Assistive tech can empower — but only if it protects users' privacy. When design overlooks sensitive health or disability data, disabled users pay the price. CDT’s Ariana Aboulafia and intern Achi Mishra outline how to center privacy in inclusive innovation in this report: cdt.org/insights/inc...

Your regular reminder that Pam Bondi only has this job because she takes bribes.
Literally any other attorney general before Bondi would have fought tooth and nail and then resigned over this alone. Letting White House staff take over making public statements in the name of DOJ is in and of itself completely insane.
Sounds legit

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.
Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant
“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

When Trump came back to office, Putin studied psychological profiles of his circle and decided he wanted to deal with Witkoff not Kellogg. A year later, Kellogg is out and Witkoff, who Trump says "knew nothing" about Russia, has been to Russia six times. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

This smells like outright collusion with Russia to me. Trump shrugs it off as what a dealmaker does: sell the plan to Ukraine, sell the plan to Russia. He says “we must end this war” and thinks he deserves the Nobel Prize??? Not if it's at the cost of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
