Cambridge Analytica involved in the Brexit referendum, lobbying efforts in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign power, & breach of data-protection law by pro-Brexit/Trump campaigners.

Banks also ‘joked’ about being a “full agent” of the RU state a couple of weeks after Trump was elected president.

Farage may have been used as a conduit between the WH and WikiLeaks, which the CIA has described as a “hostile intelligence service” aided by Russia.

Fredrick Brown of Las Vegas, a former US Army civilian Medical Records Administrator, pleaded guilty for his role in an identity theft & fraud scheme that targeted US Military members and Veterans.
He stole personal identifying information from July 2014 to September 2015 from thousands of Veterans and military members, including social security numbers, DoD IDs, contact info, birth dates, etc.

He then gave that stolen data to his co-conspirator Robert Wayne Boling Jr.
Boling and other members of the conspiracy (incl. some in the Phillipines and South Korea) then used that stolen info to access Dept of Defense and #Veterans Affairs benefits websites to steal $ Millions of dollars.

We share the @Surgeon_General's concerns about keeping adolescents & pregnant people safe & healthy. However, we are concerned that his presentation didn’t clearly depict the latest trends because rates of marijuana use among these groups have remained stable or decreased. THREAD
The 2018 Monitoring the Future survey suggests that #marijuana use among 8th, 10th, & 12th graders remains low & stable “despite the changing state marijuana laws during this time period."
According to @SAMHSAgov’s 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health released last week, marijuana use among adolescents aged 12-17 has remained low & stable since 2015. Use among adults 18-25 years old stayed stable in 2017 & 2018. Only increases were among adults aged 26+.
