Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics.

It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology.

Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders.

And then it all becomes clear.

It is NOT GREAT(TM) to hear that threat actors were in OCC's network and reading emails for almost two years (timeline from paywalled Bloomberg article citing a memo from OCC to Congress).

It's even worse that OCC needed MSFT to notify them of the incident.

OCC Notifies Congress of Incident Involving Email System
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today notified Congress of a major information security incident, as required by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act.

these people saw the attention and affection Booker got and they wanted summa dat. courage begets courage.
Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.

This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
