Tomorrow marks one year since @POTUS and @VP took office. In honor of that milestone, I wanted to look back at 12 remarkable accomplishments @POTUS has achieved in the past 12 months. Buckle up!

1. We reduced health care costs and expanded coverage to nearly 5 million Americans https://t.co/ns4yzSWqTX

2. Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, we reopened 95% of schools and helped schools address the pandemic’s impact on students’ learning and mental health

3. Through landmark executive orders, we made advancing equity and racial justice the business of the entire federal government https://t.co/cmFQyL6Bab

4. We passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and started rebuilding our infrastructure and creating good jobs

5. We increased the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to up to $3,600 per child

6. We laid out a comprehensive strategy to reduce gun crime, including community violence https://t.co/5STQGOCxP6

7. We extended the pause on student loan repayment and cancelled roughly $15 billion in federal student loan debt for over 675,000 borrowers

8. We took action to expand access to the ballot https://t.co/ZcEHFwuTHl

9. We delivered unprecedented support for Tribal Nations https://t.co/U7xA27NnwA

10. We strengthened the safety net to reduce hunger https://t.co/QOy6rbpZOn

11. We increased support for minority-owned and other underserved small businesses https://t.co/6K2epc9fOK

12. We reversed harmful, counterproductive immigration policies of the previous administration https://t.co/4jAXY7KIqV

(And we managed a few righteous DPC throwdowns along the way.)

Our team did all that extraordinary work under very tough circumstances—often masked, sometimes caring for sick family members. I’m grateful to everyone at DPC and the @WhiteHouse who delivered for the American people this past year. Can’t wait to see what we get done in 2022.

NEW: For decades Trump has used sprawling NDAs to intimidate employees and associates into silence. But he just lost a case to @OMAROSA that could help bring his political and corporate secrets down on his head. Me & @swin24 @thedailybeast

We also got a slide show that the Trump White House gave interns when they were hired, which tried to scare them into not leaking to the press. The slides contained a cartoon of a person behind bars.

A massive trove of private financial records shared with The Washington Post exposes vast reaches of the secretive offshore system used to hide billions of dollars from tax authorities, creditors, criminal investigators and citizens around the world.

The Post and scores of other news organizations collaborated in the effort, conceived and organized by @ICIJorg, to illuminate the workings of this secret world on a scale never before possible.

The #PandoraPapers is an investigation based on more than 11.9 million documents.

It exposes more than twice as many account holders and twice as many public officials as the Panama Papers did. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m

The files detail the offshore activities of more than 29,000 accounts.

Among them: More than 130 Forbes list billionaires and over 330 public officials around the globe. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m

The #PandoraPapers allow for the most comprehensive accounting to date of a parallel financial universe whose corrosive effects can span generations. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m

1. So you're probably seething about the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case saying lawyers can't call the 3 people he shot "victims," while there's a chance they can be called "rioters" or "looters"

Did you wonder what's up with this guy? I did.

Buckle up

2. Kenosha County (WI) Judge Bruce Schroeder first started getting noticed early in his 40-plus-year career on the bench. In 1987, he made headlines requiring AIDS tests for sex workers. Told he'd be challenged for violating civil liberties, Schroeder said, "I hope so."

3. Story

4. By 2006, Judge Schroeder had such a bad reputation for his outrageous style - and stiff sentences - that hundreds of defendants had requested a different judge, causing a massive backlog in Kenosha County courts

5. Schroeder's highest profile case before Rittenhouse was in 2008, when a man was found guilty of murdering his wife with antifreeze and Schroeder doled out a life sentence. But he botched it. An appeals court tossed the conviction: Schroeder made an evidentiary mistake

1) My Stan Lee story happened when I was in 5th grade. I was visiting NYC with my Dad and had read the address for Marvel in the comics I read constantly. I begged my Dad to take me and to his credit he did. And guess what? It was just an office.

2) We were down in the lobby and I was kind of crushed. I don’t know what I expected, The Thing and the Yancy Street Gang to be sitting around smoking cigars? Anyway, my Dad was taking a beat to figure where we were going next and a guy came up to us.

3) He was wearing a white shirt and tie and said to Dad “Is he disappointed because. The Marvel offices were just offices?” My Dad said yes and then the guy who had gray around his temples and a mustache said “hold on a second” and opened one of those office mailboxes with a key.

4) He then handed me a thick stack of EVERY SINGLE MARVEL COMIC COMING OUT THE NEXT MONTH. “Here you go. Keep reading Marvel comics” he said and then walked off. I left in a daze and about 15 minutes later it hit me “Gray around the temples, mustache... That was Stan Lee!”

5) Later when I wrote on the Ant Man movie I told Kevin Feige the story, the year, look of the guy etc and Kevin said “That’s exactly the kind of thing Stan would do and he would have been there then. That was him.” Rest In Peace Stan Lee and thank you for the comics.

My dad’s first memory is hiding under a table 80 years ago tonight, when Nazis took his dad to Dachau on #Kristallnacht.

His parents, my Omi and Opi, always considered themselves more German than Jewish, so they didn’t think they’d get swept up in the madness.

Opi was taken to city hall with other Jews and lined up against a wall. He thought he was going to be shot.

He always remembered when they got to Dachau there were pajamas with Jewish stars waiting on their cots. Obviously not a spontaneous thing.

He was very lucky. His family got him a fake Uruguayan visa and he was out of Dachau six weeks later. “Before Christmas,” my dad recalls.

Act of 1871
This is Long but it will end with a BOOM

With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten-mile square parcel of land (see, Acts of the Forty-first Congress,”

Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62).
The act — passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War — was a strategic move by foreign interests (international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers

and neck of America.
Congress cut a deal with the international bankers (specifically Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation without serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their

foot in the door of the United States.
The Act of 1871 formed a corporation called THE UNITED STATES. The corporation, OWNED by foreign interests, moved in and shoved the original Constitution into a dustbin.

With the Act of 1871, the organic Constitution was defaced — in effect vandalized and sabotage — when the title was capitalized and the word “for” was changed to “of” in the title.

A thing which I unironically and enthusiastically believe which is unpopular among smart people of my acquaintance: financial engineering has in the recent past and present contributed substantially to human welfare. We should hope to see more of it.

Maybe more geeks need to meet someone who says “My job is teleporting value across time and space.”

Financial engineering is sort of a squishy term. I don’t primarily mean payments infrastructure or financial rails, although both of those involve substantial engineering.

I mean more “We took a thing and performed some alchemy, and now have a new thing.”

Except instead of alchemy it is generally quite a bit of math, a huge amount of contract law and due diligence, often an impressive amount of ops work, and a dusting of technology that web devs would recognize as such.

Singing the Blues:
Taking Down an Insider Threat

"I had all of the advantages. I was already inside the network. No one suspected me. But they found my hack, kicked me off the network...

...and physically hunted me down."

Many pentests start from the outside, wanting to see how the perimeter might be breached.

This pentest started from the inside. My client wanted to assume they had already been breached, and, if breached, how far could an attacker go.

Could they stop me once I was inside?

So they snuck me in. Disguised me as a new employee. Gave me a work computer, an ID badge, an account in their system... hell, I even had a cubicle w/my assumed name on it.

The only person who knew who I really was was their CISO. Everyone else thought I was Jeremy in Marketing.

During most of the first morning, I completed onboarding, made introductions, and completed menial tasks.

But I had to act quick. I only had a week onsite. I had to hack their network while not raising suspicion.

So I set about it.

You have to understand... most "Internal Pentests" are straight forward. The hard part is breaching the network, but once you're inside, it's a target rich environment. End of Life computers, default passwords, everyone a Local Administrator...
