Amazon’s global electric delivery fleet has crossed 50,000 vans, delivering more than 2.4 billion packages with zero exhaust emissions in 2024, halfway to its 100,000-vehicle target by 2030.

AWS IAM Security Best Practices in 2026: A Complete Guide

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the backbone of access control in AWS. It answers two fundamental questions: who can access your cloud environment (developers, SREs, CI/CD pipelines, third-party services), and what they can do once inside (read an S3 bucket, invoke a Lambda function, spin up an EC2 instance).

Continuous, real-time risk management - That means least-privilege IAM, MFA for everything that matters, customer-managed KMS keys, VPC isolation, and CloudTrail locked down.

This is encouraging.
Solar generated more US electricity than coal for the first month on record in May 2026, according to new analysis from global energy think tank Ember. Solar supplied 12.8% of US electricity during the month, while coal dropped to 12.2%.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect.

Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings.

Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

After an anonymous Grand Jury of American citizens refused to indict us, @SpeakerJohnson still believes we should be.

My response:

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. @CoryBooker to Trump's openly white nationalist nominee:

"It sounds like you have a racial hierarchy. This is the United States of America, we are one nation under God. You do not respect me, you say holidays like Juneteenth are racial hustles. I have never seen such a blatantly racist individual."

[James Claussen @jimclaussen]

Like Iran, Trump's DHS steps further toward a surveillance state of restricted free speech, open debate, and independent thinking.

From a European perspective, this is genuinely embarrassing.

A Team USA athlete, Hunter Hess, has apparently criticised the United States while abroad, and the response being celebrated in the headline is not a calm rebuttal or a dignified clarification, but a president publicly going after him in a punishing, performative way. Even the wording, “eviscerates”, signals the point is humiliation, not leadership. It frames the country like a reality show where loyalty tests and public shaming are treated as governance.

You would have to search far and wide to find a country that manages to look this ugly in its politics and public behaviour, and a president who so perfectly mirrors it. In most democracies, a leader would rise above it, defend the country’s values without acting personally wounded, and avoid turning a citizen into a national punching bag. This is not strength and the MAGA regime drags the entire country’s reputation down. AGAIN!!

It reads like third world level political theatre

Another Trump supporter tries to start funk with peaceful protesting kids… then realizes he doesn’t want the smoke.

To the office of @SherrodBrown besides funding support, how can we help you? write letters? social outreach?

Respect for @SenThomTillis standing up. Republican Senators, this is your opportunity to speak what you know is right.

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis on Trump’s call to nationalize elections.

“Actually, it has its roots with Stephen Miller..He’s probably focused too much on his Duke education, and should go back to third grade math. My granddaughter can figure out we don’t have the votes to get that done”

[James Claussen @jimclaussen]

Yes @SenatorSlotkin . We are all with you.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Today, I sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro informing them that I will not be sitting down with them for their inquiry over a 90-second video I filmed in November.

Here's why.

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

BREAKING: Look at these violent ANTIFA, thugs protesting against ICE…

Oops nevermind...

This is outside a hotel housing ICE agents in Minneapolis. 1600+ protesters sing in the streets calling for ICE agents to quit their immoral jobs.

Love this.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

[James Claussen @jimclaussen]

The administration arrested independent journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, along with two activists. These arrests are just an attempt to intimidate the press and shift public focus away from the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents. We need to stay focused and continue to protest and speak out to protest the bill of rights for all Americans. #IceOut #iceoutforgood
