Summary

A vulnerability in the new OPM email server allowed anyone to send mass messages to federal employees, exposing poor cybersecurity.

Over 13,000 NOAA staff received spam and vulgar messages, including crude jokes about Trump and bizarre newsletters, causing widespread outrage.

The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.

The unsecured system also inadvertently revealed ties to Project 2025 and a plan to gather government employee data as Trump’s loyalists reshape federal operations.

      Do you care who the Russian soldier in Ukraine voted for?

      America is a monolith. This is what it chose to be. You can’t expect the rest of the world to act as nations yet only consider some of the population when one of them attacks.

      On the world stage where economies are tanked and people die - this is Americas choice. Your sports team politics is an internal problem that we all have to suffer.
