I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

My long-held stance about gamedev is that "juniors will run circles around the entire industry if merely given the chance." Either help lift them up or get out of the way!!!

Would you wear a smart ring that proves you’re not a cheater? First comes love, then comes biometric tracking.

Today in vaporware for psychopaths, here's an emotional surveillance wearable for "keeping tabs on heart beats, body heat, and interactions around your partner. When something’s up, you’ll know." @vicmsong.bsky.social asks who asked for this.

If ever there was to be an airport whose crowded airspace lead to the deaths of several elected officials, it would absolutely have to be the one renamed after the president that fired all the air traffic controllers.

Now, the administration is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants and others who had legal status to “self-deport” by effectively canceling the Social Security numbers they had lawfully obtained, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with six people familiar with the plans.

The goal is to cut those people off from using crucial financial services like bank accounts and credit cards, along with their access to government benefits.

The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security’s “death master file,” which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

This is straight up theft. DOGE has no congressional legitimacy. No oversight. No legally defined mission. The Institute of Peace, on the other hand, was congressionally established. DOGE must be stopped.
