Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

We would never ask for money.

Question: If Trump ordered an "investigation" into Bill Clinton, but DOJ is claiming they're holding back some of the documents because of open investigations, then why did they release Bill Clinton stuff?

blue states should create escrow accounts into which citizens pay their federal taxes but are withheld by the state until the federal government stops acting like its only obligated towards states that support the maga agenda
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

Only one person in today's Jeffrey Epstein photo dump is an adjudicated rapist who refused to give his DNA in that case and has over two dozen accusations of sexual assault including one from his first wife. It's also the same guy who bragged about sexual assault on a hot mic.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

"the combat decisions he has made"

Hegseth is setting up Admiral Bradley to take the blame for killing the survivors--which is just the tip of an immense iceberg of illegal acts.

U.S. military officials beware: Following orders is not a defense to murder or war crimes.

This from @paulsperry.bsky.social is a bald-faced lie and contains no element of truth. I never received a “leak” of “highly sensitive details about an active investigation” from @jamescomey.bsky.social—in a October 2016 or at any other time, on Google or on any other platform. He links to nothing

The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
