Scott Kraft, was also @wafflepop on twitter. Love to travel, read, hike, swim, look at art, watch animation - and chat about whatever comes to mind. Basically a news junkie who loves a good story.

OMG

🚨🚨#Trump's *#NationalSecurity* team accidentally included The Atlantic's Jeff Goldberg in a #Signal conversation about strikes on #Houthis, & they used the non-governmental platform to coordinate staffing among departments & the White House.🚨🚨

They absolutely broke several #laws in communicating classified detailed warplans over a nongovernmental app on their private phones.

I mean… talk about an #idiocracy & #kakistocracy.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

If we've learned anything over the past couple of decades, we can reasonably surmise #APNews is heading into a legal buzzsaw.

How did the local version of kleptautocracy deal with NGOs of all kinds, in the Russian Federation? Largely by exploiting statutory framework in bad spirit. Tax laws. AP is a 501(c)(3) and at their scale wading through a full IRS 990 without innocent errors/omissions is very difficult.

AP is globally beneficial. So let's all give them a hand.

I just want to say big thanks to the American people who supported us Ukrainians in defending our homes.

We will still carry on with our defense. I know you will still support us, but just as ordinary people.

big THANK YOU 🤝

PSA: Folks in the US probably want to head over to their local #PBS (TV app, website, figure out the schedule) to watch their thing on Hazel Scott. https://www.pbs.org/video/the-disappearance-of-miss-scott-jk0j1y/ (also available with audio descriptions or ASL.)

If you don't know the name (or only remember Alicia Keys dropping her name at the Grammys), go fix that, because I promise that you all want to...

Before I was fired tonight, I was in charge of information security for VA.gov, which has millions of users per month and stores and processes huge amounts of veterans' personal information. I've been told by people I've worked with that I'm the best at what I do of anyone they've ever worked with. Now there will be _no one_ in charge of information security for VA.gov.
Does this seem like improving government efficiency?

I’ve tried DuckDuckGo for years and it was never good enough to replace Google. I’m here to tell you that it’s no longer the case. It’s a superior experience without the tracking, AI, and boot-licking. I highly encourage you to make the switch. Set it up as the default search engine on your phone and computer. #duckduckgo #websearch
