The government can legally scoop up and read Americans' emails and texts, track everywhere they go, and feed huge amounts of data into AI without court oversight. Next month, Congress will have a chance to rein it all in. I'm leading a bipartisan bill to restore real privacy.

We cannot face the fact that a Defense Secretary who ordered the shooting of shipwreck survivors now means what he says about committing war crimes, and so we instead giggle and pretend he is too stupid to understand what he is saying.

Saying openly and explicitly.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa.
Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

'Quicksand alert' issued at National Park Service site The NPS warned hikers about quicksand in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, especially near shorelines and drainages where ground can look dry but give way.

Gen Xers, our extremely niche knowledge is finally useful.

No healthcare.
No free school lunch.
No child cancer research.

But those f*ckers have the audacity to set fire to $11 billion of our taxpayer funds by blowing up little Iranian girls???

I can't WAIT for the midterms. 🤬

I've long been sounding the alarm on Section 702 of FISA, and secret, legal loopholes the government uses to spy on Americans. The program is up for reauthorization in April and I'll be fighting like hell to make sure the current program doesn’t get rubber stamped.

If you're thinking to yourself "Hey! That looks like a statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in a Titanic-themed pose currently on display on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.!" you would be absolutely right.

DHS terminates Camp East Montana operations contract, hires new provider The Department of Homeland Security terminated the contract for Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, hiring a new provider to improve conditions.

ICE confirms that the infamous Camp East Montana will NOT be shut down. Instead, they're giving the contract wholly to Amentum, previously the subcontractor for Acquisition Logistics, the tiny VA military contractor which inexplicably got a $1.2 billion contract.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.
