🧵 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
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

As a wine drinker, I absolutely love California Cabernets. The only upside to this tariff situation is that I feel the SAQ has always had a good selection of European wines so the loss isn't immense. Having tried Quebec and Ontario wines, I'm happy to buy the bottles and gift them to friends!

Everyone keeps thinking the rational, even-tempered adults will come back. They are gone. Our global order is quickly devolving into every man for themselves. Eat or be eaten.
The meeting between Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy couldn't have gone better. The world now knows with no subtlety, no subtext, and no guessing, exactly where the United States stands.
The Trump Administration has yanked the free world around since November.
There was never a deal. The masks are off.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together understands how the Trump and Vance fucked over Zelensky. All I see are people resharing the news with "Putin must be proud". Of course he is, thank you for your valuable insight. What are Americans who CARE going to DO about this?

Reading the Expanse series this weekend feels increasingly more like a roadmap than a work of fiction.
A private company is aiming to heave a microwave oven-size spacecraft toward an asteroid later this week, its goal to kick off a future where precious metals are mined around the solar system.
Earth’s 1st Asteroid Mining Prospector Heads to the Launchpad
The dream of mining metals in deep space crashed and burned in the 2010s. AstroForge’s Odin mission to survey a potentially metallic asteroid is packed and ready to lift off.

Many countries (and a particular Canadian province) have conducted deals for Starlink. I hope this gives them pause to consider potential national security issues associated with such agreements.
"U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters."

I normally assist cars stuck in the snow but I wouldn't risk cutting myself on this stupid piece of shit.
The great thing about this video is that it's shot in Quebec — meaning this Cybertruck is legally required to have snow tires on.
It has snow tires and it STILL can't move.

Good. Legault's poll numbers are down, so instead of dealing with our actual problems, he resorted to digging out the 'ole whacking stick to wield against Muslims, praying this would distract from his subpar leadership. Happy the feds are calling out his bullshit on the "border issues".
