Really key stuff here. DOGE flipped the Institute's security contractors - Inter-Con - against them by threatening to cancel all their security contracts across the federal government.
This is where DOGE's money meets up with guns and the lawyers are kicked to the side.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail.

Good thing Trump/Musk fired the folks supposed to be doing the investigation into what happened.
China's Salt Typhoon hackers are still breaching telecom networks worldwide, including two in the US in Dec-Jan, says Recorded Future. Lately they're exploiting Cisco devices with unpatched 2023 bugs and seem undeterred by high profile exposure and sanctions. www.wired.com/story/chinas...
