GOODLANDER: I want to give you an opportunity to truthfully answer a very simple question -- who won the 2020 election?

COLBY: I'm not gonna talk about that issue

GOODLANDER: ... You swore an oath to our Constitution

COLBY: I'm not going to be drawn out on an issue of political contention

ICE Phishing: Scammers Are Sending 'Support ICE' Emails to Steal Credentials "As part of our commitment to supporting ICE, we will be adding a β€˜Support ICE’ donation button to the footer of every email sent through our platform."

new phishing tactic is to send outrageous emails to corporate clients saying a piece of software they use is going to edit their account to tell their customers that they support ICE:

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 β€” nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

As Trump endangers our servicemembers' lives in the Middle East, he's also cutting care for veterans back home.

The rationale of "Israel was going to strike Iran who would then strike US interests, so that was the imminent threat" is utterly asinine because we attacked Iran and now they are striking US interests anyway

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American Al to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an Al company in the United States.

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.
In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts withβ€”all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.

This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

She played a major role in the wayfinding elements of TPA, including designing the logo. The airport's retained them today & continues to be renowned for its design and layout. Much of that is due to the typeface she designed, Alphabet A, specifically intended to be easily readable at a distance.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

With Latest Rollback, the U.S. Essentially Has No Clean-Car Rules

β€œThe U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups…

β€œNothing. Zero,” she added. β€œNot many countries have zero.”

I think it feels normal to many people because we are raised on fictional villains who look the part. It takes maturity to move past that idea, and to understand physical beauty is completely subjective and detached from character.
