Microsoft's latest warning has set off a familiar response from security-minded critics: Why is Big Tech so intent on pushing new features before their dangerous behaviors can be fully understood and contained?

Obvs can’t speak for everybody but as for me and the people I interact with…

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.
She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

MTG helped light this fire and now she's backing away from the smoke. she must feel the stench of jail time in the air.

She won’t have the protection of the Repugnant machine so I don’t see her running for anything. Book + pundit gigs is what I see, plus maybe some kind of half-hearted play for some Independent/3rd party attention.
Alright, everybody cast your Marjorie Taylor Greene predictions here. We will refer to this post on February 1, 2026.

Damn whoever said she wrote a 4 page letter wasn’t lying. What in the bleach blonde is going on here?
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she is resigning from Congress effective January 5. She released a 10-minute video statement on X along with this official statement. Crazy times.
