Fully agree - always use alphanumeric password for border crossings.

However, this digital ID can’t be used for border crossings or international travel.

I agree. We should never hand over an unlocked device. However, this cannot be used for border crossings. It’s basically a “shortcut” for domestic air travel rather than having to present your passport.

Does this require handing an unlocked phone to law enforcement? My understanding is it’s using NFC.

Why a Pennsylvania Court Election This November Could Matter in 2028

In my opinion, the 2nd most important election this November (after CA Redistricting) is the trio of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention elections.

Many in PA are unaware, and we need to fix that.

All 3 Justices MUST be retained.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

Anyone who assaults a police officer in DC will be charged with a felony. Especially if they do so during our forthcoming military funeral for Ashli Babbitt.

While DOGE crippled medical research and cost-effective foreign aid programs, they also didn’t save any money. 🙄

Trump Administration Live Updates: Johnson Shutting Down House Until September to Block Epstein Vote

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people.

These bastards want us all dead.

This is FOUL.

What's next? Does the U.S. pay reparations to every descendent of a Confederate soldier who died in the Civil War?

It is the same premise.

Major Church Defies Trump by Refusing to Resettle His ‘Refugees’ “It has been painful to watch one group of refugees, selected in a highly unusual manner, receive preferential treatment,” the presiding bishop said.

The Episcopal Church is ending its refugee resettlement partnership with the federal government over the Trump administration’s “preferential treatment” of white South Africans.
