This is a pretty big shift in U.S. cyber policy.

The White House is setting up a program that would let private cybersecurity companies conduct government-authorized operations against foreign cybercriminal groups, including surveillance and disruption of their infrastructure.

Not exactly “hack back,” but definitely a major expansion of the private sector’s role in offensive cyber operations.

There is more to come.
Get ready for big revelations.
Don't expect media coverage.
Tell your family and friends.

It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with.

The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

🚨 A federal judge ruled that "tower dump" warrants, which allow police to obtain records for every cellphone that connected to nearby cell towers around a crime scene, are per se unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment as general warrants.

Thanks to @SeamusHughes for fighting to unseal these records.

This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades.

ODNI tweaked its website again, including its FOIA page. Visitors are now greeted with:

"The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a law that gives you, the American people, the right to access information from the federal government."

Just a reminder that ODNI also scrubbed decades of docs from it's FOIA page

The story of America cannot be told without the American West.

@SecretaryBurgum has designated July 23 as the Day of the American West, honoring the cowboys, Native American peoples, cultures and traditions that helped shape our nation and the enduring spirit of the West.

The West helped shape America. Let's celebrate its story.

“I was chasing the American Dream and it turned out to be an American nightmare”: Howie Gelfand said the real story behind “The Wolf of Wall Street” would blow people away — and that true story is now featured in a new documentary, “The Real Wolf of Wall Street,” streaming on @paramountplus.

Gelfand shares why he felt like the movie based on Jordan Belfort’s rise and fall was like “watching ‘The Wizard of Oz’” and how he feels now about the infamous stockbroker now: “A top-shelf con artist.”
