Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

I am an unabashed fan of the movie Hunt for Red October. I have found myself using a remix of a famous line from the movie more and more: "CON, SONAR. CRAZY DONALD!"

It's a bit of gallows humor as the world burns but hey, I takes it where I gets it. Credit goes to someone else, not me. Enjoy.

Former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce told Congress probationary firings will devastate U.S. cyber defences. Big point here: "probationary" can still mean experienced operators who simply changed federal jobs and are on probation in the new role. #infosec cyberscoop.com/joyce-china-...

Man I would give a limb to remember my OKP forums username. I lost track of it somewhere in the early 00s. The forums were far ahead of their time...so much magic there. Great 20m watch.

Thank you to all CSRB members, staff, and contributors. It was a beautiful thing for our industry. The reports were fantastic. *pours one out for excellence*
DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.

France, RWC2023. Tadhg Beirne had played the full 80+ minutes in brutal (95F/35C) heat. Starting from an interception at 80+ to a full-length field run. That facial expression is amazing. Well done, Ireland!
