My law firm is currently intervening to defend against this in the first 8 lawsuits DOJ filed. More soon.
"The danger is once you compile all this information, then hackers only have to go to one place instead of going to all 50-plus jurisdictions that run elections... It’s a hacker’s dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere..."

Check out this beautiful C3.8 flare and filament CME from AR 4288 earlier today. The figure-8 shape is really beautiful. I added an Earth for scale so you can see how large these eruptions truly are. The Sun is beautiful.

Tim Cook, of Apple, is at this dinner.
The likes of Musk and Schwarzman—sure, that's who they are.
But Cook has been groveling more than strictly necessary.

Honest question, Can some explain what concessions the democrats were ever going to extract in this fight. Sure they caved, but what other outcome could there have been ?

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.
