The Trump trade war targets two of our closest allies, Canada and Mexico, but plays nice with China, a notorious trade cheat and driver of fentanyl.

President Trump owns the economic and national security fallout.

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure.

Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void.

This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)
Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.
REPORTER: I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.

TRUMP: Because I have common sense, ok? And unfortunately a lot of people don't

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities.

Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice.

The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.
