How can anyone expect a career politician who’s only passed one bill to actually drive change? As a friend of mine puts it best: It’s like expecting your coasting EM to fix your XFN collab. Does your EM keep saying, 'How can I support you?' Yes. Do they actually unblock you? No.

Cole, a close friend I personally worked with before, is one of the smartest, hardest-working and most ethical individual I know. He voluntarily left his highly paid position at Jump Trading to join DOGE and I’m willing to bet every dollar that he will have a positive impact to the U.S Gov.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission. The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system(). It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.

This might be the best executed supply chain attack we've seen described in the open, and it's a nightmare scenario: malicious, competent, authorized upstream in a widely used library. Looks like this got caught by chance. Wonder how long it would have taken otherwise.
