generation or the other* but given the whole situation of both gaming and hardware costs, I see uhh console generations and game settings all blending together to put it that way. (*I'm aware many games released on two generations or downscaled for nintendo. It's often said but I think we're at a turning point of what we need. How big is the market for 4k? etc.)

     

    Not exactly exploratory, but it show's a bit

    The Supreme Court ruled on October 3, 2025, allowing the administration to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked the TPS termination. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who received protection under former President Joe Biden.

    U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco had ruled last year that the DHS "acted with unprecedented haste" to terminate Venezuelan migrants' TPS status, finding that DHS made "decisions first and searched for a valid basis for those decisions second."

    Appears that Noem ended TPS for Venezuelans last year Jan 2025.
