There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Seems like a pretty important detail

Donald Trump is neither a savvy negotiator nor a brilliant dealmaker. He is a craven bully who telegraphs not only his final goal but his next move in achieving it. He is the kind of mark every poker player dreams of having at the table — rich, cocky and dumb. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.
