This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

So Trump has decided he can label everything he wants as a national security necessity: his ballroom, his arch, his banning of journalists and a free press. Don't doubt that he will try to undermine or even stop midterm voting as a national security risk. Note: It's all a lie.

China is providing material, components, and potential weapons shipments to support Iran's attempts to kill American military and destroy its bases. Trump's response? He has American military grovel on the ground to fête Chinese leaders with a spotless red carpet.

He destroyed our relationships around the globe with our allies. Cozies up to Ping and has our military on their hands and knees picking something off the red carpet! How disgusting 🤢 But now the farmers are finally fed up but they didn’t care until Now ! Assholes

Thank you, @ahylton26.bsky.social for breaking this story. A mask shouldn’t mean immunity.

ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

Brexit was a “unilateral declaration of political impotence” which has reduced the rudderless UK to “a bobbing cork in the sea”. That is the damning verdict of former Labour foreign secretary David Miliband who has added his voice to the growing clamour to reverse Brexit. Miliband said Brexit

‘We Can’t Have That Happen’ – Rubio Accuses Ukraine of Targeting US-Linked Ships

Rubio says Ukrainian attacks repeatedly hit US-linked vessels, but public reports point to commercial ties rather than US ownership.

Rubio is a Vatnik. Today, Rubio claimed on Fox & Friends that Ukraine has repeatedly targeted American-linked ships & oil supplies over the last few months. Rubio stated that these strikes were "probably not deliberate" but emphasized that the situation needs to be resolved.” He provides no evidence

Highly irregular for a state department official to go on a Faux News talk show on the day of the UN summit and casually toss out unsubstantiated claims like this. Highly irregular and reckless.

UPDATE: Judge Sullivan has DENIED Todd Blanche's Motion for Partial Stay (of the foreign-language documents). He has instead entered a temporary stay so Blanche can try, on an expedited basis, to get the appeals court to enter a stay pending appeal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yep it's Schrödinger's law The law applies to republicans only if you don't apply the law to republicans The judges know this, republicans also knows this The circus continues If a judge issues contempt, republicans ignore it, and the rule of law dies Aka Schrödinger's law

Let's what the DC Circuit Court of Appeals does...it (sadly) can depend on the judges who get assigned the appeal. But, it is being done on an expedited basis so we should know sooner than later.
