Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to withhold his signature from all bills until Congress passes a GOP-led voting bill that implements voter restrictions ahead of the November midterms.
“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL,” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Be sure to mention that human rights must be assured to people of any gender or sex.
Got my dipole onto the 12m band while investigating power limit issues for 10m and I might just stay here for a while. :3
Still need to figure out the power issue, though. Using the braid of LL240 coax as the conductor for the loading coil worked a charm. When I was using magnet wire for the same, the turns got hot, but now I don't notice any heat. I also have stacked T200-2 cores, which don't appear to be warming up like the earlier single T200-2 core. At this point, it seems like the matching autotransformer (a single FT240-43) might be the issue, as it is still getting pretty warm. Will most likely rebuild it with stacked cores. 🤔

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir | Techdirt
Palantir Technologies, the infamous surveillance and data analytics giant chaired by Peter Thiel, has filed a lawsuit against Republik, a small Swiss online magazine, over a pair of investigative articles published in December. The articles, produced in collaboration with the investigative collective WAV, detailed a years-long, multi-ministry charm offensive by Palantir to sell its software to Swiss federal authorities. The campaign was, by all accounts, a comprehensive failure. Swiss agencies rejected Palantir at least nine times, with concerns ranging from data sovereignty to reputational risk to the simple fact that nobody needed the product.
As if it’s any sort of surprise that European governments are wary of betting on US tech companies with close ties to the US government. It’s not like reports of US spies co-opting US tech companies for surveillance efforts haven’t been front page news over the past twenty years. And now, this administration—with its willingness to antagonize everyone in Europe, and its close ties to Palantir and Thiel? It’s no freaking wonder that the Swiss government was like “yo, maybe pass.”
If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…
