One DOGE bro with a thumb drive stole the personal information of every living and dead person in the Social Security Administration Masterfiles. It’s easily the Largest Data Breach in American History. Bro accidentally demonstrated peak government efficiency. 10/10.

Worker surveillance in the NFL. “What I didn’t know is that the coaches have the ability to see our iPad usage and how much film we were watching outside the building.”
Matt Schneidman@mattschneidman
Unreal story from Eddie Lacy on tonight’s show about how he learned Mike McCarthy could track his iPad film time at home and what James Starks told him to do after. Eddie was awesome the whole time, but this one is hilarious. Enjoy.

🧵Ok I'm someone who has followed the @RealPage price fixing conspiracy in the rental market closely, but this weekend I read the full @TheJusticeDept complaint and my jaw hit the floor. This was flagrant, far reaching and deliberate. Let's dig in. 1/7 justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
