The Conduent breach; from 10 million to 25 million (and counting) A third-party breach at Conduent now affects 25 million Americansβ€”many never knew their data flowed through its systems.

After the DOGE nonsense my info ended up on the dark web. I’m sure this will be just as bad. Change all your passwords and get 2FA.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His β€˜Girls’

ICYMI over the weekend: My colleagues and I reviewed 15,000 documents to put together a detailed account of how Jeffrey Epstein leveraged medical care to manipulate and control victims, and how some doctors enabled that. Gift link:

Trump plans to use the war as an excuse to suspend elections.

So here’s a reminder:

We had elections during WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, etc

We even had elections during the civil war.

There is no excuse that should override these precedents.

I can see why the Republican leadership is fine with allowing Trump to do whatever without their having to vote for it. Saves them from going on record over Trump’s most insane shit. But when the trials happen, we’ll remember who voted to put him in power and those who voted to give him free rein.

We had elections during WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, OEF, OIF, OND, and the civil war.

Our milliondieth war is not an excuse to not have elections. But not having elections could be an excuse for a civil war.

If we could have an election during a Civil War, we can do it under any conditions.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch investigation.

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): β€œI went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

Chronic ocean heating fuels β€˜staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm heartbroken by the news of the loss of 3 U.S. service members in the Iran War today. There is nothing more terrifying for our military families than the knock on your door of officers while your loved one is serving. 35 years ago I lost my first men in combat and that weighs on me still today.
