In Spanish the word is estadounidenses, because we’re from the estados unidos.

PropΓΊblica continues to provide one of the strongest examples of how a fair and independent press is a non-negotiable bulwark of democracy.

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate.
In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate.
A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership.
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

Kinetic warfare - Wikipedia

It just means violent war (in contrast to stuff like cyber or psy ops or whatever.) I wonder how Trump would feel if journalists started pointing out that it originated in the Obama admin to describe Iraq. πŸ˜‚

As far as I can tell from this admin’s use of the term, kinetic is a polite way of saying you’re bombing and killing people.

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

47 years is the *opposite* of imminent (which means "something that will happen soon"). These people are so stupid.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Just like with tariffs, there IS NO PLAN. It’s all vengeance and peacocking. These people have no strategyβ€”and just like with USAID, just like with healthcare cuts and destroying our vaccine infrastructure: many people, including children, will die.

Oh yes roundtables where politicians congratulate each other are famously effective at solving problems.

Is this the effect of a post-net-neutrality world? Maintaining a healthy media ecosystem covering the industry that basically runo global infrastructure seems pretty important.

On Tuesday, Wyden, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and a group of 70 other lawmakers sent a letter to the DHS OIG urging it to once again investigate DHS’s purchase of location data. 
β€œPublic reports indicate that ICE has resumed its location data purchases, even though DHS has yet to adopt all of the recommendations from your prior review,” the letter, shared with 404 Media by Wyden’s office, reads. β€œYour 2023 report noted that there was no DHS-wide policy governing component use of commercial location data. DHS created a commercial data working group in 2022, but as of April 2023, the DHS commercial data working group had yet to issue a policy. Your office recently confirmed that this recommendation remains open.”
The letter says that ICE is β€œstonewalling” Wyden’s efforts to investigate the Webloc purchase. Wyden’s office requested a briefing on the purchase after 404 Media first revealed it, with that briefing scheduled for February 10. β€œOne day before that briefing was to take place, ICE cancelled it with no explanation and without any offer to reschedule,” the letter reads.

Today a group of ~70 lawmakers are urging the oversight body of DHS to investigate ICE's location data purchase we recently revealed. DHS previously ICE, CBP, Secret Service all used the data illegally. Letter says ICE is stonewalling congressional oversight www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

It's funny to me when people who love to go on about second order effects of economic policies and the challenges of central planning without local knowledge suddenly drop all of that when it comes to foreign policy.
