Yeah, we've been watching hours of these depositions at 404 Media, and we'll have more soon. For now, here's some context.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, a DOGE staffer assigned to the General Services Administration who, alongside another DOGE member named Justin Fox, was tasked with identifying grants for review for termination at the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). This six-part video deposition has been edited down for clarity and length and has been released by the American Historical Association, one of the of the associations alongside the Modern Language Association and the American Council of Learned Societies, filing a lawsuit over terminated grants for "schools, libraries and community organizations."

"The motion included discovery documents revealing that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used a flawed ChatGPT process to identify “DEI programs” and inform decisions to terminate grants awarded by the NEH. The motion was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York," their joint press release reads. "In the motion, the plaintiffs present three claims: violations of the First Amendment; violations of the Equal Protection Clause; and violation of the separation of powers, as DOGE carried out the termination of the grants, not the NEH Chair, and without approval from Congress."

You guys make me laugh and smile so much int he office.

Not my video

I moved to this apartment March 1st. I was assigned to a spot in the garage. When I attempted to park there the first night there was someone parked there. I emailed the office & they said they would contact the person parked there and if they didn't hear back a tow would be initiated. They followed up saying the tow was going to occur on a certain day. It didn't, so I emailed management again.

Finally on Tuesday night I checked and the spot was empty, I thought it was handled so I parked there Tuesday night and last night. Well, this is what I came down to this morning. The duct tape on that note was in a million tiny pieces and it took me 30 minutes to finish getting it off.

I am a single woman with a daughter who ran from a domestic situation. I take our safety incredibly seriously. Of course I called and emailed management right away and will file a police report, but how would you handle this? I have never had to deal with something like this in all my years of renting.

**UPDATE***

Was able to speak with management, they notified me this person's lease will be terminated immediately. They also let me pick from any other open spot (she did stress this spot was NEVER signed out to anyone else so this person is clearly unhinged for something that isn't even theirs.) and said they DO have cameras in the garage, which they will provide to police. They encouraged me to file a report which I will be doing today. I'm sure I will need some sort of protection order because I am sure I'm a target to this person now. Thanks for all of the helpful advice & encouragement!

**2nd update**

Filed the police report. They said no charges can really be pressed since there was no "real" damage to my car and no threats to my physical harm... so I contacted management again, asked if I could be notified when this person no longer has access to the building & asked if I could park in a different building until then. Sorry I can't reply to all the comments but I appreciate you all for the kind words

1. Extend the life of refrigerator compressor. Drastically.

2. Reduce electricity bill.

3. Refrigeration during power outage

4. Potable water for emergencies

5. Reusable ice packs to go - with handles!

It does take some initial energy to freeze the water, so just put it outside overnight. That’s free.

This also works for filling empty space in a refrigerator. Water is one of the best heat batteries in the known universe. If you want some cool science, check out PCMs, “Phase Change Materials.”

If you’re going to use the water as potential emergency potable, make sure everything is sanitized. And even if you don’t sanitize it, you’ll still drink it if you get thirsty enough.

I eat mostly fresh foods, so I have no use for an entire freezer. Except for blueberries. They dank AF.
