SOON, IT WILL BE VGER TIME: NASA shuts down Voyager 1 instrument to keep probe exploring interstellar space.
IS AI THE KILLER HACKING TOOL? The Washington Stand’s Bob MacGinnis looks at a recent IBM assessment and warns:
“This is no longer a warning about the future. It is the present reality in every home, business, and institution that depends on a computer or a phone. Cybersecurity has always been a contest between offense and defense, with defenders holding a workable edge: even when attackers found a gap, there was time to patch, reinforce, and adapt. That assumption is collapsing.
“AI-driven tools can now comb through digital environments, identify weaknesses, simulate attack strategies, and keep trying — automatically, continuously — until they find a way through. The defenders, meanwhile, are still largely operating systems built to catch threats they already recognize, not intelligent agents they have never encountered.”

TWO AGENCIES, ONE BUILDING: From the Story You Don’t Hear Every Day Department, the General Services Administration (GSA) and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) are, respectively, the federal government’s “housekeeping” and “human resources” offices, with nearly 15,000 employees between them.
Presently, GSA and OPM occupy two separate buildings, but sometime this summer, the former’s workers will start showing up at the latter’s building and will continue doing so until major renovation of their building are completed sometime in 2028. When the renovation is complete, both agencies will then begin operating out of the GSA’s freshened facility.
Officials say, as I report today for The Washington Stand, that such a consolidation of two major agencies into one shared structure has never before happened. But there are plans afoot in the Trump administration for a parade of such happenings in the near future.
WONDER? OR CONVINCED?
One thing that’s been very conspicuous over the past 24 hours is how many big name Democrats are lashing out over the SPLC charges, making totally ridiculous claims that they are baseless or illegitimate, even though there is a grand jury indictment. It’s so completely detached… https://t.co/jv1DbYpYpy
