The party of “fiscal responsibility” literally wants to make massive cuts to revenue generation while increasing our spending immensely. Further, they are cutting vital services to the most vulnerable; I sure hope the Senate has some sense and eviscerates this “big beautiful” bill.

Had a fireside chat this week on AI in physical security. Some argued AI will replace operators and analysts. I disagree—AI should augment them, helping teams focus on real threats and investigations instead of chasing nuisance alarms.

I’ve attended all (but one) Blizzcon since 2008, and am excited to hopefully score tickets for 2026! Every year I’ve gone, it’s been a blast to see the games I played as a kid evolve in new and interesting ways, and enjoyed by new folks just introduced to them!

Let’s be honest, every employer would have fired Hegseth for a similar accident, and would have fired the team that allowed & executed on the decision to use Signal for classified exchanges rather than on infrastructure they owned. This team is incompetent, and can’t be trusted with data security.

Great time in Miami! My manager and I discussed how hybridized physical security—cloud+on-prem—shapes the future of enterprise. It offers scalability for agile workspaces, secures internal systems with encrypted routing, and enables unified monitoring while balancing cost & infrastructure. #security

Hey @netflix.com, idea for Love is Blind: in addition to their occupation, it should list their salary. It would give a lot more insight to us viewers, and help break the taboo of discussing income.

I’m just catching up with the interview, or whatever that was, with President Zelensky. I think that is by far one of the most embarrassing moments for America on the global stage — how have we fallen so far?

I picked up Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment last Friday, and finished it today. I highly recommend this book for those that have been fans of Blizzard games, or grew up playing their games and going to BlizzCon events; it was very enlightening

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Our economy relies on people spending money on goods and services. As mass layoffs of the federal workforce continues and federal contracts with private firms are cancelled, the velocity of money will begin to slow. As orgs tighten their budget in the face of uncertainty, so will people.

Kash Patel can't do the job of FBI Director. He's patently unqualified. Those who vote for his confirmation will be accountable for the destruction he does to the nation's top law enforcement agency and to the rule of law.

Elon Musk is trying to access your personal bank and tax data. The world’s richest man should not and cannot be able to snoop around your personal finances. Period. End of story.

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

There is no reason for DOGE to be accessing taxpayer information on all private citizens and businesses in the US.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov I hope you guys stand up for Californians on this gross overreach of executive power to sidestep & bypass checks and balances. Elon and his meddling into our agencies and its PII sets a terrible precedent for our nation while weakening our national security

Both having a United States Sovereign Fund and buying TikTok, a media company, is against both Democratic and Conservative values we hold as Americans; we are taking steps closer to an autocracy.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

If it were a Democrat pushing all of these crazy and possibly economy damaging executive orders & policies, you can bet that both sides would be crying bloody murder. It’s pretty sad that we are hearing crickets from folks in Congress that are supposed to be representing us.
