NEW 🧵 Is human intelligence starting to decline?
Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s
What should we make of this?

The Associated Press has sued three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day blocking of its journalists.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

This is what I have to imagine is a relatively rare occurrence of Grassley receiving a letter from someone older than he is.
In an unusually direct appeal, William Webster, a Republican and former director of both the CIA and the FBI, sent a scathing letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), urging him to remember his legacy of strengthening the FBI and stop Kash Patel from being confirmed. www.huffpost.com/entry/willia...
Former GOP Director Of FBI, CIA Urges Chuck Grassley To Deny Kash Patel’s Nomination
“After all the hard work that you’ve done over your career, to allow it to be destroyed on your watch would not be a legacy I would want,” warned William Webster.

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated
The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."
Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

I want to laugh at how deeply stupid Kristi Noem is, and then I remember she’s in charge of the Department of Homeland Security and just want to cry
BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data

Trump and Musk's actions can overwhelm the reader. Important not to forget basic facts.
If Musk illegally accessed federal employee records and tax and social security information and transferred them to a private device, he is vulnerable to prosecution and a multidecade sentence in federal prison.

Snowden was charged with violating the Espionage Act and theft of government property. If the records stolen by Musk include records on armed forces and intelligence employees, I would suspect both might be applicable here too. Does anyone know the statute of limitations on these types of charges?
