Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called βNumidentβ and the βMaster Death File,β include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parentsβ names."
Privacy was the norm at government agencies before Trump 2. It's hard to explain how hard Musk and DOGE busted through all the safeguards.
What do you want to bet this little tantrum on the WaPo's opinion page is because someone ahead of Professor Jakub Grygiel in the queue at some coffee shop had an elaborate coffee order and he hasn't been able to let it go ever since
Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases βDepartment of Warβ or βSecretary of Warβ without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

Literally got the spins just reading that π΅π€£
How can someone say they have deep respect for Altman and in the same breath state "this is about principle"???
"I'm taking a stand, but not really..."

This is an actual Pentagon press release. βAn Army believed to be casualtyβ¦the believed to be deathβ
It's long past time the American left launch a meaningful free speech movement to push back against these bad-faith trolls and religious zealots.
Yes, but he'll be available for after-hours plumbing and heating issues at Mar-a-Lago and AF1, so that will save taxpayer funds.
Hegseth wants the people he sends to fight trumpβs war of opportunity to die in anonymity.
If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
He started a war during a GOP supermajority government shutdown, no less.

Wanna see Sec Hillary Clinton scorch the fk out of Trump?π₯
Secretary Hillary Clinton could have been the greatest president of all. Unlike many people in government, she knows what she's talking about.
I'm #StillWithHer & I always will be!
reading "Bombing to Win" on the subway and shaking my head to show everyone I'm against bombing to win
"Executive air travel"
We are very far from normal, my friends, but the language the judge uses here is shocking.
Any other time, this would fly through legal commentators with a collective gasp. Here and now, it's a Monday.
A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.
The court JUST said thereβs no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.
