My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

npr.orgA whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor dataA whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

The right is burning books, erasing trans people, and criminalizing dissent, and the pundits who spent years laundering their ideology want to pretend they had no role in it. But their reckoning is due. www.theindex.media/the-pundit-c...

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

Francisco García Casique left Venezuela in 2017 and worked as a barber in Peru until 2023, when he came to the US via the Darién Gap. No gang ties, but he had a tattoo. ICE noticed. Now he's in El Salvador's dungeons. “We zoomed in and we could recognize him. A mother's instinct never fails."

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang. One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

Family members of Venezuelan migrants who suspect their loved ones were sent to El Salvador as part of a rapid US deportation operation over the weekend are struggling to get more information as a legal battle plays out. @kristinacooke.bsky.social and Sarah Kinosian www.reuters.com/world/americ...

The men sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison: - A tattoo artist seeking asylum who entered legally. - A teen who got a tattoo in Dallas because he thought it looked cool. - A 26-year-old whose tattoos his wife says are unrelated to a gang. - A barber whose family says he has no gang ties.

AND NOW THERE's MORE: The Washington Post's story includes three more cases of people sent to El Salvador whose families swear they have no criminal record and no connection to gangs. The common theme again seems to be having any tattoos. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

NEW today from @miamiherald.com: more men sent to El Salvador on Saturday have been identified by their families, including a 27-year-old who entered legally at a port of entry in 2023 through the CBP One app and a 29-year-old father of a baby born here last year. Neither have any criminal record.

New side project alert 🚨 Decided to give Remix a try by building a Shopify app (not my first Shopify app, just the remix part). So far so good! Remix is a very opinionated framework to say the least but as you work with it i think is becomes clear why the creators decided to go the route they did

wife woke up this morning & first thing she said is “go to costco & buy gold” followed by “we need more guns” She use to think i was crazy when i told her what we were heading towards. it’s a very bittersweet i told you so because i really wish i was wrong & just crazy

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

it’s gonna be funny when all these tech influencers in the US realize acting like everything is “fine” online and “staying away from politics” actually didn’t do shit for them in the long run.
