I'm delighted to announce that the State Software Collaborative, that Robin Carnahan and I started in 2020, is growing up and leaving its @beeckcenter.bsky.social nest— @csgovts.bsky.social is taking it on as a major new initiative, building and supporting shared intergovernmental software.

Following the examples of California, Oregon and Colorado, Washington is replacing "alien" with "noncitizen" in its legal code: www.khq.com/news/washing...

New from me: Amid "rising global threats," North Carolina's governor and top tech officials are urging the entire state to "work together" to defend against cyberattacks. statescoop.com/north-caroli...

when you're right you're right

State and local government officials were this week advised to watch for a wave of "low-level cyber activity" after the United States and Israel last weekend began their deadly strikes on Iran. statescoop.com/iran-war-202...

starting a war on a Saturday is very rude

Statement from Congressman Moulton regarding U.S. military action in Iran

Pleased to be one of several Scoop News Group journalists named as a finalist for the Jesse Neal Awards this year. My story was part of a package of reporting we did across publications on the Trump administration's AI Action Plan that was nominated for Best News Coverage.

Reading some of the big names in philosophy rn and didn't realize Descartes went through a Jordan Peterson phase before he died. Meditations on First Philosophy is one of the more useless things any person has written

Trump just described voting as "the greatest privilege of them all." We don't call it a privilege here. It's a right.

Who needs the Post's sports desk when you can get commentary like this for free

hey not to be bossy but if everyone could stop posting shirtless pics of RFK that would be superb

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

Illinois Governor Pritzker, following today's SCOTUS ruling, sends President Trump an invoice for $8,679,261,600 for refunds of the "illegal tariffs" the residents of his state were charged.

Seems very unlikely to pass, but what an idea www.nj.com/politics/202...

Fellow Americans, it is possible to get this one right:

It is my personal editorial position that the term "reported fiction" is bad and not a thing journalists should, generally speaking, embrace.

just read some shocking news

In case you missed it on Friday (I did): The Center for Democracy and Technology announced a new program aiming to “strengthen mechanisms that provide timely, actionable research and analysis to support the cybersecurity and resilience of vital election processes.” statescoop.com/cdt-election...

Texas AG Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against TP-Link, the first in a series his office is filing against Chinese companies that have allegedly harmed Texans statescoop.com/texas-ag-ken...

Say what you want about Republicans, but no one is funnier:

Here's a good @theonion.com piece: Mike Johnson admits to knowing something

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

everyone complaining about this is just jealous they can't afford to take their families to the fancy molestation island and have to settle for regular islands

Minnesota's CIO, Tarek Tomes, is stepping down. New: statescoop.com/tarek-tomes-...

Much has been written about Melania, but this is one of the most fascinating articles I've seen. It seemingly defends the work, but not on the basis of its merit. Rather, he's mad the woke left is unjustly keeping this sort of pablum from the masses. www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/02...

Rob Knake, former deputy national cyber director under Biden, said he expects the Trump administration's new cyber strategy (which my colleague @timstarks.bsky.social reported on first!) to be released overnight.

this video from two years ago has only gotten better www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKfH...

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

I love when cops use puns in the names of their super serious investigations
