"Tpublican" is short for "trans-publican"

When they changed their motto from “don’t be evil,” the canary like straight up died. It had been dead a while, or we thought, but like by then the coroner had come around checked, recorded a time of death, then put that bitch in a shoe box and handed it to us.

And I realized. Holy shit I just need to install VLC and people will stop installing this weird stuff. Because at that point for some reason I ran the antivirus for the entire firm. You have no idea. You just don't. It was all fake media players. If you wanna learn what users want run the antivirus.

I think the real story here is more likely that part of the DHS is acting without a chief security officer, which is suspicious as hell.

If you click through to the DHS page linked in tgs article, she's listed as "acting" officer:
"Chief Security Officer (acting), Iwona B. Horyn"

I think he means the left...?
