The government should live in fear of what we the citizens perceive of them, not the other way around. Performance reviews are overdue. My PIP will be hard to achieve and I will relish their downfall.

The thought occurred to me that acting like he has the economic understanding of a toddler may all just be a flim-flam distraction to soak up outrage for all the OTHER autocracy building that they are doing otherwise. Just as Musk was a heat shield. We are drowning in BS.

But on the upside, everyone "owns" it, and no one owns it. Probably a better use case than yet another dumb meme coin πŸ˜†

Prediction - next we'll start seeing big lifted trucks with Soviet hammer and scythe stickers instead of the usual bastardized Trump/American flag decals. Do rednecks even know what borscht tastes like? I think they are going to be disappointed in the end.

As Trump warms to Putin, U.S. halts offensive cyber operations against Moscow Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to pause cyber and information operations against Russia as Trump seeks to bring Putin to the negotiating table to end war in Ukraine.

The Washington Post confirms The Guardian's reporting (denied by DHS) that some CISA cyber-threat analysts have been told to "focus on adversaries other than Russia":

I hope that CISA doesn't get the DOGE treatment in order for not tracking Russian activity to be effectively enacted by cutting the legs out from the organization.

Noem: No anti-disinformation, misinformation action under her as DHS secretary She said at her confirmation hearing that CISA needs to be β€œsmaller, more nimble” and it has gone β€œfar off-mission.”

This is a really bad sign for things to come. CISA's mission is about security and truth, not political deference. Consider the puppy killer source though and her motivation to please an audience of one. Bad way to start.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social would you consider creating a starter pack of what you would consider legitimate and worthwhile news sources? I have a hard time knowing where to turn to anymore. TIA
