The issue with having attorneys who understand nothing about data security and data manipulation maki mg decisions about data access… The flood gates are now open. Whatever happens to the data once it’s been accessed is tough to walk back.
In a 6-3 ruling, SCOTUS is letting DOGE access millions of Americans' sensitive data, including Social Security numbers, medical histories and banking information.

Tom Homan looking like a now-dead, former dictator, Fidel Castro in attire that looks an awful lot like military fatigues.
Q: "Some arrests have been made at immigration courts and schools...Are those students public safety threats? Why are they now being targeted?"

Border Czar Tom Homan: "There's no sanctuary in this country for a significant public safety threat or national security threat."

@nytimes.com , update your numbers. National estimates are in at 5.2 million. Check your sources. #DoBetter #HandsOff #DataReporting

And again, nothing but tariffs at the top line, but something much bigger is happening in response.

One huge KPI on #HandsOff protest success.
West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Protesting make you hungry. Post #HandsOff protest lunch at Roadhouse Brewery across the town square, where 100’s showed up in Jackson,WY.

@nytimes.com , there are protests happening all across the country. Why is this the first thing I see when I open my app? #DoBetter

@warnock.senate.gov , left your office a message yesterday @ $0.25/minute calling from Germany while on vacay. #FreeKhalil thank you for always writing back after I call. You are a true public servant. My vote was a prayer for you. 🫶🏼

@ossoff.bsky.social , writing to encourage you to fight for Mahmoud Khalil. Disappeared into a private Lousiana immigration detention facility. A violation of free speech for one, is a violation for all. #FreeKhalil

Excellent use of Org Chart Diagram.
I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

A chart for a red state.
I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves.
We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves.
We will drink Canadian whiskey.
True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

This suggestion by Mark Cuban caught my eye; might work, certainly worth floating, but I think insufficiently cynical. Opposition to phasing out coal isn't about jobs; it isn't even, mostly, about profits. It's a front in the culture war. 1/
One thing I proposed was to completely buy out the coal industry. For about 36b , you could buy all the coal plants (at a nice profit for owners ), give their customers 5 to 10 yrs to transition and give all employees full pay till retirement.

Take out coal and other paths get simpler
Thoughts?
