Rep. Jeffries speaks eloquently when discussing policy and addressing the press, but he stammers and distracts when asked direct questions about Abolish ICE and cutting ties with AIPAC.

Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently couldn’t “understand” me when I asked him why our taxpayer dollars should continue funding a masked, armed, lawless Gestapo that murders Americans and terrorizes our cities.

I was speaking English, and my microphone wasn’t muted.

According to a protected disclosure filed with the Office of Special Counsel, Borges told the Government Accountability Project that DOGE officials working at Social Security created a “live copy” of the country’s Social Security records in a separate cloud environment that sidestepped usual security checks.

The group says those lapses put the Social Security information of more than 300 million Americans at risk.

Security researchers have discovered more than 300 Chrome extensions that leak browser data, spy on their users, or outright steal users’ data.

Research focused on the analysis of network traffic generated by Chrome extensions has uncovered 287 applications transmitting the user’s browsing history or search engine results pages (SERP).

Some of them, security researcher Q Continuum explains, would essentially expose the data to unsecured networks, while others would send it to collection servers, either due to intended functionality, for monetization purposes, or with malicious intent.

The extensions have over 37.4 million users, the researcher says. Of these, roughly 27.2 million users installed 153 extensions that were confirmed to leak browser history upon installation.

The middle schooler had been begging to opt out, citing headaches from the Chromebook screen and a dislike of the AI chatbot recently integrated into it.

Parents across the country are taking steps to stop their children from using school-issued Chromebooks and iPads, citing concerns about distractions and access to inappropriate content that they fear hampers their kids’ education.

LONDON — Two of the world’s biggest trading blocs are cautiously eyeing closer ties to short-circuit Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The European Union and a 12-nation Indo-Pacific bloc are opening talks to explore proposals to form one of the largest global economic alliances, multiple people with knowledge of the talks told POLITICO.

Canada is spearheading the discussions after Prime Minister Mark Carney called on middle powers to buck trade war coercion last month, days after Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Denmark’s European allies if it didn’t cede Greenland.

Ottawa is “championing efforts to build a bridge between the Trans-Pacific Partnership [CPTPP] and the European Union, which would create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people,” Carney told world leaders and the global business elite in Davos.

My wife looked through our bank statements and found out. The kids are crying, wife is trying to finalise divorce proceedings by the end of the month, and my brother keeps asking about the money he gave me for a "safe investment".

Matt Duss is a massive Zionist who supports the genocide in Palestine. Convenient for the foreign policy role.

Inspired by a comment in another thread, what was the path you took over your life, through the various online social media we've had?

By way of example, I started in Yahoo chatrooms, to a little bit of Myspace and private forums, to ICQ and IRC, to no online socials for awhile, to facebook, to 4chan, to reddit, ending up here on lemmy.

I've never used twitter, insta, tiktok, etc for any length of time.

If you'd like, your native language and a rough estimate of your age can be included for additional context.

I'm just surprised this hasn't already happened already...

US Demoract Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated during a panel at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that unconditional American military aid to ‘Israel’ has enabled a genocide in Gaza.

Speaking on the future of foreign policy, she argued that such aid contributed to the avoidable deaths of thousands of women and children amid the ongoing ‘Israeli’ assault on Gaza.

In her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez invoked the Leahy laws, US statutes that prohibit military assistance to foreign entities implicated in gross human rights violations without accountability.

She contended that providing aid without conditions "does not make sense" and directly facilitated the genocide, linking it to civilian casualties in Gaza.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has backed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's leadership during a visit to Budapest. Nationalist leader Orban faces a strong opposition challenge ahead of elections in April.

Rubio endorsed Orban's efforts to secure a fifth consecutive term despite lagging in the polls, praising his rapport with the US leader.

Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar launched his party's election campaign in Budapest on Sunday, promising to restore Hungary's Western orientation amid concerns about democratic backsliding.

A former insider in Orban's nationalist Fidesz party, Magyar broke with former colleagues to quickly form the center-right Tisza party. Independent polls show he holds a significant lead ahead of the vote on April 12.

Rock structure which served as backdrop to countless proposals disappears into the Adriatic after storm

The famous arch of the sea stacks at Sant’Andrea in Melendugno, Puglia, Italy, popularly known as Lovers’ Arch, collapsed on Valentine’s Day after strong storm surges and heavy rain swept across southern Italy.

The rocky arch, one of the best-known natural landmarks on the Adriatic coast, got its name as it served as a backdrop for wedding proposals, selfies and postcards, and was one of the most recognisable symbols of the Salento, one of Italy’s most heavily visited tourist areas.

“It is a devastating blow to the heart,” said Melendugno’s mayor, Maurizio Cisternino. “One of the most famous tourist features of our coastline and of the whole of Italy has disappeared.”
