Leading ADN vendor F5 says nation-state actor had long-term access to its production environment and engineering resources. CISA is ordering agencies to update F5 products and isolate them from the internet. Passwords, API keys, data at risk.

I remember going to my first College Repubs meeting in undergrad in ~2010/11, the main topic being discussed was pure anti-Muslim hatred and I was somehow in shock. That was the end of my Republican tenure

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.

Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have tracked data centers’ growing water footprint. He says California is “well positioned” to support the AI-driven data center boom, and he is reluctant to impose “rigid reporting requirements.” www.latimes.com/environment/...
California cracks down on water theft but spares data centers from disclosing how much they use

Chris Van Hollen for Senate Minority Leader.

We need someone at the helm who understands the fight we're in and is willing to fight it. As far as I've seen, no one in the Senate Dem caucus is speaking with more clarity or conviction.

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III. 

Looking forward to No Kings Day.
Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering
Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Is Gerrymandering Poisoning the Well of Democracy? Evaluating the Relationship between Redistricting and Citizens' Attitudes Ryan D. Williamson and Florian Justwan Redistricting is often a hotly contested affair within states as the party in power attempts to maximize its chances for electoral success through injecting partisanship into the process. Previous works have evaluated how different redistricting practices can influence elections, but little is known about how redistricting can impact citizen attitudes toward government. Using an original survey with a unique experiment, we evaluate the relationship between how redistricting is performed and how satisfied citizens are with the state of democracy in the United States. We find that the mere perception of redistricting being done in a partisan manner leads to decreased levels of system support. Further-more, our models show that independent redistricting commissions tend to reduce the perceived prevalence of gerrymandering and boost citizens' evaluations of the democratic process.
