The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's a great opinion by Judge Ana Reyes (and sound on the law—Noem was too busy posting to follow even the basics of the statute). Worth a read, and don't skip the footnotes.
![Alexander Moritz Frey was the first to use “shithole” as a descriptor of a “wretched place,” doing so in his seminal antiwar novel, The Cross Bearers (1930). See Shithole, Oxford English Dictionary, https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=shithole. Frey’s life story confirms the role democracies can play in welcoming, as George Washington did, “the oppressed and persecuted.” Frey, a prolific author and pacifist, served as a medic in the trenches of World War I alongside Adolf Hitler. Hitler later tried to convert him to Nazism, but Frey staunchly refused. He fled Germany in 1933, as Nazis burned his books, raided his apartment, and issued a warrant for his arrest. He lived his remaining years in exile, first in Austria and then in Switzerland. See Von David Gordon Smith, Eye-Witness Account of Hitler’s WWI Years Found, Spiegel International (April 30, 2007), https://www.spiegel.de/ international/zeitgeist/ rediscovering-alexander-moritz-frey-eye-witness-account-of-hitler-s-wwiyears-found-a-478359.html [https://perma.cc/RU49-2Y4U].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddvus7otnqtlh7fdooxm6qat/bafkreibq7vhlepsylu3bpwppbsvmdeke7bduapj6r2iqtvxk6xo7eswv6y@jpeg)

TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

In midtown, striking nurses are marching on Kathy Hochul’s office, calling out an emergency order she signed allowing traveling nurses to work in NY during the strike.
They say that move has prolonged the strike and is a handout to the hospital system.
