Japan wins 2-year “war on floppy disks,” kills regulations requiring old tech
But what about fax machines?
Per a Reuters report on Wednesday, Japan’s government “eliminated the use of floppy disks in all its systems.” The report notes that by mid-June, Japan’s Digital Agency (a body set up during the COVID-19 pandemic and aimed at updating government technology) had “scrapped all 1,034 regulations governing their use, except for one environmental stricture related to vehicle recycling.” That suggests that there’s up to one government use that could still turn to floppy disks, though more details weren’t available.
A Bugatti car, a first lady and the fake stories aimed at Americans

A New Documentary Goes Behind the Scenes of Christian Nationalism
“Bad Faith” traces the origins of January 6 back to the Moral Majority of the 1980s.
The new documentary Bad Faith, directed by Stephen Ujlaki and Christopher Jacob Jones, begins with footage familiar to many Americans: an army of insurrectionists adorned in stars, stripes, and military gear storming the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election results. It was a watershed moment that left many Americans wondering how we got here. Bad Faith seeks to help answer that question by looking at a crucial reason why American democracy ended up at a precipice: the rise of Christian nationalism. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/bad-faith-christian-nationalism-documentary/
Some ex-DOJ officials who worked for Trump fear the Supreme Court just made it easy for him to use the DOJ to attack foes “It sets him up to do the things he has said, to investigate people and send them to jail,” said one ex-official.

How teens are getting into biotech without a college degree
THIS IS WHAT ACCOUNTABILITY LOOKS LIKE!
Demanding @SenTonyWilliams reject money from Pennsylvania’s richest man Jeff Yass & his billionaire agenda that harms public school children via a voucher scam versus fully funding public schools. #SayNoToYass #NoVouchers
The Department of education is going to bankrupt Public School Education where Teachers have to be certified, Student testing is required, all pupils have to be accepted, IEPs are delivered for every special student, Sports, Music, and the Arts are part of the curriculum, and btw there are no High Quality Charter schools in existence, they do not need to supply anything public schools do.
Explanations needed: if there’s not enough money to fulfill constitutional requirement, how is there money to start new voucher program, expand tax credit scholarships & enact historic tax cut?
Whose priorities are shaping this discussion?
PA voters need to know. #ShowTheNumbers
IN THE NEWS: Jay Z’s Roc Nation in support of PA private school voucher program which has been proven to be detrimental to the educational well-being of underserved youth in the state. Vouchers put public money into the pockets of the rich and drain resources from those in need.

11 million students had completed the 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid 11 million students are taking their futures in their own hands & applying for the federal aid that they need to go to college.
To minimize disruptions and increase the likelihood of a smooth experience for borrowers and institutions, the 2025-26 form will remain consistent with the 2024-25 form. FSA has made significant progress to address and resolve all major known issues with the 2024-25 form and will continue to make improvements to the form to enable a better user experience.
Moreover, the Department will continue to work with partners and solicit specific feedback on ways to improve the help text on the form, borrower tip sheets, and other direct communication to borrowers on successfully completing the 2025-26 FAFSA form. The agency will conduct a series of listening sessions over the coming weeks and publish a Request for Information (RFI). These sessions and the RFI will support the development of a new Better FAFSA, Better Future Roadmap, to be released in late summer (FSA Electronic Announcement).
