"And why does it mention the right within the context of a "well regulated militia"?"

It doesn't, anymore than the freedom of speech is only in the context of one of the other rights mentioned in the 1st amendment.

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Bloomberg article is terrible. Why is HUD moving?

From foxnews: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hud-becomes-first-major-cab...

"The Robert C. Weaver Building is a vacant and run-down monument to waste with half a billion dollars in overdue maintenance," Ernst said, calling it a "cross between a ghost town and a horror show."

Investments to-date in the Weaver building totaled $90 million over the past 15 years, including plaza, roof and façade repairs.

Mold and asbestos containment have plagued the building, which also has only about half of its elevators in working operation.

I live in NOVA. The economies around here are addicted to government spending. As a federal taxpayer I think they should move many federal agencies to other states. USDA to KC was a start. Agriculture to Iowa, DOEnergy to Texas, NASA to Florida, Interior to Colorado for starters

The DC area doesn't have a right to these overpaid jobs.

How hard would it be for them(company) to use the Signal app for 2FA?

On March 25, CIA Director John Ratcliffe told the Senate Intelligence Committee that when he became director, he was given a phone with Signal pre-loaded. He was briefed that Signal was “permissible” for work use, and “That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration.”

Does anyone think Deepseek or other non-western AIs will respect copyright?

This is going to make Deepseek and its kin much more valuable.

Good. Hand the Uber part of the mission to SpaceX

It will get done in half the time at half the price.

Fake news. They are asking people who work on the National Security Council.

This isn't happening government wide.

Why couldn't the Biden admin say this?

You can't reform a system that is broken by design. The teachers' unions have WAY too much power. More power than parents, which is wrong and corrupts the system. You can see this by comparing money and test scores over the past few decades. More money today and worse results.

Kids/parents should have a choice. Just like we have choices on android or iphone and Purdue or Ohio State. Why should it be different with the k-12 education? If some are religious, so what? Parents can send their kids to a non-religious or trade school or a STEM school.

Parents should have more choice than bureaucrats.

Why the FCC as opposed to CISA?

Does it apply to the FBI, NSA and CIA?

He who pays the piper calls the tune. The taxpayer is paying for the food and the healthcare consequences. So yeah, sugar water should be banned. As should all junk food. If you want to eat something sweet buy an apple.

Pay for it yourself if you don't like it.

Another government boondoggle. The vehicle requirements were at the level of a combat vehicle so only one or two companies with DOD experience could win the contract.

And the result is a $60k+ camel designed by committee.

"The size of a small city, it is the largest, most secret, most powerful, and most intrusive spy organization ever created."

Is it more intrusive than the KGB, Stasi or Chinese state security? Cite your source.

BTW, this story is from 2 months ago.

Congress are the elected bureaucrats Agency folks are unelected bureaucrats

The purpose of Congress is to make these kinds of decisions. They pass the buck so they don't have a voting record that an election opponent can use against them.

They need to do their job.

Lehto's Law discussed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntxd2jsszi0&pp=ygULbGVodG8nc...

The builder didn't help himself by suing everyone before trying to work it out.

Money sniffing dogs? They train dogs to sniff for plants, food and drugs. Cash in baggage should be easy?

Implement something similar to that used to sort out green tomatoes

The Atlantic council is holding Trudeau's strings?

The banning of TicTok is a first step. The government and elites don't like NOT having the monopoly on persuasion. Telegram, Signal and X will follow.

The lawyers in the NYPD that signed off on the subpoena should face ethics charges. There seems to be no gray area here on multiple levels. The NYPD knew it wasn't a valid subpoena and they told X not to inform the account holder.

And then there’s the fact that the employment gains for October and November were both revised downward in the latest report. "The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for October was revised down by 45,000, from +150,000 to +105,000, and the change for November was revised down by 26,000, from +199,000 to +173,000. With these revisions, employment in October and November combined is 71,000 lower than previously reported."

Zero Hedge https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/inside-catastrophic-jobs-r... points out that this trend is deeply concerning because the job gains for 10 of the last 11 months of 2023 have all been revised downward. “Why? So that the White House can take credit for a strong number (one which also sparks algorithmic buying in the market) only to quietly revise it lower one and two months later when nobody is looking."

But here’s where things look really bad. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t09.htm According to the BLS, the number of full-time workers went from 134,727,000 in November to 133,196,000 in December. That’s a whopping 1.531 million decline.

There’s another dirty secret lingering in the data.

Next we turn to the numbers behind the headline job prints which were rather terrible: the monthly nonfarm payrolls (from the Establishment Survey) may have been weak at 216K but the far more accurate Household Survey showed that the number of Employed workers actually collapsed by an unprecedented 683K, the biggest drop since the US economy was shutdown by covid!

"In short: December was a catastrophic month for the jobs market, which is why we expect the usual theater: non-stop spin and lies from the Biden admin, and not a single relevant question from the liberal media whose job is not to educate or inform, but to carry water, spread lies and enable propaganda,” observes Zero Hedge.

Doxxing from a government employee should get him life. If they can do it to Trump they can do it to you and me.

And how do you know it hasn't been modified?

Now do elected leaders in Washington.

Would the question be asked if the company were not Musk owned?

Afford what kind of home? Too many people want far more than they need or can afford. Giving up the beach vacation and the latest iphone would help.

Robot makers and overseas workers are all in supporting this strike.

No warrant? And government folks wonder why they're not trusted.

And how many of these government data purchasers' next job is with these data brokers?

“It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well. So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home.”

Plus: “The official noted that hospitals have not been overburdened by Omicron patients and that the new strain is not been detected in vaccinated persons.”
