Cyber Command, NSA nominee Rudd advances to Senate floor

💥Jeffrey Epstein wrote to Steve Bannon in 2018 that Viktor Orbán was “scaring the shit out of Europe” — around the time Bannon was “advising” him. A newly discovered chat between the two was uncovered by @balintdomotor.bsky.social @telexhu.bsky.social in the recently released Epstein files.

There goes the EU-US trade deal. Always a humiliation to the European side, and now - it seems - an intolerable one.
EPP chair Manfred Weber says EP will not approve EU US tariff deal
"The EPP is in favour of the EU–U.S. trade deal, but given Donald Trump’s threats regarding Greenland, approval is not possible at this stage. The 0% tariffs on U.S. products must be put on hold."

One of the many bad things about the pandemic was the rise of QR codes and how people were conditioned into trusting them. They're actually really dangerous and a widely used way of taking unsuspecting people to phishing sites. Don't scan them; don't trust them.

Agent-running is all about people. The safety of agents – who often treat their case officers as confessional, priest-like figures – is paramount.
