Ok, maybe I should not have laughed at the mosquito killing laser blinding tech MAGA will buy, but holy shit! 🤣🤣🤣🙈 Is there hope for humanity?

As long as we breathe we have hope.

Are we so lazy that we need AI heat lasers to do the job a pair of hands can do? Seriously! And it’s the perfect excuse to slap people while saying “Mosquito!”. 😜Won’t be long until someone repurposes it for something terrible…

Happy Halloween Ringo and Stevie!🎃

"Consider the irony. This is the same department demanding more and more of YOUR personal information. Voter records. Biometrics. All while expecting Americans to trust it with their data. Yet, DHS can’t even account for how sensitive information about tens of thousands of its own people ended up online."

Olivia, see what happens when you downsize cybersecurity to augment DHS immigration AND hire a landscaper Fuget (aka Kevin Arnold from the Wonder Years) to run things

Kudos on your El Paso coverage this week! It looks like a beautiful place. As a fan of Mexican food, your talk with Jim A made my mouth water!

Keep up the great work

Thanks, Olivia: It looks like Stevie and Ringo are ready to go trick-or-treating. The AI Mosquito Death Ray causes me some concern. If it gets in the wrong hands, anything could happen. All I can add is: get out there and VOTE. VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY. VOTE GINA HINOJOSA FOR GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, VOTE JAMES TALARICO FOR THE SENATE. Let's get a massive turnout, Texas.

This is the first piece of reporting that has actually gone into the implications of the DHS personnel data leak. Good work there, Troye! Thank you!

I look forward to these every week. Your doggies are absolutely adorable. I wish I could doggysit them!!! Enjoyable peace and some (more) ridiculous federal nonsense that you are in a particularly good position to note and convey. Keep up the good work, chica. ☕️ Mas cafe con asucar, por favor. 😘✊🏽💙
