Rep. Heather Bauer criticized the meager information provided in state-mandated reports.
“It’s very vague at best. I think we deserve to know what they’re using their money on,” the Columbia Democrat said. “How many people have they helped? What kind of resources and programing are they giving these people? And I’d like to see evidence of what outcomes they have for pregnant women in our state.”
Generating bonds of trust in these #fediverse ecosystems, and building a distribution of information with maximum #transparency, avoiding exposure to the redistribution of information by #BigTech, is the only remedy against #AIgen

Social media can be a strange place. I just got accused of not being American—because I argued the U.S. federal government should follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Why would I care about U.S. accounting standards if I weren’t American? Then I got blocked. Who knew honest math was so controversial? • #Accounting #GAAP #FederalBudget #Transparency #FiscalResponsibility #PublicFinance #HonestAccounting #OnlyOnSocialMedia #Blocked #MathIsPolitical #HonestMath #BecauseMath
Shoot the Messenger, Sunday Edition: Reporting on a leak is not unethical, Hamilton County

Here's another notification where it sounds like the victim paid the extortion demand but doesn't come right out and say that. Instead, their notification letter says that the data had temporarily been posted online but "The data is no longer posted on the dark web and, at this time, Kronick has no reason to believe this data was retained by the unknown third party or that any additional data was taken."
They don't name the attackers, but this was an incident involving #Rhysida that Rhysida had claimed on August 22, 2024.
Given how often we are told that these ransomware groups do retain data even after pinky-swearing and providing videos of it supposedly being destroyed forever, should entities like the law firm above say they have no reason to believe that their data was retained?

It's interesting to note that the Transparency label this CD was released on, isn't your typical noise label, but a label that has released mostly Sun Ra, it seems.

“It has become clear that #truth & #transparency are not desired by the secretary [#RFKJr], but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his #misinformation & #lies,” Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the #FDA’s acting commissioner.
Hours earlier in WV, RFKJr asserted that #Covid did not kill healthy people, contrary to research showing that 30% of those who died early in the #pandemic did not have underlying conditions.
Oracle Health is becoming the poster child for how NOT to respond to a breach:
American Oversight is suing the Trump administration for using Signal to plan military operations! 
The lawsuit targets officials like Hegseth, Gabbard & Rubio for violating federal records laws. 
They're fighting to recover deleted messages & ensure accountability. #Accountability #Transparency #AmericanOversight

Yes, this happened.
No Scandinavian country could possibly rival with this grade of transparency. Kudos, USA!

So he did hold clearance before--but those expire, like a driver's license--when he was in Harper's government.
Since then, has he become an agent of #india?
Dunno. #Transparency is one thing, treason is another allllllltogether.

"The White House budget office has taken down its website where approvals of federal funding provided in appropriations laws are statutorily required to be posted for public viewing, a move likely to face major blowback from members of Congress and government watchdogs."

Independent Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie is pushing for an inquiry into Tasmania’s salmon industry, raising serious concerns about whether diseased fish are being sold to the public.
A shocking policy document from 10 years ago has surfaced, revealing that staff were advised to recover as many fish as possible during mass die-offs for harvest and processing. 
This raises major questions about food safety and industry practices. Shouldn’t we know what’s on our plates?
