Tonight, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Representative Deb Haaland (D-NM) as Secretary of
the Interior Department. An impressive woman in her own right, Haaland
embodies the determination of the new administration to use the
government for the good of all Americans, rather than for special
interests. This makes her a threat to business-as-usual on issues of
both race and the economy. Her confirmation vote was 50-41; only four
Republicans voted in favor of her appointment.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA One hundred seven years ago today, the citizens of one of the nation s first planned communities incorporated their city. What began as a lima bean field and later an oil well-drilling site had been transformed into a town full of parks and wide curving streets, designed with affordability and tranquility in mind, named Beverly Hills after bucolic Beverly Farms, Massachusetts.
A few years later, the arrival of the world s first film stars turned Beverly Hills into an international symbol of luxury and glamor, a reputation it maintains to this day.

By the end of her life, Elizebeth Smith Friedman was renowned for her work deciphering codes from civilian criminals. She cracked the codes that sent members of what one prosecutor called “the most powerful international smuggling syndicate in existence”
[1] to jail, took down a Vancouver opium ring, and caught a World War II Japanese spy.
But Friedman, who spent much of her working career in Washington, had every bit as exciting and strange a journey to get there.
