Hundreds of datasets and websites that contradict government’s ideology have been altered or wiped – a tactic taken straight from Heritage Foundation’s policy blueprint

Even amid Donald Trump’s failures – the Iran war, soaring prices and a sharp rebuke in the midterm elections last week – there’s still at least one area his administration continues to carry out adeptly: its mass public information censorship campaign.

In less than two years, the Trump administration has done staggering damage to US data and information infrastructure. Hundreds of federal datasets have been terminated or altered, and thousands of government webpages that address diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the climate crisis and other issues have been quietly revised or completely wiped.

This under-the-radar censorship isn’t random – it’s been squarely aimed at any information that contradicts the administration’s ideology.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will not fundamentally change its response to measles outbreaks even if the US loses its measles elimination status this month, CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz told Reuters on Tuesday.

Global health ​experts convened by the Pan American Health Organization will determine in the coming days whether the US has ‌lost its official measles-free status, a hard-won public health achievement it has held since 2000.

Many disease experts say that is likely to be the case as the country battles the highest number of infections in more than three decades. Thousands of Americans have contracted measles since early 2025, when the Trump administration took ​office.

Bessent, driving force behind US push to cripple Iran’s economy, relocates over alleged threat to his life

The US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, has relocated from his home in the Washington area to a military base after an Iranian threat against his life, the New York Times has reported.

Bessent has spearheaded a US push to cripple Iran’s economy since the start of the Middle East war, vowing “economic asphyxiation” of the Islamic republic through a web of sanctions.

He is one of a number of senior figures in the Trump administration including the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, to leave their home to live on a military base or protected housing.

Extramarital affairs are usually private matters. Jensen Huang’s has global implications.

The 63-year-old is the leading face of the artificial intelligence revolution with his black leather jackets and fluff of grey hair. He runs the company Nvidia, which produces highly coveted computer chips. That’s landed him on a late-night-phone-call basis with President Donald Trump, a promoter of the industry.

But Huang was also liaising with a Chinese businesswoman who has allegedly fed intelligence — as well as advanced chips — to China. The woman, Alice Huang, is a former executive at the Singapore-based cloud computing company Megaspeed.

I never thought Id be excited for a garbage can, but after going through multiple plastic cans and having the lid mechanism fail on cheaper metal cans, I broke down and got a more expensive one from Simple Human. I feel the quality everytime I use the step to toss something. It sounds so dumb, but I'm really blown away after years of crappy cans.

Aside from that, my python water changer for aquariums. That thing has been the goat for years at this point.

I had enough time to properly clean up two of the three cast iron skillets. I was able to identify that the 8 inch skillet was a wagner ware skillet. When I was seasoning the bottom of the pan a tiny little W and some other characters of the logo started to appear.

As for the griddle it cleaned up alright however the logo is practically rusted off and I can't really identify it. There's a lot of pitting rust on the cooking surface and I have been having trouble getting it take seasoning, I think I might have polished it to much that there is no ridges for it to stick to. The only areas that seem to be taking the seasoning are the rust pits. I will keep trying.

I suspect the logo was here

Size or model number?

Pits on the cooking surface.

As for the 8 inch skillet it cooks good. I seasoned it 3 times and it's doing just fine. Here's a photo of the logo coming through.

Oh and for the lead testing they all tested negative. I will update this post when I get the other one in good working order.

It says that the NixOS wiki article is out of date and has bad practices.

Republicans on the US Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday began a push to consider and advance as many of Donald Trump's remaining judicial nominees as possible before Democrats take control of the chamber in January.

Senator Chuck Grassley, the committee's outgoing Republican chairman, dismissed Democratic complaints that Republicans were bypassing longstanding committee practices to ‌speed nominees toward confirmation, saying, "I know what's coming."

"I want to be very clear: Some Democrats so despise President Trump that for the first time in our nation’s history they’re planning to stonewall a president’s ability to appoint judges," Grassley said.

The museum launched a campaign this summer to track down nearly 400 works looted during World War II. It created “Wanted” posters with images of lost art, plastering them in and around the city of Orléans and flooding the internet. Now, the first case has been solved.

An amateur sleuth in France discovered one of the looted paintings last month in Switzerland, as it was set for sale. Now instead of being put up for auction, “The Drinker,” a 17th-century work by the Dutch artist Willem Cornelisz Duyster, will soon be returned to Orléans.
