  8. Federal News Network: Congress ramps up scrutiny of Pentagon AI data center plans. “A provision that would bar the Defense Department from leasing its land to private companies to build data centers that contain components manufactured by U.S. adversaries is making its way through Congress. If enacted, the measure could complicate the department’s future modernization efforts.”

  13. RE: mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo

    Vladimir Putin called the collapse of the USSR: "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century."

    Putin hates the United States because our government helped to cause the collapse of the Soviet Union (USSR). Putin wants the United States to do self-destructive things including alienating Canada and other NATO nations. #PutinsPuppet Donald Trump makes self-destructive decisions including his many threats against Greenland and his abuse aimed at Canada.

  15. After Democrats in the Senate voted in a way that displeased him, Sen. John Thune said: "Do Democrats think that voting against our national defense and our nation’s military will gain them points with their base?”

    No.
    Democrats think that opposing the illegal and unacceptable #IranWar, as well as against a future war targeting Cuba, will gain them points with their base and with most of the American people:

  17. When Pres. Donald Trump acts to try to turn a reliable ally like Canada into an enemy, Trump is not acting in America’s best interest. Trump, Putin's Puppet, is acting in Putin's best interest. Putin does not want the United States to have allies. Trump helps Putin in this way.

  21. IC Brief Morning — 2026-07-24

    ODNI's workforce, halved since January 2025 with roughly 200 additional cuts since June 1, will likely fall below 900 by year-end while at least four of GAO's six remaining priority recommendations on personnel vetting remain unimplemented. Low confidence reflects reliance on anonymous congressional aides rather than agency-confirmed data. The contraction and the reform backlog reinforce each other: a shrinking workforce reduces capacity to implement process reforms, while unimplemented vetting reforms compound the risk profile of each personnel transition. A Cotton-driven oversight demand capping ODNI headcount or Clayton confirmation testimony naming a staffing floor would shift both trajectories.

    Congress is very likely to enact no statutory requirement governing AI integration into Section 702 or E.O. 12333 collection before year-end. Moderate confidence rests on the absence of any bill text targeting collection-side AI deployment; Warner's Secure AI Development Act addresses pre-deployment model testing but does not touch surveillance analytics. The 702 reauthorization vehicle is the sole plausible attachment point, and an amendment filing there would materially shift this assessment.

  22. Pentagon Chiefs Under Fire as Iran War Rationale Shifts

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced intense scrutiny from senators over his claims about the US war on Iran, struggling to provide clear answers about the strategy and impact of the conflict. Hegseth made assertions about the devastating effects of US strikes on Iran's military and infrastructure, but also made partial admissions about Tehran's…

  23. Iran Threatens UK Air Base After US Bombers Launch Strikes

    Iran has issued a stark warning to a UK air base, threatening it as a legitimate target if used to launch attacks on Iranian territory, after US bombers took off from the base to carry out strikes. The base, RAF Fairford in England, has also recently welcomed electronic warfare aircraft, heightening tensions.

  29. Yesterday, my husband and his colleagues in the Federal Civil Service were laid off for a new Trump program privatizing TSA - a return to the days before 9/11 while Trump bombs the Middle East.

    They held the line, working for America without pay for months. They kept us safe while eating from food banks and having their union gutted by Kristi Noem. They wrote weekly emails to Elon Musk and Big Balls justifying their jobs. Nobody got a $10k bonus - they just got fired.

    Trump, MAGA, and Russell Vought’s Project 2025 have terrorized, demoralized, and bankrupted Civil Servants who made America work for everyday people. Trump is dismantling the framework of our country so he can cut taxes for billionaires, fund a reckless and useless war, and put money in his pocket. He couldn’t care less about working people.

    Privatizing TSA does more than throw dedicated and trained patriots on the street. It jeopardizes national security by emphasizing profits over security, dividing loyalties, and creating a vulnerable patchwork of aviation safety. Trump doesn’t care. The private companies taking over are probably paying kickbacks to him and his children.

    Trump and MAGA devastated working Americans whether they’re farmers, teachers, nurses, small business owners, or Civil Servants. I knew this would happen - it’s all in the fascist manifesto Project 2025. Nobody around me listened until it was too late.

    Good luck, America. My husband and me were supposed to be looking ahead to retirement. Now we’re scrambling for survival. Trump and MAGA may not bury us, but they’re trying.
