Nearly three years ago, the longtime senior intelligence analyst left the Navy, after being recruited by the nation’s top cyber defense agency and rising up through the ranks. Eventually, Shaw helped establish a congressionally mandated program designed to continuously monitor and detect cyber breaches of the nation’s power grid, pipelines and water system – installing sensors across critical infrastructure designed to detect insider threats and foreign adversaries like China, Russia and Iran.
US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back the federally-funded news organisation Voice of America, accusing it of being “anti-Trump” and “radical”.
A White House statement said the order would “ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook for radical propaganda”, and included quotes from politicians and right-wing media railing against the “leftist”, “partisan” VOA.
According to an email obtained by Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, “ALL requests for everything,” for the pups, including “vet visits, kenneling, dog food, etc” have been “put on hold until we receive guidance.”
Ironically, that’s despite the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day” on Thursday, yet another glaring instance of the Trump administration not putting its money where its mouth is.
A taskforce which helped find hundreds of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia has been scrapped by Elon Musk’s Doge.
The Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL), which was based at Yale University is the latest organisation to fall victim to the tech billionaire’s evisceration of the federal budget.
It is estimated that more than 20,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by the Russians since the 2022 invasion.
“Researchers at the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) were notified recently that government funding for their work on the war in Ukraine has been discontinued,” a Yale spokesman said.
As The Atlantic reports, research into the effects of sustained ketamine use may offer some insights into the increasingly bizarre antics of the South African-born gem mining scion who’s admitted to using the drug to treat depression — and who’s allegedly indulged in it for recreational purposes, too.
Delusions of grandeur are not, obviously, the sole provenance of ketamine users, and there’s little doubt Musk had an outsized opinion of himself long before he discovered “Special K.” But his behavior in recent years has grown more and more erratic, especially in the since his purchase of Twitter, in ways that seem to track with those descriptions of frequent ketamine use side effects.
