Former Ambassador Caroline Kennedy sent a litter to Senators about her cousin Bobby. If they care to listen there is no way they could ever even dream of putting him in charge of anything: He is a sociopath: “he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks. It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.” Sadly, I won’t be surprised if that actually cinches it for him. Republicans will love him all the more.

When you elect a criminal, you should expect him to commit crimes It’s not a kitchen table issue so … For over a week now, Donald Trump and the Justice Department have been flouting the law meant to shut down TikTok. The legislation was unambiguous and was passed by large, bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress; it was affirmed by a unanimous Supreme Court less than two weeks ago. And for the most part, both Republicans and Democrats have sat quietly by as Trump has waved away their previously stated concerns, as well as the constitutional powers and institutional prerogatives of Capitol Hill. He has also broken the law pertaining to the process for firing Inspector Generals and is ignoring the Impoundment Act by shutting down funding of programs he doesn’t like. He’s discriminating against all kinds of people. But that’s what you get when you allow a criminal to become the most powerful man on earth and imbue him with immunity for virtually any crime he commits.

It’s happening: There was some question as to whether student loans would be allowed to continue and from what I can see at the moment that, like everything else in the federal government,that decision is being decided by some flunky political appointee but nobody knows if it’s going to work or not. This situation is developing rapidly so who knows whether this will last past the day. If you look at the memo that went out suggesting that it’s being done because of “Marxist” policies, transgenderism and the green new deal, it’s pretty clear that the memo was written by a moron. So who knows?
As we look ahead to what will come in 2025, it's a perfect time to reflect on the remarkable journey our Drupal community has undertaken over the past year. Traditionally, we've gathered at two major annual events—DrupalCon North America and DrupalCon Europe. However, the past year was a year of expansion and innovation, marked by three dynamic DrupalCons in Portland, Barcelona, and Singapore, each contributing uniquely to our project's evolution.
Embracing Innovation in Portland
In May 2024, DrupalCon Portland brought together a diverse group of developers, designers, and strategists. The conference featured a comprehensive schedule, including sessions on community health, development and coding, and user experience. A highlight was the Driesnote, where Dries Buytaert, our founder, provided insights into the future of Drupal. The event also emphasized contribution, with dedicated spaces for general contribution and Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, fostering collaboration and community engagement.
