@mattblaze All the officers in that chain of command know the law. They know that was illegal.

1/ Holy cow: TRUMP LEAKED THIS MORNING'S PAYROLL NUMBERS.

At 8:20pm last night he posted a photo of a briefing he received from his CEA. It reveals market-moving numbers that were officially released at 8:30am this morning.

(Note: CEA receives the data—confidentially—on Thursday evening.)

2/ It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist.

I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more.

But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this

@generalx https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#suspend-user Does look like it, partly @GossiTheDog @greg

Steve Herman (was @w7voa@journo.host) recently moved to flipboard.social and was quickly suspended from his account. Ridiculous. Move back to journo.host

Couple items from bsky (I've not verified):

1. "So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions"
2. This screenshot

Considering the massive amount of redaction on the Epstein files, not to mention those files that were not in the released tranche, you have to realize that many, many FBI personnel have seen many, many unredacted files implicating many rich men in crimes such as child rape and sex trafficking. Without a doubt many FBI personnel have seen extensive evidence of many crimes committed by Trump. This will come out. It's just a matter of when. It will come out.

Slop is Merriam-Webster's 2025 Word of the Year https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/word-of-the-year

@Remittancegirl I assume many of us in the U.S. #natsec community have understood this since the election a year ago. It's over. With the finality of being hit by a train, it was over at that moment. No allied nation should have continued sharing intelligence, I said so at the time. A MAGA America at the least can't be trusted, and at worst is an outright enemy of everything and everyone the country once stood for. It's sad that Congress members and others are so deluded as to think things might magically go back to "normal" when Trump is gone. Because what we proved is that it's not just Trump. It's Americans who are so depraved to have made this happen, it's their character at issue. No of course no one will trust America again. Because they're not stupid.

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-08/fda-slow-walking-a-long-awaited-abortion-pill-safety-study

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.

Putin totally played the US, knowing full well he was up against incompetents and idiots.

So, the question is, did Trump know it was a Russian wishlist when he was pushing Ukraine to accept it by Thanksgiving? Or does he know absolutely nothing about anything going on in the entire administration and just spouts whatever nonsense people tell him?

I was just reading that Moderna just presented a paper at an Intl Soc. for Vaccines conference on a new mRNA vaccine that is in phase 2 trials which has broad effectiveness against orthopoxviruses - those are the causative agents of smallpox, cowpox, mpox, and a bunch of other viruses. This is HUGE.

Meanwhile RFKJr. and his anti-science squad has spread a ton of disinformation about mRNA (and other) vaccines and has ended U.S. govt funding for the technology. This is what we get from republicans, lies and death. #science #virology #vaccines #mRNA

What in the world did Trump mean by resuming nuclear testing? We already do operational testing of strategic delivery systems (e.g., Minuteman III "Glory Trips" launched over the Pacific to the Kwajalein Atoll testing area). If he meant blowing up warheads when other countries do, well no other countries are doing that currently. It might be that he was confused about a Russian test of a nuclear *powered* missile. He's certainly stupid enough (never mind the nuclear powered missile could potentially carry a nuclear warhead, Russia didn't blow up a warhead). The War Zone asked some experts. #military #DOD #nuclear https://www.twz.com/nuclear/experts-explain-how-reviving-nuclear-weapons-tests-would-actually-happen

"In a worst-case scenario, she said, “the president could declare a state of emergency and say that elections are rigged and use allegations of voter fraud to seize the ballots of secure voting centers”.

Uh, I hate to tell you but the worst case scenario is almost certainly the plan. You don't bulldoze the people's house if you ever think you'll be handing it over to the competition. You don't repeatedly murder people in boats in international or other countries' waters if you think there's a chance you'll ever face the law. You don't build a gigantic secret police goon squad of criminals who spend their days attacking regular people going about their business if you think they're loyal to anything but you personally. You don't [list continues ad infinitum]

The discovery of the signal happened purely by chance.

Tilley regularly monitors satellites from his home in British Columbia as a hobby. He was working on another project when he accidentally triggered a scan of radio frequencies that are normally quiet.

"It was just a clumsy move at the keyboard," he said. "I was resetting some stuff and then all of a sudden I'm looking at the wrong antenna, the wrong band." #military #DOD #NSA #USSPACECOM

There goes 10 years of black budget to a hobbyist accident 😂 https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5575254/spacex-starshield-starlink-signal
