- Millions in media and tech settlements
- Gold bars and diamond rings for tariff relief
- BILLIONS in Pentagon contracts for his sons
- $100,000 per month per person for insider info

I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.

In my decades of public service, I have rarely been as angry as I was the day the damning inspector general’s report was released about the EPA's response to the World Trade Center collapse.
One of the most important lessons from 9/11 is that our leaders need to level with people and then follow through with actual results.

Since October 7th, Israeli soldiers and civilians have killed 1,000+ Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, 241 of them children.
Israeli settlers have burned homes and businesses with the Israeli government’s backing.
Don't believe me? Hear it from a former Israeli soldier.

FreeBSD 14.5-RC1 is now available: lists.freebsd.org/archives/f…
This being a release candidate, by definition this might be what ships as 14.5-RELEASE next week. If there are any critical issues which should block the release, you have approximately 96 hours to find and report them.

My DNS updates pass through NFS, S3 Files, S3, EventBridge, EventBridge again in a different account, Lambda, SQS, Lambda again, and finally Route 53. Along the way, STS and DynamoDB are also implicated. Rube Goldberg would be proud.

Donald Trump can rename lakes, gulfs, and anything else he wants, but he can never change the fact that his name appears 38,000 times in the Epstein files.
