As long as this has come up, two things. First, the work Space Force does is incredibly important, and its members' service is as valid as anyone's. Second, they will never outrun how dicked up their rollout was, we should seriously consider disbanding the entire service and trying again.

This is actually the normal and legal functioning of a blockade. Blockading ships can order ships running the blockade to stop for inspection - a ship that refuses to stop can be fired upon to make it stop.

Ships with contraband or running the blockade can be seized.

“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.”

That part! Everything from documentation to compliance mechanisms to whistleblowing is a threat.

I am a Marine, and I am asking all of you to stop buying software from these idiots. There is no software we need that we can't make in-house for pennies on the dollar.

Whether the next dem admin proves them wrong is a fundamental question

And the thing is there is ample reason to impose consequences

- their execs are all drug addicts
- their primary product is a rewarmed overpriced SharePoint
- they say insane shit like "AI is more powerful than nuclear weapons"

It is a strange experience watching this go on when even if the strait *had* opened today, there's a huge amount of disruption baked in here - we're hurtling towards the part of the problem that can't be solved by marketing.

It may be too late to change course...but also we're not changing course.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Trump’s Sycophants Just Approved the Tackiest Monument to Him Yet The Arc de Trump isn’t about America. It’s about one man. It must die.

“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented, bruised ego of one sick man.”

A Well-Aimed Potato: The Klan, Notre Dame, and Today | dansinker.com

With the Trump administration switching into anti-Catholic overdrive this week, I wrote about a time a hundred years ago when Catholic students from Notre Dame beat the shit out of the Klan. A feel good story for the ages. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about.

I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant

Be fair, that's usually to make sure some lance coconut wasn't put on a dumb working party by some 8999 and missed chow while painting rocks, not because we dicked up sustainment.
