BREAKING via WSJ

The Trump administration is planning sweeping changes in criminal division at the IRS.

Full Story: on.wsj.com/3LbVFtK

The Trump administration is preparing sweeping changes at the Internal Revenue Service that would allow the agency to pursue criminal inquiries of left-leaning groups more easily, according to people familiar with the matter.
A senior IRS official involved in the effort has drawn up a list of potential targets that includes major Democratic donors, some of the people said.
The undertaking aims to install allies of President Trump at the IRS criminal-investigative division, or IRS-CI, to exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations, officials said. The proposed changes could open the door to politically motivated probes and are being driven by Gary Shapley, an adviser to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Literally creating bridges and tunnels to nowhere.

The same party that complains about wasteful spending and building projects halfway.

The stupidity is never ending

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 4h

President Trump said on Wednesday that his administration had “terminated” a commuter rail tunnel under the Hudson River, one of the nation’s most critical infrastructure projects. It was not immediately clear what he meant and whether the project had already been stripped of federal funding.

Trump Says $16 Billion Hudson River Tunnel Project Is ‘Terminated’

It was not immediately clear what the president meant and whether the project, known as Gateway, had already been stripped of federal funding.

I think part of the significant issue with this is that they retailers were still selling windows 10 within the last two years

In late 2023 I went to upgrade my laptop and I was given the choice between one with windows 10 and one with 11

New from 404 Media: the end of Windows 10 support is an e-waste disaster in the making. 400 million computers that cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 set to be cut off from receiving free security updates. Set to affect as many as 42% of all Windows computers worldwide.

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making

In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

I feel like this is an EXCELLENT time to let people know that there are TONS of free operating systems out there. Flash to your hard disk or to a thumb drive and boot from that!

Ubuntu and Tails are great!

404 Media @404media.co · 12h

The end of free Windows 10 support this Wednesday could be an environmental disaster, cutting off 400 million PCs from security updates and dooming millions of still usable computers.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.
