USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
Wow, Vance and Trump are attacking Zelenskyy in the Oval Office

FOX News just posted the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by former Republican White House lawyers who served in The White House under Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. I am proud to join my colleagues and friends in this endorsement.

WOW! MSNBC called out @KathyHochul because New Yorkers DO NOT feel safe in her state. Things will not change unless we make change by voting @leemzeldin for Governor on Tuesday, November 8th! #SaveOurState

To Alaska (aka Amanda - we figured it out!) Thread - Thank you for sharing this with us. My dad died of cancer when I was 18. Kathryn's parents died within a year of each other when she was 25, her dad of a heart attack while her mom was sick with cancer....

If the president can approve discretionary extrajudicial execution by government agents without consequences, there really are no lines left.
Trump: We sent in the US Marshals, took 15 minutes and it was over... They knew who he was, they didn’t want to arrest him and 15 minutes that ended

Since the Clipper fiasco, every single time the DoJ has talked about encryption backdoors and key escrow, they always start out by saying “we’re not talking about encryption backdoors and key escrow here”. And then they talk about exactly that.

I remember back in the early and mid 90’s, any security or crypto talk you gave had to start with 5 or 10 minutes of justification for why security is an important problem or at least will be someday soon. And no one really believed it.

Dear policymakers, We know terrorists are bad. We know they depend on encryption. They also depend on gravity. Asking mathematicians to "backdoor encryption for terrorists but make it safe for everyone else" is as dumb as demanding physicists do the same for gravity. #kthxbai

I just had a furloughed worker come visit me in my office. “I work for HUD,” he said. “My family is hurting now that I’m three weeks without a paycheck,” “but please - please don’t give into a wall. I don’t want the political tool of withholding my paycheck to be legitimized.”

Every expert on voting security: use precinct counted optical scan ballots and risk limiting audits. Internet: I don’t know what that is, but here’s my idea I spent 10 minutes on that I’m sure is better. Experts: Your idea doesn’t work. Internet: But it has blockchain.

The most depressing solution to the Fermi Paradox is just that, over time, every civilization is statistically guaranteed to empower a couple of reckless morons simultaneously after passing the technological point where that’s a recoverable error. nitter.gq/proudresister/status/9…
Kim Jong Un: “I have a Nuclear Button on my desk.” Donald Trump: “I too have a Nuclear Button but it’s much bigger, more powerful and my button works!” 7.5 billion people in the world and we ended up w/ two egomaniacs in charge who are arguing about their “Nuclear Button” size.
