Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• United States: DoW Approves $230 Million in Grants Under the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (thestkittsnevisobserver.com) — Twentynine Palms is set to receive an $8.54 million federal grant to build new transportation access serving the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, part of a nationwide $230 million defense infrastructure package. This project should improve how people and goods move around the base area, with construction starting once environmental reviews are complete.
• Community remembers Marine who died at Twentynine Palms (nbcpalmsprings.com) — Residents connected to the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms are mourning Lance Cpl. Riley Allstat, who died in December in what his family calls an accidental weapons discharge on base. As NCIS investigates, friends are rallying around his pregnant widow with a fundraiser and plans for his burial in Indiana next month.
• FLRA ruling puts ball back in courts' court on Trump's union EOs (govexec.com) — A new federal labor ruling involving the Marine Corps facility in Twentynine Palms is being used by a major federal employee union to challenge Trump-era executive orders on collective bargaining rights. While the case itself is technical, it highlights how decisions tied to the local base can influence national labor policy and how federal workers there are represented.
