Summary
Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours’ notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.
Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump’s second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.
Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a “petty” move.
Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.

The List of Trump’s Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF
Victim? So no more funding into crime research then.
We live in the stupidest timeline. May Trump’s reign be very short.
There are so many words in that list that are either general use or widely applicable in so many fields, it’s crazy. Some fields popping off the top of my head.
- barrier: biology, as in the blood-brain barrier. Or engineering, economics,
- biases: AI, psychology
- disabilities: medicine, sociology
- diversified: finance
- excluded: just about anything
- female: electronics, engineering, as in female connectors or receptacles
- gender: biology
- historically: also just about anything
- status: just about anything, but a lot in IT and engineering
- systemic: biology, medicine
- trauma: medicine
- under represented: anything with statistics
This is just getting me depressed.
