The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built the Rx Inspector tool to show you.

Now a proposed bill would also require manufacturing location information on packaging for both generic and brand-name drugs.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle.

But this time, it has unusually specific criteria: It “particularly welcomes” projects that align with President Donald Trump’s vision for America.

Who'd ever thought that #employees of a #government #agency "managed" by #sycophants, #psychopaths,, #nazis, and #losers wouldn't be paid or receive health insurance?

Also, it's hilariously pathetic that #ICE agents are airing their grievances on #Reddit....of all places.

Comic with title "Government's fight against encryption".
First picture: Nerdy-looking man with beard holds baloon. Other man has a needle and says: "I want a small hole in this so I could use it if I would need to." Man with beard replies: "But it's impossible! Or you would destroy everything..."
Second picture: Closer view, head, shoulders and arm of bearded man with ballon. Only hands of man with needle are visible, needle is close to ballon. Man with needle says: "I said only small hole. Nobody else would know about this." Bearded man replies: "It doesn't work... THIS WAY!". His last two words are on third picture, with close view of ballon and hand touching its surface with needle.
On last, fourth picture there is orange-yellow explosion with big text "BOOM!". — Comic with title "Government's fight against encryption". First picture: Nerdy-looking man with beard holds baloon.

I wrote once a blog about #GitLab, #GitHub, and #Forgejo ( #codeberg). What to choose?

It is in Dutch, but I'm pretty sure your browser can translate it for you:

https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2025/11/11/git-forge-overheid

It is a recommendation for a #GitForge for the Dutch #government.

Part of the conclusion:
In summary, from the point of view of digital sovereignty and digital autonomy is a self-hosted Forgejo the best choice for the government.

If the #government gave a crap about any of us the #databroker industry simply wouldn't exist.

It should be illegal to harvest people's data and even worse to sell it. It's called #stalking when we do it.

They are vultures and pick over the corpse of every #databreach
