Two things:

Ian sent me this: https://gizmodo.com/us-homeland-security-will-start-collecting-social-media-1818777094. DHS says they’ve been doing this for a while, just thought they should get it clear on the record.

And, the new guy in the Senate: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/09/the-muted-gop-response-to-roy-moores-anti-muslim-prejudice/541461/. I assumed he’d be completely ineffective, a crazy hand-grenade that wouldn’t be able to do anything in the Senate except go off at a tangent.

Wrong again.
