,
Three top lawyers for the Democratic fundraising organization ActBlue have been subpoenaed by members of the House Administration, Judiciary and Oversight committees who are probing the group’s ties to alleged fraudulent donations.

The individuals who have been summoned to be deposed by House investigators include former ActBlue general counsel Darrin Hurwitz and ex-director and associate general counsel Aaron Ting as well as another anonymous ActBlue lawyer.
They have been asked to appear for depositions on Oct. 15, 21 and 28.
🚨 Our investigation into ActBlue continues.
Today, Chairmen twitter.com/RepBryanSteil?ref_…

that records previously uncovered by the House committees show that Hurwitz, Ting and the unidentified counsel worked with the platform’s fraud prevention team to relax the organization’s donation standards during the 2024 election cycle.
ActBlue is accused of allowing debit and credit transactions to be processed without requiring a card verification value (CVV) until January 2024 and then further instructed employees to “look for reasons to accept contributions.”
In April and September of 2024, guidelines were further relaxed allowing between 14 and 28 fraudulent contributions each month.
A report released in March from House Oversight and Administration Committee staff, showed that ActBlue had 1900 fraudulent transactions between February 2022 and November 2024.
The letter released Thursday by the House committees, says, “Other internal ActBlue documents show that top fraud-prevention staff assessed that there were several mechanisms by which bad actors could evade ActBlue’s fraud-prevention systems and make illicit donations.”
In that letter, Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) affirmed that, “Congress has a specific interest in ensuring that bad actors, including foreign actors, cannot make fraudulent or illegal political donations through online fundraising platforms. Our oversight to date indicates that current law may be insufficient to stop these illicit donations.”
The organization was also found to have fraudulently used the names and personal confidential information of American citizens, without their knowledge or permission, to launder money through the ActBlue platform.
An overnight investigation has found even more disturbing evidence of donation fraud in my name...
ActBlue FEC campaign reports claim I donated multiple $2 amounts to Democratic candidates in Kansas.
I have never stepped foot in Kansas.
I have never donated to any candidate. t.co/JPYA9ZTp3m

@sindarina *should* being the operative word here. I think that the problem is that it's part of an auto-deployment script and the network connection for allowing the NTP is coming too late in the installation process inside the VM.
Plus something strange on the host as it's not connecting to the 0.europe.pool.ntp.org address, but does fine on 1-3. Removing that entry and I'll see if that stabilizes things on the host (although this problem should only occur if I turn off the lab for an extended period)

The image depicts a serene, paved path winding through a lush, green forest. The path is marked with a yellow line down the center, indicating it is likely intended for two-way traffic, such as bicycles or pedestrians. The surrounding trees are predominantly birch, with their characteristic white bark and bright green leaves, suggesting it is spring or early summer. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. The path curves gently to the right, inviting the viewer to follow it into the distance. The grass on either side of the path is vibrant and well-maintained, with some fallen leaves scattered along the edges, adding to the natural ambiance.

“Abundance” Lobby Uses Trendy Words to Hide Same Old Attacks on the Environment
One of the Trump administration’s top priorities has been its devastating, unilateral rollback of renewable energy projects and environmental regulations — and a corresponding, aggressive push for fossil fuel interests. But to hear a growing chorus of “abundance” proponents tell it, the real obstacle to climate progress is environmental regulation itself. In a disturbing trend…

Brainworms’ batshit beliefs about healthcare and medicine are no more credible that those of the loudmouth drunk at the end of the bar. in fact, they’re less credible — because the loudmouth drunk at the end of the bar might be an actual doctor."

Se dovessi rinunciare a una parola che uso regolarmente
Mi interrogherei e presterei attenzione alle circostanze che mi hanno costretto a rinunciare a quella parola. La parola forse sarebbe “che paura!”, espressione che può essere tanto polisemica quanto “‘tacci tua”: dipende dalla prosodia dell’espressione, dalle intenzioni, dal contesto, dal tono di voce del locutore.
Perché quindi ho rinunciato a quella parola? Chi mi ci ha costretto? Probabilmente dei parlanti a me prossimi e vicini che mi frequentano spesso e che non ne possono più di sentirmi dire “che paura!” a ogni piè sospinto, per cui mi hanno detto con tono fermo e a brutto muso “cambia musica!!!”
Allora me ne uscirei con l’ultimo “che paura!” della mia vita, che d’ora in poi diventerebbe “mannaja!”, da leggere: /manˈnad͡ʒːa/ oppure alla romana /nˈnad͡ʒːa/
