Exactly. With Trump and the Republicans in the majority, this is likely to happen often over the next 3 years, unless we can change things next November in the midterms.

“If lawmakers don’t figure it all out by the new January deadline, Congress risks another partial shutdown or running most of the federal government on what are essentially two-year-old budgets.”

Once again, why would you want to be an air traffic controller or any government employee?😒

Exactly.

🙄🙄

Yes! 🤣

It’s definitely seems like delays are built into Congress. It suck’s that it’s all so slow.

That’s the way I understood the process too. Who thinks Trump will sign it?

I went back through your thread and noticed that there o, there wasn’t a date. Just a general statement.

Definitely with all the tariff stuff going on at the same time. People just need to double check everything before giving out information. But ‘the con’ has been on for time immemorial, it’s just easier now to reach thousands of people quickly.

It really is.

So many scummy people out there. 🤬

Trump’s classified “legal analysis” for his strikes in the Caribbean is chilling. He wants to use the military at any time, for any reason, without congressional approval.

After 25 years of war, Americans deserve a public debate on the use of our military. Trump is stifling it.

Remember when the GOP was concerned about this?

The Lighthouse software helps load the stolen credit-card information onto digital wallets; crates of smartphones loaded with stolen cards, as many as 10 per phone, can be sold and shipped via air freight. Then a laundering expert can help the scammers pay themselves

🚨 Without the victim even formally clicking “Submit” to send through their personal information, the Lighthouse software can pull their credit-card number or password from the text field and store it; if there is multifactor authentication, that passcode will be hoovered up and bypassed, too.

…a message and each of those stolen phones can send it to perhaps hundreds or thousands of targets a day. Or, perhaps, they have an SMS blaster—a big box that acts like a fake cell tower; the spammer drives it around a neighborhood and the blaster sends texts to every phone in its radius.

Inside the Lighthouse interface, a typical dashboard allows you to select the company you want to impersonate, perhaps Citi or PayPal, or even to spin up your own, entirely fraudulent e-commerce websites. Once the fake site is live, you can go to one of these Telegram group chats to find a data…

The messages themselves usually have some clear tells—strange phrasings, suspicious numbers or sender addresses, misspellings. The USPS scam alone, which typically requests a small fee to redeliver a package, may have been responsible for defrauding victims of anywhere from $3 billion to $28 billion

The Criminal Enterprise Behind That Fake Toll Text Beware the smishing triad

“The smishing triad does not directly con everyday people. Instead, it sells software packages to anyone who’d like to do their own scamming. For some $200 a month, the triad’s customers can get a scam rolling, even if they have no technical savvy themselves.”

It looks like a harmless activity 🤷🏼‍♂️

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?"
