Solar Winds list of clients is now hidden

2. Unknown if #hacking investigation is expanding to all #SolarWinds clients, like Dominion Voting Systems.

3. "early signs indicate the reach of the stealthy supplychain attack will have substantial aftershocks; #SolarWinds claims to have 300,000 customers, inc. /National Security Agency all 5 branches of the U.S. military & entities in /health tech telecommunications media & finance"
4. We discuss the #SolarWinds breach in our #ElectionProtection forum on Tuesday with Election & Cyber expert @rad_atl

5. Department of Homeland Security is one of the hacked agencies. CISA (a DHS sub-agency) assured the public that “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history." Meanwhile DHS may have been compromised itself for as much as 9 months. https://t.co/dU6ViAI4h1
6. "hackers responsible for the infiltration of SolarWinds are some of the most capable hackers FireEye says it has ever observed/but it’s alarming that the U.S. government’s / intel & natl security apparatus was not alert to the espionage operation" https://t.co/R3Z1U5zwaW
7. The hack was not 1st reported by US intel, but by a private company FireEye, a private security firm that found it had been hacked itself. https://t.co/PaZ0r5tT4K

8. "hackers, had penetrated FireEye's servers and made off with its crown jewels: the tools it uses to test other companies’ defenses. Armed with those penetration tools, hackers could potentially identify which of their methods will pass FireEye's gaze undetected." #Election2020
9. Much of the penetration was done by compromising official software downloads "US government networks were compromised: by installing tainted downloads – " This can also be done with voting machines as well - because they have to be updated for each election. #ElectionIntegrity
10. So the argument that is commonly used that voting machines are secure because they are not connected to the internet is false. It's good to keep voting systems offline - but election best practices must take into account that almost any system can eventually be hacked.
11. That is why meticulous, thorough post-election auditing of ballots that are hand-marked by voters whenever possible is so important - because that is how security experts recommend a system can be checked for accuracy to verify no hacking or mistakes have occurred. #Elections
12. Touchscreen ballot-marking devices like Dominion ICX (Georgia) and ExpressVote XL (Philly & NY - pending cert) are NOT good to use as a primary voting system. Because the computer creates the ballot, there's no way to use an audit of ballots to check for #hacking & errors.

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
