♦️State Department changes
Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined plans to drastically reorganize the department,
saying it was “beholden to radical political ideology.”
The overhaul at the nation’s diplomatic agency will include the 💥#elimination of the office of the under secretary for civilian security, democracy and human rights.

♦️ Pentagon chaos:
In three months, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is #unmatched in the recent history of the Defense Department.
Three members of his inner circle have been accused of leaking to the news media,
and his former spokesman accused the defense secretary of incompetence.
Mr. Hegseth defended his performance on Tuesday, saying his critics were incensed over the rapid changes he has made.

♦️ Deportation fight:
The Trump administration continued to #stonewall a federal judge’s demand for information about its efforts to secure the release of a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador.
Justice Department lawyers revealed little in court papers filed Tuesday
and lawyers for the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, asked the judge for a hearing on the “government’s failure to comply with this court’s orders.”

The New York Times · Trump Administration Live Updates: Latest News on Hegseth, Rubio and MoreBy The New York Times

Here are the #BoardGames that I played in January, graphic courtesy of the #BGStats app!

Lots of #ForestShuffle and #Harmonies with my partner, and we got a few plays of #Unmatched with the new Witcher sets as well.

A highlight though was a return to #Hoplomachus Victorum, motivated by the new Pandora expansions. Turns out I’d left a campaign half finished, so I’m working through that before touching the new stuff.

Big shout outs to Tapestry, A Nice Cuppa, and Salton Sea too!

LOL dating is so exhausting 🤣

This dude on Tinder was asking me about my hobbies to which I replied I was taking time to learn a new language and also app development.

He asked which language and I replied “Finnish.”

He then proceeded to tell me how I’m wasting my time on a language that’s too hard to learn with little return value because hardly anyone knows it. I should learn Spanish or French.

(I’m fluent in Spanish 😂)

But I’m also learning Finnish for ME, not anyone else. 🙄 #Unmatched
