WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a promised executive action that will pay Transportation Security Administration employees after a bid to end the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security abruptly fell apart in Congress. Trump signed the action with an eye toward easing long security lines at many of the nation’s top airports. “America’s air travel system has reached its breaking point,” Trump said in the memo authorizing the payments.

Contrary to the Trump administration’s callous public relations campaign early in the onslaught against Iran, war is not a movie or a video game. Starting a war is a decision to kill real people, destroy property, and divert limited resources from other priorities.

Strategy simply means a plan by which military power will produce the desired political result. The war…

In a March 5 memo titled “Continuing Rebalancing and Optimizing the Civilian Workforce,” David Fitzgerald, deputy undersecretary of the Army, directed commands to match “surplus” civilian employees with vacant roles across the force in order to “minimize involuntary separations.” Surplus employees are those not assigned to an authorized position in the Army’s fiscal 2027 structure.…
