I work in security at a large tech company. I travel as much as I can afford, use sarcasm and humor a lot, and don't take myself seriously. I have 20-something years experience writing and breaking code & enterprise systems.
Senate Dems cannot be trusted. They "got" what they would have had if they had supported the original CR and not shutdown the government. If this deal passes then it was the Democrat shutdown, and they will have to own it.

This is an interesting way to frame cutting/limiting SNAP benefits as "weight loss".
President Trump announced deals with drug companies to lower prices of weight-loss drugs for Medicare beneficiaries and uninsured consumers. The agreements aim to make GLP-1 drugs more affordable.

What you need to know about Medicare coverage for weight-loss drugs
The Trump administration’s pact with drugmakers to lower the price of GLP-1 drugs could pave the way for millions more to access the treatments.

Cybersecurity experts are warning that injunctions – an increasingly popular legal tactic flaunted as protecting data breach victims – are putting people at greater risk of cybercrime.

In technology the skill I find lacking is "I wonder what happens if I click this." Ironically, also the skill that most cyber security experts fear. #curious #cybersecurity

@nedpyle.com I'm assuming you are still here in FL today, and you might think (again) "Hey, it looks great out there for a walk" or maybe the AC in your hotel makes you want to take a "thaw out" walk to the conference center. You might be right for 0.2s, but NO! Take an Uber.

I hope, but doubt, the press just refuses to cover the White House. Give them zero air time. Focus on congress and agency officials. There is one thing Trump cannot accept and that is a total lack of attention.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer choose the pool reporter.

"Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

We need to do a better job of teaching the science and history of disease in the world, and of all the efforts we have done to prevent them. There is no reason for us to relearn via hands on experience why these vaccines were created.
Nearly 100 people across Texas and New Mexico have contracted measles, state officials say, escalating anxiety over the spread of a potentially life-threatening illness that was declared eliminated in the United States more than two decades ago.
Measles, once eliminated in the U.S., sickens 99 in Texas and New Mexico
Health authorities warned of further spread. Most U.S. measles cases this year involved people 19 and under and those without a confirmed vaccination.
