Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex
Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office.

It is genuinely your moral duty, if you’re in the sciences, to violate the terms of your contact and take as much of the research home with you as you can. Today, tomorrow, every day your lab’s still open.
this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.
They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

Call your representative, call your senators. Demand that they withhold their votes until and unless Trump and Musk are brought to heel.
@tommalinowski.bsky.social is completely correct here. If Democrats provide the decisive votes to sanction Trump’s criminal government, it’ll be a historic failure of both principle and politics. newrepublic.com/article/1925...

bluesky signup requirements have relaxed to the point at which a lot of people on here have never committed arson. you used to need either two convictions or eight charges. in rare cases someone in the arson community could vouch for you, but loopholes were rare. now it's essentially a free-for-all

The quoted sentence takes you to whole new worlds every three words or so.
Worse than I thought! For example:
“John Lilly, a neurophysiologist and psychedelic researcher who once used LSD to investigate dolphin communication, famously abused ketamine until he believed that he was contacted by an extraterrestrial entity who removed his penis.”

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

An unprecedented, full-blown crisis - the total failure of Article I of the Constitution- & the Fourth Estate is not communicating this basic, essential fact to the public.
I continue to be astounded by how much of the DC media is just credulously providing stenography for Trump — treating the simple fact that Trump LEGALLY can’t achieve what many of his EOs “order” as an aside.
1/ With WSJ reporting: "President Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as Thursday aimed at abolishing the Education Department."

the question i have for the "we must bring the entire consumer goods sector to american shores" folks is, with what workers?
But if the price of goods is rising to facilitate the reinvigoration of American production and a transition to an economy that prioritizes domestic goods and markets, that’s a tradeoff we should consider.
