In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Someone actually pre-drafted a #FOIA request for you to send directly to #DOGE so that you can find out what personal information of yours that ketamine-addled doofus has. Here's a link to it. Happy hunting.

Copy all. Adding pronouns to my signature line first thing in the morning.
As I was complying with the order I received today to remove my pronouns from my work email I was reminded of this again.
Imagine being afraid of pronouns.

NEW: NSA whistleblower Tom Drake takes stock as a security apparatus that frivolously prosecuted him for espionage stands back so the minions of an unelected billionaire can force access to classified information and undermine Constitutional government. This is its Uvalde moment.
Elon Musk and The Security State's Uvalde Moment
“We have a Constitutional crisis, period," says NSA whistleblower Tom Drake, who can't help but notice how the three-letter agencies that went after him aren't stopping this.

FIVE! YEARS SOBER!
I'm grateful, calmer and more compassionate. I'm happy. I'm different.
It's been a lot of work, and not all the times are great.
One day at a time. Rely on the people that love you. Realize what matters and be thankful for that.

The “A” in DEIA stands for accessibility. Federal workers with disabilities, including many veterans, deserve respect and the opportunity to work in public service. A diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace makes public service better and makes everyone’s lives better.

Surgery follow-up today:
Me: So is there any reason I can't get a new tattoo?
Doc: No. As long as it's cool.

So what is a post on @bsky.app called?!?!? Like on Twitter, it was called a "Tweet".
So what're we calling it? A "Bloop"? Help me out here.

The Tic Tok ban was never about security. It was an attempt to force them to sell to a US social media company (Elon or the Zuc). If it was about security then the law would ban certain privacy actions. They're not going to make those bans because it would impact the US companies as well.
