At least one student has tested positive for lead poisoning after exposure at Golda Meir School Lower Campus. Lead hazards were widespread in the building, found on the ground in the boy's bathroom, cafeteria, a hallway, the teacher's lounge, kitchen areas and multiple rooms. Three other students at Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies, Maryland Avenue Montessori and Albert E. Kagel Dual Language School may have been lead-poisoned due to lead hazards from chipping lead-based paint and lead dust. Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies became the first MPS building to close due to its high lead levels, followed by Starms Early Childhood Center, Fernwood Montessori, and Lafollette School. read more


Another federal judge has blocked enforcement of Trumpf's order banning transgender people from serving in the military, the second nationwide injunction against the policy in as many weeks. The order from US District Judge Benjamin Settle in Tacoma came in a case brought by several long-serving transgender military members who say the ban is insulting and discriminatory, and that their firing would cause lasting damage to their careers and reputations. "The government's unrelenting reliance on deference to military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting the military's' new judgment reflected in the Military Ban." Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram was the highest ranking transgender officer in the Department of Defense in 2021 (pictured below). read more

China has developed a compact deep-sea device capable of cutting armored undersea cables at depths of 4,000 meters -- twice the operational depth of existing subsea communication infrastructure. The tool, featuring a 150-mm diamond-coated grinding wheel spinning at 1,600 rpm, was designed for integration with China's advanced submersibles. The development has raised concerns over the security of global undersea infrastructure, as such cables carry 95% of global data transmission and support critical military and civilian operations. Beijing has already cut cables to Taiwan and is constructing large 'D-Day' type amphibious landing craft. read more


AFRICOM informs: "In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, US Africa Command (AFRICOM) conducted multiple airstrikes against ISIS-Somalia on 25 Mar 2025. The airstrikes occurred in the vicinity of the Golis Mountains, Somalia. AFRICOM's initial assessment is that multiple ISIS-Somalia operatives were killed and no civilians were harmed. ISIS-Somalia has proved both its will and capability to attack US and partner forces. This group's malicious efforts threaten US security interests. USAFRICOM, alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, continues to take action to degrade ISIS-Somalia's ability to plan and conduct attacks that threaten the US homeland, our forces, and our civilians abroad. Specific details about the operation will not be released to ensure continued operations security." read more
