Courts should treat biometric locks as equivalent to password protection, EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @TheIntercept.com. “Your constitutional right against self-incrimination should not be dependent on technical convenience or lack thereof.”

This was simultaneously hilarious and damning examination of the shoddiness of Isaacson’s work. It’s something we came across multiple times in reporting our own book and factchecking it against his.
Hannah has been a top, top reporter on all things DOGE and the federal government. Hard to see this other than anything but an attempt to chill journalism and the First Amendment protected right to a free press. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...
Jeff Bezos is no stranger to issues of press freedom. He got a lot of goodwill when helping WaPo's Jason Rezaian get out of Iran. He stood with Khashoggi's wife after the Saudi gov murdered him.
Which makes his silence on one of WaPo's reporters getting raided on home soil all the more salient.
Elon Musk shows up on stage at Davos, a place he has hated on from afar for years. After tepid applause, his interviewer, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, asks the crowd to clap again.
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos has still not said anything publicly about federal agents raiding the home of one of his reporters last week.
He is, however, using his X account to refute apparent misinformation about himself within a few hours of it being posted.
At least he admits our information is "factual"!
A reminder: David Sacks is influencing AI and crypto policy while holding investment stakes in companies that will benefit from those policies. Factual.

i'm at least a mac regular
kinda incredible that he sat down and was like, "the best forum for this apology is a paid advertisement in the wall street journal"
This also means that Tesla and SpaceX have funded an AI company that has created nonconsensual sexualized images of children.
For those keep tracking at home, SpaceX also invested $2 billion in XAI. Musk is using his companies to fund one another.
X post from Elon Musk that reads: No one pushed harder than me to have the Epstein files released and I’m glad that has finally happened. I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his “Lolita Express”, but was well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name. I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein, especially regarding heinous exploitation of underage girls.
Interesting to watch Musk spin his newly released correspondence with Epstein.
What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.
Our thoughts will be on Patreon and BlueSky, where we’ve created a “starter pack” of DC and global aviation journalists worth following.

For years we’ve clung to hope the platform would once again find its “north star,” but that hope has faded.
It’s with a heavy heart we announce we are leaving Twitter. Since 2020 we have created creative projects, celebrated their milestones, found collaborators and made real life friends there. But the site has not represented our values as Washingtonians for a while now.
One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.
In early November, reports circulated that a woman was arrested at an airport in Utah.
Then, later in the month, a 19-year-old college student was arrested at the airport in Boston.
We reveal how these arrests came to be.
To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
What it's like to be Elon Musk's favorite X influencer, a digital remora feeding on likes and reposts www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/b...
I can't afford eggs, my kid has the whooping cough, and the data center down the road has caused my electricity bill to triple. But at least the mascot for my town's high-school football team is still a drunk guy dressed up as an American Indian.
this is the third scoop Hamed posted just TODAY. he’s a machine on the DHS beat.
Special agents at the Homeland Security Department have made fewer arrests for drug crimes and seized fewer weapons than they did the previous fiscal year, according to internal government documents reviewed by The New York Times.
www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...
Last week, we wrote about DHS agents being pulled off child exploitation + terrorism investigations to arrest undocumented immigrants. Now we've seen internal data showing drop in drug + weapons cases.
- Drug arrests ↓ 11%
- New drug cases ↓ 15%
- Weapons seizures ↓ 73%
Minimalist vertical memorial poster with light gray background. Centered text reads: “Ballots beat bullets. Authoritarians hated that USAID helped prove it.” Below is “USAID” with “US” in dark blue and “AID” in red. Under it: “1961 to 2025.” At the bottom: “The first November 3 without you.”
