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.

As a Jewish CU alum, I'm outraged at what's happened to Mahmoud Khalil and the apparent complicity of @columbiauniversity.bsky.social in cooperating with the government. Free speech and vigorous dissent were a hallmark of my time there, this is a disgrace.

This is bad because it means he’s been thinking about using one.
Trump: "I listen to these climate lunatics and they talk about global warning, and they say the ocean is gonna rise 1/8 of an inch over the next 300 years. And nobody ever talks about nuclear weapons ... they don't talk about the dangers of a nuclear weapon, which could happen tomorrow."

This news seems particularly salient for New Mexico v. Musk, because it shows the power of DOGE over agency business, since no sane agency would ever make these decisions.
After eliminating SEC's access to Westlaw, DOGE briefly limited Treasury's access to PACER.

Out of 34 Sea Grant programs, Maine’s is the only one targeted for elimination by Trump. This isn’t about trans people playing sports. It’s clearly retribution for the Governor standing up to Trump, it doesn’t matter what the policy disagreement is. www.mainecoastfishermen.org/post/press-r...

The idea that a political party must do more dramatic things in response to defeat is not new to the social media age. New bio of John Lewis describes his approach to Newt Gingrich et al taking the House in 1994.
Lewis applied Civil Rights era lessons and a willingness to burst norms to hurt Newt.
