Really scary stuff.

Pay attention. @ThomHartmann sure is:

"Cyberwar is sort of the opposite of neutron bombs. Instead of killing the people, it takes out the infrastructure with the goal being to disrupt society so severely as to bring down governments (the ultimate goal of most warfare)."

Could Russia Win a War Against America Without Ever Firing a Shot?

Russia’s cyber attack on Ukraine and subsequent invasion, it turns out, may just have been dress rehearsal…

The Hartmann Report
I don’t know whether the GOP will get the votes on their don’t-call-it-a-CR disaster of a bill this week. But I do know that majorities of Republicans voted against similar bills for all of the last 2 years. So what is making them strap on the ball gag and climb into Trump’s dungeon this week?
I'm on my way to Freddy's Bar in Brooklyn to play some tunes for End Times Cabaret! Sarah Mucho on vocals, Elliott Roth on piano and me on the drums and cymbals. Playing rock, pop and jazz classics from 5 to 8pm.

I was commissioned to remake an old painting, Doodle No. 57, for someone to gift to their advisor. It’s always fun revisiting old subjects with new skills. Shading has gotten a lot easier for me since then. Of course, there’s still room for improvement but I think the illusion of depth here is reasonably convincing.

If there are more pigeons than holes, at least one hole must have more than one pigeon.

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.
Keep this in mind when you see anyone in the GOP raise “concerns” about Trump: If elected Republican Senators had decided that January 6 was sufficiently reprehensible to support the House impeachment none of this would have happened.
6/ "Trump’s all-out war on the First Amendment is giving petty local tyrants permission to take measures that would have been unthinkable a few years back. In Clarksdale, Miss., city officials went before a friendly judge this week and — without a hearing — won a court order commanding the local newspaper to take down an online editorial criticizing them. Yes, this really happened in America. (The paper is appealing)."
I’m sure someone I know here knows Marc Zappa… please let him know his FB profile has been hacked and claims to be selling stuff.
This is @murray.senate.gov's effort to track what Trump has cut. I'd love to crowdsource a way to make this a point of exchange, to collect info from contractors who've gotten cut off, and match it to what she's learning as Appropriations Ranking. www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...
