If you tried this back in the Reagan administration you were likely to catch an SDI.

DOGE employee stole Social Security data and put it on a thumb drive, report says | TechCrunch A whistleblower is accusing a former DOGE member of stealing a large number of Americans’ personal data while he was working at the Social Security Administration, with the plan of using it at his new...

A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/

Well this looks like a pretty strong right to publicity tort.

Plaintiffs’ bar, start your engines.

This is how all my nightmares begin now

Trump Antisemitism Inquiry Demanding List of Jews at Penn Heads to Court

The administration’s subpoena for membership lists of Jewish groups clearly violates the First Amendment. SCOTUS held in NAACP v Alabama (1958) the right to privacy in group associations is protected in exactly this scenario. In that case, Alabama sought lists to punish Montgomery bus boycotters.

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

Follow closely this welcome and really important new lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's policy punishing social media misinformation and hate researchers with immigration consequences.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

This is why Tarrio wasn’t physically present on Jan 6. The church vandalism was a few weeks earlier, and he had burned the BLM banner of another church. When he returned to DC on Jan 4, he was immediately arrested for it.

Tarrio and the Proud Boys were also found liable for vandalizing a historic Black church in DC and ordered to pay $3 million for violating the KKK Act, FACE Act, and other civil rights laws.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.

The Big Chill then: A profound exploration of midlife crisis for boomers.

The Big Chill now: All of these boomers are terrible assholes who don’t realize how good they have it.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region. The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyper…

And the answer is simple: it’s because his beard and muscles and aesthetically blue collar oyster job make dweebs in Dem politics feel tough. Irresistible to men desperately insecure about their own masculinity because they subconsciously embrace MAGA’s core gender politics

The U.S. Military's Great Tomahawk Missile Shortage Looks Inevitable Thanks to the Iran War 400 missiles in 3 days. 10% of the fleet gone. Steve Balestrieri breaks down the Tomahawk production crisis threatening U.S. readiness in 2026.

Noem is gonna be sent to New Mexico to intercept Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The FTC is responsible for policing the entire tech industry (and many other things), which includes regulating the safety, consumer protection, and privacy of the AI platforms that are currently driving most of the US economy.

This war costs double the annual budget of the FTC, per day.

Yes, and, it’s possible to be an antisemite without being a Nazi. Most antisemites aren’t Nazis. Grim is flattening the landscape to drive a wedge in a gross way that disregards legitimate concerns about bigotry.

I got a fully loaded 1998 Volvo station wagon to go over 100 mph.

How many of those voters are there in specific swing states? And how many nonvoters are available to mobilize in those states and what are their views?

Unless you have concrete data to support your claim, this is just a BS strawman argument to give an excuse to ignore Platner’s offensive acts.

Also, and this is secondary to the fact that leading left wing pundits like Grim are expressly normalizing antisemitism, but this wasn't just an antisemitic podcast, it was wildly anti-Black, too

Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes. And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

"This stuff doesn't work anymore. Nobody cares" is explicitly nazi rhetoric, which ought to surprise nobody at all coming from Ryan Grim

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

Camp East Montana was supposed to be the Trump administration's model for a new breed of large-scale, makeshift immigrant detention centers. Eight tumultuous months, 60 violations and three deaths later, ICE is preparing to close it. New from me: t.co/jOIIRAMJCo

One was a cook in the Navy in the Pacific in WWII and then was a shoe salesman.

The other was an electrical engineer who designed the lighting systems for the Verrazano Bridge and World Trade Center.

This sucks. The Children’s Museum is an awesome play space for kids. In particular it’s one of the few great indoor play spaces in town for bad weather days.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I mean, you don’t need a fancy AI for that. It’s a war of aggression w/o Congressional authorization, so automatically none of it is legal.
