Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

A human rights crime is unfolding, largely hidden from sight.
Venezuelans are being shackled & flown to Guatanamo.
Trump said ‘Gitmo’ was for the “worst of the worst”. Well, many have no criminal record at all.
One person’s crime was riding a bike on the wrong side of the road.

Having covered Tesla when it first started I can say unequivocally that company would never have existed without government subsidies. NPR on the other hand gets 98-99% of its revenue from non-governmental sources. But go off, Goebbels.

Rubio just out there telling lies. I guess he learned from the liar in chief.
The Panama Canal Authority has refuted U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s assertion that a deal was made to allow U.S. government vessels to transit the canal without fees, clarifying that no such agreement exists and that the established fee structure remains unchanged.

We need more of this. Do NOT obey blindly.
The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

“To turn off, go to Settings > Apps > Photos on iOS and turn off Enhanced Visual Search. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General to do the same. You must do it on each of your Apple devices.”
Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.
