RFK Jr. says 20% of health agency layoffs could be mistakes
Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acknowledged that up to 20% of the 10,000 layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services may have been mistakes and will require reinstatements.
The cuts, part of a DOGE-led restructuring with Elon Musk, eliminated key programs, including the CDC’s Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch, stalling public health responses.
FDA officials confirmed some staff have already been asked to return temporarily, including teams handling drug and food inspections.

Churches would get protections from IRS punishment under new bill
Summary:
Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate have introduced legislation that would amend a decades-old provision within the Internal Revenue Service regarding churches, pastors and nonprofits.
North Carolina Representative Mark Harris and Oklahoma Senator James Lankford introduced the bicameral Free Speech Fairness Act Monday. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas co-sponsored the legislation in the Senate, and 16 Republicans co-sponsored it in the House.
"Now that we have a Republican trifecta, [in the House, Senate and White House], [the bill sponsors are] hoping to have momentum behind it," a Harris spokesperson told Newsweek.
Newsweek reached out to the IRS and Lankford's and Cruz's offices for comment.
Why It Matters
The bill would remove the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 tax code provision.
Named after President Lyndon B. Johnson, the amendment prohibits all 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations—like churches, where contributions are tax-deductible—from supporting or opposing candidates in political campaigns. It was enacted to prevent tax-deductible money from being used in the process. Such organizations can still participate in electoral processes.
During his first term in 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order, Promoting Free Speech and Liberty, to ease restrictions on religious organizations and nonprofits and provide more protections.
Despite Trump's claims that he "got rid" of the Johnson Amendment, it remains in place and can only be changed by Congress or the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ubuntu Touch Q&A 161
Marius announced that VoLTE is now working satisfactorily for both Mediatek and Qualcomm. The modifications are already in the image for both Focal and Noble. With that said in order to use them the porter for each device must do the work on that and for Qualcomm the only device we have at the moment is the Fairphone 5. On the Mediatek side, Volla from 22 up are functional. Marius and Alfred have been running it as a daily driver for awhile and have found no major problems.This is not just voice it is also SMS over VoLTE. AppLee reported some issues with MMS but Marius was surprised that MMS would work at all because it is a different type of protocol. Alfred attempted to test that out live but like most live attempts it didn’t work. Alfred also placed a call though and that did work.
In yet more big news, Marius has now succeeded in getting an eSIM to work. At the moment it functions only in command line but he is working on a UI for it. The fix used the Lpac library. A big shout out to the developers of that because it contains resources which we have used for lots of different things.
Marius confirmed to a questioner that both VoLTE and eSIM will have entries in Settings.
Halium 12 devices upgrade
Alagiralagir had a couple of questions. The first was to ask why all devices can’t be upgraded to Halium 12 so that they can take advantage of VoLTE? Alfred is the porter of the Pixel 3a but he expressed his view that the device has outlived its usefulness. It runs on Halium 9. It is not worth the effort of taking it further and there is not even a guarantee that Halium 12 would unlock VoLTE. There are times when the only way forward is to get a more modern phone and this is one of those times.
The Pixel 3a is not supported in Austria anymore, even if it is running the original Android. Time to let it go.
If we are going to make more use of Mastodon and Matrix we need volunteers to take care of that.

Macron suggests pause on US investment as EU leaders condemn Trump tariffs
European leaders have condemned Donald Trump’s tariffs as “fundamentally wrong” and creating an “immense difficulty for Europe”, while appealing for last-ditch negotiations to avert an all-out trade war.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said Trump’s decision to impose tariffs was “brutal and unfounded” and appeared to call for a suspension of French investment in the US until the tariffs were clarified.
“Future investments, investments announced in the last weeks, should be suspended for a time for as long as the situation with the United States is not clarified,” Macron told a meeting of French companies.

Is that actually a tolerable opinion in the sense of "paradox of tolerance"? Or is it hate speech that leads to intolerance?
Like "deport all jews from greater palestine" would mean ethnic cleansing which would not be tolerable. The only logical solution seems to be a 1 state solution that would need decades of investment, reeducation, de-nazification and de-radicalization on both sides.
Or said differently, "Palestine doesn't have a right to exist" is not tolerable right?
Historic arguments that wold have been valid 70 years ago are now not useful since the reality is like it is. Something like "USA doesn't have a right to exist, Europeans go home!" doesn't make sense either except in the hypothetical where it would .
'The Russians occupying Crimea cannot be deported that would be ethnic cleansing'. No it would not. There were Nazis occupying Polish houses and they were kicked out after WW2 and sent back where they came from.
'Deport all Jews from Palestine' would be ethnic cleansing as many Jews lived in Palestine before Zionism.
Palestinians have the full right to all their land back. If a European colonist is currently occupying it that is not their problem. The fact that their parents stole it in an ethnic cleansing does not change this in the slightest. Nor does them being Jewish mean that they suddenly get a special antisemitism exception to do colonialism and steal people's houses.

'We're all dead': GOP senator reacts to Trump tariffs
Summary
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) warned of uncertainty over Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, saying, “In the long run, we’re all dead,” and slammed blind loyalty to the policy.
While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers—unlike four GOP senators—he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.
Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, falsely claiming foreign nations will bear the cost.
Kennedy told Newsmax that predictions on the tariffs’ effects are unreliable, adding anyone claiming certainty is “lying” or “selling deep stupid.”
