He declared all of Lake's actions over the past year to be null and void, including the layoffs of more than 1,000 journalists and staffers. n.pr/4sy0uhE

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

A few scoops in this one @dell.bsky.social and @regret.bsky.social on Mobile Fortify, ICE's face recognition app.
• Not built to confirm identities, just possible matches
• Only approved after DHS blew up its centralized privacy review process
• Feeds a few databases that store info for 15+ years
UPDATE: The 21 year old who has been posting “chilling” white supremacist messaging on Trump’s official Department of Labor feeds was finally fired.
JUST KIDDING! DHS hired him.
(P.S. They’ve been doing it too)

If claims start getting paid out, you're looking at a transfer of wealth with US taxpayer money going to private companies. There's also the possibility that you create an incentive for companies, particularly with older tankers, to feed ships and crews to the woodchipper.
Any store that does surveillance pricing will lose a lot of business.
🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”
There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
The madman Trump posts:
“Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time.“
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

How and when do user tests by real live human users fit into the vibe coding process?
Where did they find it? Who had it? How did it move from Iraq to London? Would love to know more.

‘Braunthal and his wife were among 13,000 Jews in and around Paris who were forcibly rounded up by the French police in July 1942 and interned under inhumane conditions in a Parisian velodrome. While there, Nazi officials confiscated the rest of Braunthal’s art collection ’

Faced with the Met’s “delaying tactics and manifestly abusive attitude, despite the numerous pieces of evidence provided by Max Braunthal’s heirs in support of their claim, the latter had no choice but to initiate the present proceedings.”

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
Jewish heirs are suing the Met over Camille Pissarro’s "Haystacks, Morning, Éragny" (1899), arguing it was sold under Nazi-era duress in 1941 by collector Max Julius Braunthal. The case highlights ongoing legal and ethical challenges surrounding Nazi-era restitution.

Wow just getting a chance to watch this interesting speech from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse on the Senate floor from earlier today. It’s a long watch but worth it. This link is from Forbes Breaking News channel

European and other countries seem to have done nothing in response to the unlawful abuse suffered by their nationals by Noem’s DHS.
Are they planning to investigate reports of injury and death? Prosecute?

How is it possible that this person has not been disbarred?
DOJ didn't have all those FBI agents going through the Epstein files flagging Trump's name for no reason. They tried to release only the files without Trump's name in them, but they missed a few. A few. Most of the bad stuff about Trump is being kept from us. 2/2
