"Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even 'read only,' likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced."
That's from a Treasury Department threat intelligence warning.

National Assembly member and SNU constitutional law scholar Cho Kuk is making a statement to the press using strong words—the president needs to stand down the declaration IMMEDIATELY, to ignore this is tantamount to a military rebellion, the declaration ITSELF was illegal and he must answer for it
BREAKING: South Korea's parliament votes 190-0 to lift martial law
The South Korean military occupied the National Assembly. MPs are being prevented from entering Parliament by police. All political associations, gatherings, demonstrations, and other political activities are banned. South Korea is currently a dictatorship.
Chinese Crypto fraudster Justin Sun purchased $30 million in crypto tokens from Trump's World Liberty Financial. Sun said his company, TRON, was committed to "making America great again." Move could be detrimental to the environment. #opcanary 🧵

For those interested in the Syrian rebel group that has captured Aleppo. “Today, HTS can be thought of as a relatively localized Syrian terrorist organization, which retains a Salafi-jihadist ideology despite its public split from al-Qaeda in 2017” www.csis.org/programs/for...
If there’s no precedent of a 1-place pen being used for this situation before, then it feels very odd & unusual to apply this to Max Verstappen.
The document reads as if it’s arguing against a penalty too. Very odd.
Charles Lister @Charles Lister NEW - it now looks feasible that #Syria's opposition will control all/most of #Aleppo & #Hama provinces within the next 24hrs. Quite literally an earthquake within ~14yrs of #Syria's crisis. #Assad looking more vulnerable than ever - an absolute collapse. 9:19 AM • 11/30/24 • 46K Views
Hassan I. Hassan @hxhassan VERY conceivable the rebels will be in Tartus, Latakia, Homs & Hama within the week. Russia strikes won't stop them without heavy Hezbollah + Iran ground forces. Assad elite forces defend Damascus. Eyes on Turkey & Israel. Will Turkey go all in? Will Israel strike Iran buildups? Hassan I. Hassan @hxhassan • 1h The total collapse continues. The rebels are taking areas as fast they can drive. The regime won't have the breathing space to even think about mobilizing f... 9:54 AM • 11/30/24 • 32K Views
Charles Lister ( @Charles_Lister Well placed sources say #Assad remains in #Moscow, while much of his family & close allies are also abroad - in #Russia & the #UAE. That adds a stunning extra angle to the collapse of northern #Syria. 10:32 AM • 11/30/24 • 42K Views

⚠️ In Syria:
Opposition forces are reportedly advancing south from Aleppo toward Hama (which is about halfway to Damascus).
Assad remains in Moscow, with his family and close allies also reportedly abroad.
The Syrian analysts I follow are all quite stunned at how quickly things are moving.
It’s amateur hour in The Hague, so we get a far-right minister dreaming of an individual Dutch trade deal with the US. He clearly is unaware of the fact that trade is a European Union competence. It has to be, because you can’t have a Single Market without a unified trade regime.

Alsof de Nederlandse politiek die urgentie begrijpt. We hebben in dit land iemand in het Torentje zitten die vakkundig gesouffleerd wordt door de lange arm van Poetin. Door Wilders welteverstaan, de echte premier van Nederland.

A transcription of the radio messages between Riccardo Adami and Carlos Sainz before the second round of stops at the F1 Las Vegas GP.
Got around to listening to Sainz and Adami's messages before the second stops.
RA asks CS to let Leclerc by into turn 14 on lap 26 — he doesn't.
Sainz says he'll let him by into turn 5 on lap 27 — he doesn't.
Eventually he does into turn 14 on lap 27.
And people wonder why CL lost it...
Max Verstappen won the drivers' championship with two races to spare in one of the most competitive grids ever while driving a car that had this kind of pace advantage.
Zero doubt about it, 2024 was a legacy-defining championship season by Verstappen.

In early 2022 Russia’s APT28 (GRU unit 26165) managed to breach an U.S. organization through its enterprise WiFi network after compromising a dual-home device of another organization within WiFi range in a nearby building.
@volexity.com’s latest blog post describes in detail how a Russian APT used a new attack technique, the “Nearest Neighbor Attack”, to leverage Wi-Fi networks in close proximity to the intended target while the attacker was halfway around the world.
