Live Nation Slacks Reveal Employees Joking About ‘Stupid’ Fans A series of private exchanges in the messaging system Slack were revealed as exhibits in the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against the concert giant.

Ticketing employees at Live Nation called fans “so stupid” for paying inflated charges and boasted that they were “robbing them blind baby,” according to internal messages released in the Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit against the concert giant that includes Ticketmaster.

I remember a CISA who used to be honest about their work… Shame to see what the agency has become now

Absolutely stupid. The last thing you want if you’re carrying a sidearm is to lock up a/someone, putting them in easy reach of your weapon, & then going straight to ground w/them.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

1,887 days.

That is how long it took House GOP leadership to allow a simple plaque honoring the heroes of Jan 6 to be placed in the Capitol.

Five years of foot-dragging, revisionist history, and cowardice. They didn't want this memorial because they didn't want the reminder. Absolutely shameful.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

Vulnerability management is in some trouble and I have thoughts on how to deal with it.

TL;DR - exploitation is happening too fast for traditional vuln mgmt to be effective.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.
