If you’re a federal worker looking for a good accomplishment to share with Elon, tell him you responded to texts from the mother of your children.
So, should we civilians not send in our lists?
its amazing the way conservative arguments fall completely apart in court when there are actually penalties for lying
Not really a lot of putting the different pieces of the puzzle together. But across all of HHS, centered especially at nih and nci you’ve got a ton of different actions all of which seem to have the common goal of making certain there’s never a new cancer drug or cure again ever.
Elon is lying. Not only does the Social Security Administration use SQL, the agency has an entire IT division dedicated to database operations. The SSA's entire Master Files index runs directly on DB2.
Cringe?!? What the actual fuck, my dude.
So, anyone else worried about cybersecurity on a Federal level? Installing portable hard drives onto PCs is the sort of thing that would immediately get one arrested in saner times. There is NO WAY a risk assessment was performed in 10 days.
Dems should not allow anything to move in the House or Senate until this is dealt with. Dem have the power in both chambers to jam up the works, and they need to use it.

Wow
The ADL continues their mandate of "Everything is antisemitism except antisemitism"
Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.
And, in case you’ve forgotten from the first go-round, two other points never to forget:
1. Trump and his aides often lie.
2. Trump and his appointees often screw things up.
No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
It’s more than that. It’s the extent of the data it scrapes. Every bit of data in your contacts, every text message you’ve sent (that are available), and perhaps even all of your emails ever (though that last is speculation on my part).
