Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

A Blue-throated Goldentail #hummingbird stretching this morning at @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica

#birds #hummingbirds #nature

Iridescent green hummingbird with a red, black-tipped bill pauses on a lichen-covered branch. Its wings are half-raised, showing a violet sheen, and the tail is fanned with warm orange and brown feathers. Soft, blurred green forest background with natural light.

The amount of security sweeps this is going to require throughout construction to ensure that there are no listening devices or rogue APs in a fucking wall outlet….

BREAKING: Ninth Circuit panel, on a 2-1 vote, allows Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland during litigation. Both judges siding with Trump were appointed by Trump in his first term.

Background at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-trials...

Before: Susan P. Graber, Ryan D. Nelson, and Bridget S. Bade, Circuit Judges.
Concurrence by Judge R. Nelson; Dissent by Judge Graber.
PER CURIAM:
Defendants-Appellants, President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Defense
Peter Hegseth, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, in their official
capacities, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) (collectively, Defendants), seek an emergency stay of the district
court’s October 4, 2025 temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the President’s
Case: 25-6268, 10/20/2025, DktEntry: 61.1, Page 2 of 93
order to federalize 200 members of the Oregon National Guard for 60 days to protect
federal personnel and property at the Lindquist Building, an Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. After considering the
record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President
lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which
authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable
with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.” The evidence the
President relied on reflects a “colorable assessment of the facts and law within a
‘range of honest judgment.’” Newsom v. Trump, 141 F.4th 1032, 1051 (9th Cir.
2025) (per curiam) (quoting Sterling v. Constantin, 287 U.S. 378, 399 (1932)). We
thus conclude that Defendants are likely to succeed on the merits of their appeal, and
that the other stay factors weigh in their favor. We grant Defendants’ motion for a
stay pending appeal.

Some dipshit probably fat fingered an update, and since everything is automated in a “move fast break things” methodology we get this idiocy while they unfuck everything.

How secure are they? They on a separate physical VLAN? All of them have updated, known good firmware? Where’s your video storage? Cloud based? How’s your firewalls? Do you have egress and ingress ACLs?

If you can’t answer any of this buddy have I got news for you…

You paying for time off, food, flights, child care, and bail? No? Then WTF?

There’s been massive layoffs for over two years and counting. People can barely afford to live and you want them to drop everything, fly cross country, and just what? Figure shit out when they get there?

Be serious.
