I have been sounding the alarm for months about the risks of trusting untested technology with our votes. Unfortunately I keep being proven right. Unless lawmakers wake up to the realities, we will pay the price with the security of our elections.
I tried to warn the DNC about the vulnerabilities of its mobile voting app before Iowa. That app failed spectacularly.
In November, I warned officials about Voatz, which according to a study released by MIT just this week, has vulnerabilities that could let hackers alter votes entirely. nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
Bottom line: experts and lawmakers should be paying attention to the warnings that myself and many others are raising about this technology. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

In light of recent events, I’m calling on @OregonSOS to warn Oregon counties about the severe risks posed by mobile voting apps. This week, Americans saw firsthand the consequences of relying on untested voting technology.
Apps like Voatz pose an additional threat to service-members overseas. Troops serving our country deserve to know that their votes are secure. States shouldn't be putting votes at risk until there's a full federal audit of apps like Voatz and their potential vulnerabilities.
States have no business putting the fate of our democracy in the hands of technology that hasn't been proven to be secure or effective. Americans' votes shouldn't be treated like guinea pigs in the search for new and more efficient ways of voting. Full stop.

If you want to see what Donald Trump would do with four more years, look back at his record of ignoring the problems typical families face over the last three. #SOTU
Trump’s key legislative accomplishment is a tax handout for multinational corporations, special interests and the wealthy, and he expects working families to praise him for it. #SOTU
With another term, he’ll send those working families and seniors the bill for his $2 trillion tax giveaway and claw back their hard earned health care and Social Security benefits. #SOTU

NEWS: I just received a shocking declassified FBI memo confirming that the Saudi government has been helping fugitives flee the U.S. justice system after being accused or convicted of violent crimes.
I have been calling for the declassification of this information for months. This memo comes after my bill to require the release of this information became law in December.
I am shocked and appalled at what this memo describes. The Trump administration is out of excuses for sitting on its hands while the Saudi government helps these fugitives evade justice. It’s time for Donald Trump to hold the Saudi government accountable

Just like that, Baekhyun has been guesting in Sehun's videos. That's when their friendship became closer and Sehun's feelings were getting stronger. Their chemistry in front of the camera made the viewers curious if they are actually together.
"Sehun and I are very good friends." Baekhyun says. Sehun gained Baekhyun's trust and brought out the clinginess in Baekhyun. Baekhyun was afraid to show affection to someone, but he just felt lighter when he was with Sehun.
"One of my best friends... about dating, I am still mending a heartbreak."

That was the last question for today. The cameras were now off. Sehun pulled Baekhyun's swivel chair closer to him.

Right wing extremists: Breivik’s success was always destined to cast a long shadow, and its implications are now becoming depressingly clear. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… via @intelwire @TheAtlantic
The most recent manifestation came last week, with news that U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Christopher Hasson was charged with planning a mass-casualty attack modeled in significant part on Breivik’s strategy, and bearing the marks of his belief system.
Hasson was influenced by others, to be sure, including American neo-Nazi author Harold Covington and (as evidenced in his Google searches) the [current] president of the United States, but Breivik appears to be the guiding force that shaped his specific plans.

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)
