Unfortunately its not code for Hanoi jane.

California politicians want an all-electric future powered by zero-emission vehicles, massive grid-scale batteries — and plenty of moral superiority. They want a green revolution while blocking the very materials needed to build it.
Down near the Salton Sea in Imperial County, an estimated $500 billion worth of lithium lies buried deep beneath the earth’s surface. State leaders enthusiastically christened the region “Lithium Valley,” promising it would become the Saudi Arabia of clean energy, and transform America’s battery supply chain overnight.
But talk is cheap, and nobody talks a bigger game while delivering smaller results than Gov. Gavin Newsom. In March 2023, he personally toured the site of the flagship project, known colorfully as Hell’s Kitchen. He pitched the site as a monumental triumph toward ending fossil fuel reliance. San Diego State University even constructed a brand-new $80 million STEM facility nearby to train young workers for high-paying green jobs that do not yet exist — and, if California has its way, may never exist.
Richeline Anisso Fung, 46, of Pembroke Pines, Florida, and formerly of Maryland, pleaded guilty earlier this week in U.S. District Court to making false, fictitious, or fraudulent claims while working as a full-time employee for the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS-CISA), announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
“Richeline Fung stole a quarter‑million dollars from the American taxpayer, and today she stands as a convicted felon who will be required to pay full restitution,” said U.S. Attorney Pirro. ...
Court documents say that Fung was a full-time DHS-CISA employee between September 2016 and October 2025. She lived in Maryland when she started working for DHS-CISA but moved to Florida.
Between January 2021 and August 2024, Fung served in multiple federal government contractor positions despite being a full-time U.S. government employee with DHS-CISA. She worked as a contractor for the Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Energy, Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). She served in these positions as a direct employee or as an independent contractor/consultant through her business RAF Pro-Consulting, LLC, which she incorporated in Florida in 2020.
...
In connection with her employment, Fung submitted timesheets certifying the number of hours she worked each pay period. Fung routinely overstated those hours, even claiming to work more than 24 hours in a single day on multiple occasions.
For example, in February 2022, Fung was employed by DHS-CISA and three different federal contractors performing work for USDA, FHWA, and DOJ. For that month alone, Fung’s combined hours totaled more than 24 hours in a single day on 15 occasions. Shockingly, she claimed to work 33 hours on February 7, 8, 9, and 10, and 32 hours on February 11.
Fung admitted that she concealed her employment with DHS-CISA and the federal contractors from each other. She also acknowledged that she was able to conceal her employment because she teleworked for all the positions during the relevant period.
Um, who is Robin Morgan?
I also have never heard of her. Consulting W'pedia, she was a feminist writer and activist (some good causes, e.g. battered women and rape victims, among them). Like many leftist activists, her upbringing was of relative wealth/privilege. As feminist "inside baseball" goes, she was deep in the shower rooms. I doubt that many ordinary feminist-ish women know much of her.
A district court denied a motion from three Stars and Stripes journalists that sought to block the Department of War from firing them.
While plaintiffs argue that the terminations “violate their First Amendment rights to communicate as citizens on matters of public concern,” such rights have “some limitations” when applied to people employed in public service, Judge Trevor N. McFadden, from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said in the Sept. 4 order.
“When government employees provide public commentary in their official capacity, their speech is government speech, and the First Amendment does not apply,” the judge said, adding that the plaintiffs have not demonstrated any “irreparable harm.”

On July 5, Korte and Slavin gave interviews to CBS News. The program discussed changes to Pentagon regulations governing Stars and Stripes and their impact on its independence.
Korte said that restrictions may come on her reporting. “I’m working for Stars and Stripes … not for the Pentagon, not for any administration, not for any policymaker. I’m here to cover the military community,” she said.
ICE spent months tracking down an MS-13 gang member known as “The Witch,” a convicted killer wanted in El Salvador for an execution-style murder.
Now, ICE has been forced to set him free.
U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta, a Biden appointee in California, ordered David Antonio Aviles Perez released from ICE custody after concluding that immigration authorities violated his due-process rights.
Judge Ohta ruled that ICE erred by holding him for five months without an individualized determination of whether he posed a danger to the public or was likely to flee.
A reminder that Democrats just make up the law as they go along.
