Residents of Deir el-Balah are eager for tangible solutions rather than political slogans as they prepare for the first municipal elections in over two decades. The scars of Israel's war are evident, and the community seeks effective governance to address their pressing needs.

OMB is not giving access to anything to agencies, according to a spokesperson, despite the administration's interest in the powerful Mythos AI model that identifies digital vulnerabilities.

For me, morality is greater than office, and there is no greater power than public trust. The Gen Z movement that is rising in the country today demanding good governance, transparency and accountability has also given the same message.

Naledi Pandor emphasizes that the Global South has the potential to unite and provide a counterbalance to the US, which currently holds significant power in the international order. She believes that solidarity among nations in the Global South is crucial for achieving this goal.

I ran because I thought the city was not listening to people. It's really the way the deal was handled that led to this kind of uprising.

"I don't fully understand the reasons that I'm in the position I am in, but that is for a separate process for me to try to get to the bottom of."

In the early 20th century, sociologist Max Weber noted that sweeping industrialization would transform how societies worked. As small, informal operations gave way to large, complex organizations with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, leaders would need to rely less on tradition and charisma, and more on organization and rationality. He also foresaw that jobs would need to be broken down into specialized tasks and governed by a system of hierarchy,

Dear Transparency-Committed Reader, You're not alone. So many of us want decision-making to reflect our collective values (like transparency, care, and shared power), but it's hard to actually put those values into practice.

I am happy to share, though, that decision-making doesn't have to be a nightmare.

The accounting watchdog said that, although there had been no new financial issues, it "disclaimed" the college's latest 2024-25 accounts because of the continuing "fallout" from financial reporting problems that resulted from a problematic IT project. "We were not able to provide a complete opinion on the opening position or in-year transactions for 2024-25, both of which are heavily derived from the closing position of the prior year," it added.

Last week- after the Wall Street Journal broke more news about the Trump family's dodgy crypto-business dealings and before the President shared a racist video of the Obamas depicted as dancing apes-the Amazon entrepreneur Jeff Bezos decided that one of his smaller properties, the Washington Post, has proved such a drag on his two-hundred-and-thirty-billion-dollar fortune that prudence required that he obliterate much of its newsroom.

In this new season, I'm asking how the Trump White House is rewriting the rules of U.S. politics, and talking to Americans whose lives have been changed as a result. Today's episode examines the destruction of the civil service: the removal of professionals, and their replacement with loyalists. I've seen this kind of transformation before, in other failing democracies. Everyone suffers from the degradation of public services.

Since Richard Nixon was forced to resign, powerful people in both political parties have worked assiduously to ensure that their leaders would escape the consequences of their actions. Trump has evaded punishment for crimes both low (campaign-finance violations, for which he was convicted, though he will serve no time thanks to his 2024 victory) and high (his attempted overthrow of the federal government in the aftermath of his 2020 election loss, for which he was spared by the Supreme Court's decision to grant him a kingly immunity).
