Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

From my buddy PuckArks
National security adviser Mike Waltz who added a reporter in while discussing the Yemen attacks has left his Venmo contacts open for the public
This is a man we are supposed to trust with national security?
He has since closed his contacts but before he did it was captured

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
