This week, a Senate Democrat report took aim at OPM’s Deferred Resignation Program a voluntary retirement program that provided government employees with eight months of paid leave. Their argument?

@skupor @USAJOBS The Restore Merit to Government Service Act of 2025 finally forces D.C. to prioritize skill over ideology. Section 4(b) mandates technical assessments and an 80-day hiring window—no more endless delays while bureaucrats filter candidates through DEI checklists.

The new updates @USAJobs has made to federal job announcements help ensure every applicant understands both the ideals that unite federal service and the merit-based principles that guide our hiring.

1. Today the Federal Circuit rejected Teva’s bid to list device patents for inhalers in the Orange Book. Practically this means that drug makers can’t list patents for things like inhaler caps to block generic rivals from the market & keep prices high. A big win for Americans. https://t.co/sEYPwmVrfs — Lina Khan (@linamkhan) Dec 20, …

@linamkhan All true… I would just add: a HUGE win for the big clients of Morgan Stanley & Goldman who got access to a ridiculously underpriced IPO. They’re taking home a huge chunk of the value. One could argue more should have gone to the founders and employees who actually built Figma. — Dino Beslic …

2/ In 2022, Poland ordered 180 tanks and 219 howitzers from South Korea. Delivery started in four months. That’s unheard of in the defense world—and a warning shot to Western arms makers buried in red tape. Seoul is now setting the pace. https://t.co/fft14GI5Zw — Rod D.

A great reminder that letting startups grow into independently successful businesses, rather than be bought up by existing giants, can generate enormous value. A win for employees, investors, innovation, and the public. https://t.co/LT3Si7YjrG — Lina Khan (@linamkhan) Aug 1, 2025 from http://twitter.com/linamkhan via IFTTT

9/ This has been the point of Trump’s defense diplomacy all along. Not to abandon allies or commitments, but to demand they become real partners not dependents. It’s long overdue. Five other post-Cold War Presidents should have done it. Trump actually is. https://t.co/3IGUrEen77 — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug 1, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

8/ In short, South Korea is making it possible to grow alliance-wide defense much faster. U.S. arms are still essential. But Seoul can help pick up the slack and turn decades of ramp-up into just a few years. They may even help build ships for the U.S. Navy! https://t.co/Vc6LyOhVWQ — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug …

7/ South Korea imports 98% of its fossil fuels. Thanks to Trump’s trade deal, they’ll now buy a lot of that from us. By embedding its chips, software, and gear into allied militaries, it creates mutual dependence—and ensures its place in global supply chains. https://t.co/Z3DX5zyhdy — Rod D.

6/ From Northern Europe to the Gulf, countries are fielding Korean platforms—locking in decades of parts, upgrades, and servicing contracts. And it’s picking up the slack for US-NATO arms makers when we’re trying to grow alliance defenses by 2.5x. https://t.co/ybYbT6quii — Rod D.

5/ Seoul’s genius? It’s building autonomy without alienating allies. The U.S. Army just hired Hanwha Aerospace (Korea) to service its Chinooks. NATO just launched a joint testing & coproduction group with Seoul. This isn’t a break from the West. It’s a force multiplier. https://t.co/b1uEMVIyn1 — Rod D.

4/ This isn’t just about business. It’s about survival. South Korea spent centuries as a vassal of China, then a colony of Japan. Today, it’s threatened by North Korea and sits on the front lines of a future U.S.–China war. It must be self-reliant—and it’s making sure it is. https://t.co/F9zRGyoQoL — Rod D.

🚨 Is South Korea about to become the next global arms superpower? They’ve already surpassed the U.S. in tank sales to Europe. And they’re doing it faster, cheaper, and with fewer strings attached.
