Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.
A frightening reading!
"[...] by 2030, U.S. data centers will consume more electricity than all of the country’s heavy industries—more than the cement, steel, chemical, car, and other industrial facilities put together."

Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing
I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”
Including his TikTok follower count is so pathetic
This thread -- & the thread it links to, & @jamellebouie.net's original insight -- are super-important to understand. To the average Ivy-educated, DC-centric journalist, the MAGA base is almost entirely theoretical. They don't know any genuine MAGAts, they just construct a Noble Savage imaginary.
Trump and his oil-obsessed mega donors are hellbent on killing our planet to extract every last drop of oil—at the expense of our health and environment. With Trump it’s polluters over people, every single time. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/c...

This is the weakest an American President has ever been on the world stage.
I don’t see a way out of this. Taking the Strait of Hormuz or seizing Kharg island will result in considerable loss of life. We can’t exactly apologize because we killed the Ayatollah. I doubt anyone besides Israel is gonna help us. This is a disaster.
'As recently as December 2024, Mr. Kushner suggested that he would not seek more money for Affinity during Mr. Trump’s second term...he told the podcaster Patrick O’Shaughnessy that he would “pre-emptively try to avoid any conflicts.”,,,That appears to have changed.' www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...
FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcast licenses over Iran War coverage
Trump made the odd declaration that Iran can continue to assail oil tankers "no matter how badly defeated they are" — in a rant intended to reassure.

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.
A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.
A Pentagon recruiter openly offers corruption: “unmatched access to top-level government officials and privileged information flow — whatever you need, you can get.”

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
in a single sentence Trump claims Iran's military is "destroyed 100%" but also admits "it's easy for them to send a drone or two" 🙃
It’s as if antizionism is antisemitism.

Text reads chem test today, I’m prepared to cheat on the whole thing. They’re already in the classroom and it seems too late to stop them from cheating.
They’ve decided to cheat with ChatGPT, saying: “Hello chat, I’m going to upload four pictures and a couple of minutes (they probably meant in.. omg 😭) I need you to give me the answers for every problem, do not explain how to get the answer, just show me the answer and the slight work for it if it needs it. If it’s an ABCD question, immediately give me the answer.” ChatGPT replies: “Got it” and gives them the instructions back in full and tells them to go ahead and upload the images.
They got their test back, their result is an F, who could’ve seen that coming right?
This text to ChatGPT reads: Chat let me know how I got an F. ChatGPT: You probably got an F, because many of the answers I gave you earlier were wrong. It then proceeds to show them the correct answers from the test.
A story in four parts. 😭

same pattern as mine!
