The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

I did not have a Kennedy taking us out of the organization that helps monitor pandemics on my bingo card. Idiot.
We’ve been in WHO since 1948.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

So the same AI brought to us by Elon Musk and Sam Altman (no regulations please) is now used by White House comms (same maturity level as Dodge Big Balls). And we have the joy of sexualized images of women & children out there. Fun times.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

There’s an intensifying kind of threat to academic freedom – watchful students serving as informants
Restricting academic freedom is often thought of in terms of universities telling professors what they can and cannot do or teach. But that isn’t the only scenario.
