Cybersecurity breach at Congressional Budget Office remains a live threat Library of Congress employees were informed to take caution when emailing the office of the congressional scorekeeper.

Politico is reporting that the breach at the Congressional Budget Office is "ongoing."

β€œDo NOT click on any links in emails from CBO. Do NOT share sensitive information with CBO colleagues over email, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom at this time,” the email to CBO staff reads.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure β€œstanding up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)

Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

it says a lot about the average politician that this guy seems to expect that zohran mamdani only said what he said to get elected and doesn’t actually believe in anything

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would β€œnegotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

When there is no ballistic evidence, no damage from gunfire, no injuries, & DHS isn’t providing video evidence of the claim from their agents that someone fired shots, then I am going to call bullshit based on the 2 months of fabricated stories by federal officials that have been debunked by videos.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

They went into this terrorized community to incite people. And pepper sprayed an infant. There is no level of depravity these people won’t sink to.

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture."

In our name, with our tax dollars.

Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.

Posting fake AI-generated content that's made to look like an actual event is bad β€” even when it's supposed to be a joke about Trump. Yes, it's a hill I'm willing to die on.

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are deadβ€”and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.
