A federal judge has temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from Social Security Administration systems that hold personally identifiable data on millions of Americans. The decision from U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander also requires the team to delete any identifiable data they may have. It comes after labor unions and retirees asked for an emergency order limiting DOGE access to the agency and its vast troves of personal data. The administration has said DOGE's work at the agency is aimed at reducing waste and fraud in the federal government.
But don't let the awesomeness of the #TeslaTakedown fool you. Musk's persistence comes from the same evil machine that props up Trump. Last week offered another in a series of heartbreaking reminders to all Americans who care about freedom, science, and each other: No one is coming to save us.

Microsoft Office is vulnerable to a binary planting issue when you place AI.exe into %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\root\<Office Version>
winword.exe apparently looks there for AI.exe first and you can hijack the proper AI.exe load with your malicious one"
