Unbelievable - but what can we expect from a regime of fools and churls?

Good article about the DOGE data theft / ongoing espionage with Federal data. Unless Congress does its job, no vestige of privacy protections will remain.

Good article that brings home the impacts of #Trumpovich ‘s shoot-the-entire-country-in-the-foot move.

People are starting to realize what’s happening. Now - will Congress act to regulate this illegal activity, or will the #GQP simply acquiesce because it’s easier than confronting the #OrangeFelon and the #Muskovites?

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

This is typical and expected behavior from #Trumpovich and his minions. Anyone who does not defer to #Trumpovich must be in opposition to him; he does not respect that the law does not give him absolute power.

Good article about #Trumpovich ‘s strong-arming and protection racket against higher education. We had the Red Scare in the 50s; this is the #BrownScare that attempts to subjugate anyone not white (DEI removals, free speech not-approved-by-Trump, health care).

It appears that the FCC’s chair has confused NBC and Fox. I hope Comcast / NBC fight this with the facts from the courts.

It’s not a stretch to expect Palentir to work with the illegally-taken data the #Muskovites have stolen from Government Departments and Agencies. This will be an industry in and of itself.

It’s not enough to sign a letter. It’s going to take a very visible, very noisy lawsuit to get any action, and the result - assuming sane minds in courts order removal of unsanctioned AI agents - will have to be enforced by removal of DOGE personnel from Departments.

Well said, Senator. Can you get the press to say that, too?

It would be very illuminating - and useful - for the Administration to reveal the evidence behind their outlandish claims about illegal aliens, crimes committed, etc. And I don’t consider Faux News to be a credible source for debate of the subjects.

1/Of course there was a breach, and this will be treated as a political football rather than the espionage case it is. Untrained, unvetted, unsupervised personnel accessing ANY enterprise system(s) constitutes a breach. What matters, though, is the nature of the data stolen from NLRB.

It seems to me that a civil suit riposte against this illegal and unethical behavior would be able to include ALL evidence from the canceled prosecution of #Trumpovich for his seditious insurrection, as well as from the 63 failed lawsuits the #GQP filed in 2020 and 2021 on his behalf.

Justice moves very slowly. The question in my mind is: does Newsmax’s deliberate reporting of falsehoods reflect (that is, amplify) #Trumpovich ‘s malicious sedition, and does that sedition, prevented from being proven at trial, prove Dominion’s case? This should be another big settlement.

Cutting the cyber info sharing communities only plays well for #Trumpovich ‘s favored Russian cyber attackers.

Ideology would even be more coherent. What he’s doing is simply attempting to punish people, exert his authority, and gain their gratitude when he relents. It’s simple and it’s plain irrationality on a trans-national scale. World - you NEED to push back, and forcefully.

How is it that the nation’s top law firms are so reluctant to stand up for themselves? How is it that the legal profession, as a whole (including judiciary), tolerates this shakedown of legal firms who have sought to hold #Trumpovich to account for his crimes?

Good summary of the market chaos today. This is not getting better because it’s still caused by the whims of a senile old man. Any way you look at it, #Trumpovich is an idiot.

More on the data theft problem. The range of the data #Trumpovich and the #Muskovites have captured is awful in its breadth, depth, and content. If we still had a GOP, they would be screaming bloody murder…but instead, we have a majority #GQP that rolls over and plays dead. And AI is all over it.

Chaos in the markets, and threats of economic upheaval, pale in comparison with this problem. The concept of unsupervised aggregation and integration of disparate Federal databases, which Congress has specifically forbidden in the past, but which the #GQP seems to be ignoring,is scary and dangerous.

Great piece by Friedman this morning. His insights show us where this chaos leads.

At last, someone who calls it for what it is. How about NYT now?

It would be helpful for experts and authorities who speak to the press to express clearly that the #TrumpTaxes tariffs are malicious and damaging. Stating only that they will reduce GDP and increase inflation is not communicating the entirety of the malice.

This Judge Response brief details the ugliness of the illegal deportation of Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. Who made the decision to apprehend him? Who decided he was eligible for deportation on grounds disproven six years prior, and not appealed by DHS at the time?
