Bird flu is back, and outbreaks have already led to the culling of 7.3M farmed birds. The US has effective vaccines, and I wrote about why we don't use them (and why we should): www.vox.com/future-perfe...

INSANE!

DOGE goes into NLRB, gets root access to their servers, disables security protocols & moments later Russian users start logging in with the new user/password info DOGE created. The Govs cyber security team was told to stand down & NLRB was told to discontinue their reporting.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

The #USAID website has just gone dark, amid reporting Trump may try to dissolve the #ForeignAid agency completely.

@tessbridgeman.bsky.social explains Congress established USAID in statute and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by #ExecutiveOrder.
