I was proud to partner with @SenBlumenthal today for a call with President Zelenskyy to hear firsthand about the challenges Ukraine faces on the battlefield. His message remains clear: Ukraine wants peace. Degrading Ukraine’s satellite communications, weakening its air defenses and easing sanctions against Russia only embolden Putin and prolong this war.
@ZelenskyyUa confirmed ongoing Starlink disruptions, reported interruptions to critical U.S. intelligence sharing and raised concerns about delays in air defense interceptors. He also reiterated his willingness to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities if Putin agrees to do the same.
Congress has overwhelmingly supported tough sanctions against those enabling Putin’s war. We remain committed to standing with Ukraine and our European allies to end Russia’s brutal aggression and secure lasting peace.

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us.
Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public.
Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

60 Minutes:
"It's a kind of interference Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, a Republican in a deeply red state, said she's never seen before.
'In the past two elections that I oversaw as lieutenant governor, the threats were all external: non-state actors, cyber security threats and other things,' she said. 'But now we also have threats coming from within our own government.'"
Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson denied a Justice Department request for Utah’s voter registration list, which includes voters’ confidential personal information. She says she had never seen a request like it before. cbsn.ws/4sbNtLq

Translation: The President shows he’s being duped by Putin and doesn’t know who is at fault in this war. He denies what other members of his own Administration are saying about Russian aid to Iran. This will go down as a very embarrassing chapter in U.S. history.

Your car is spying on you to build a case against future insurance claims and to raise your current premiums.
One man was denied insurance for a fire that destroyed his car because he had driven over 85 mph at some point weeks, months, and even years before the fire happened.
A privacy report revealed that many cars collect information on s3xual activity, immigration status, race, facial expressions, weight, health, genetic information, and driving locations - and that they sell this information to third parties.
Nissan states it can share and sell our preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence abilities, and aptitudes to others.
A Mozilla representative concluded: "All new cars today are privacy nightmares on wheels that collect huge amounts of personal information."

the gilded optics of him with all the kleptocrats are so bad for him. he could not look more corrupt and out of touch if he tried.
.@realDonaldTrump holds a MAGA Inc. dinner at Mar-a-Lago. I asked him about Republican criticism of his decision to waive sanctions on Russia and he said this: “It’s a very good decision. And it’s going to be a decision that’s good for the country and I think good for the world.”

MapQuest now shows you Flock and other license plate reader cameras on your route
-----
MapQuest, the original software to find your way from point A to point B, is taking on the surveillance state.
The free mapping service unveiled a new feature in its mobile app on Thursday that lets users turn on a "surveillance layer" to locate known automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, along their route.
MapQuest says the app can identify cameras developed by Flock Safety, Axon Enterprise, Motorola Solutions, and PlateSmart, among others.
"The Roads Have Eyes!" the company said in its BlueSky post announcing the new feature.
