Norway reviews cybersecurity after remote-access feature found in Chinese buses

The complaints shed light on much of the internal strife at the agency earlier this year, as the #Trump admin clamped down on the country’s #medical research #funding apparatus.
The scientists drew particular attention to what they described as an administration-wide “hostility” toward #vaccines that they said had taken hold in the upper echelons of the #NIH, long one of the world’s leading engines of #vaccine #research.
The allegations added to a growing chorus of protest from former high-ranking #health officials over what they warned were dangerous & unscientific views about #vaccines gripping the #FederalGovernment & potentially opening the door to preventable infections.
Those policies have not only restricted people’s #access to vaccines, …but also have constrained federally funded #research on future inoculations against #InfectiousDiseases.

#Trump said on Monday that he would lead a movement to eliminate #MailinBallots & would sign an #ExecutiveOrder to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” Trump has long opposed mail-in voting & said it was a source of fraud during the 2020 election, though his AG at that time said that his assertions of widespread fraud couldn’t be proven.

#Trump also wrote that he wanted to get rid of voting machines, which he described as inaccurate & expensive [wrong. Far more accurate than hand counting]. He claimed, incorrectly, that the US was “the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting.”
His post did not elaborate on what the #ExecutiveOrder would say. It was also not immediately clear whether the Trump admin could stop the use of mail-in voting, which is largely entrusted to individual states.

#Trump argued in his post that #states were “merely an agent’ for the #FederalGovernment in counting & tabulating the votes.” [he is so unbelievably ignorant]
“They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them,” Trump said. [whatever happened to the #StatesRights party?]

#Trump has maintained his opposition even after #Republicans in the 2024 #election made significant gains in mail voting when the party encouraged its supporters to make use of the practice.
On Truth Social on Monday, Trump posted: “THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!”
[IOW if people #vote, he & his candidates lose]

Another Bridgend Ramblers walking making use of Pencoed Footpath 5 running from Hendre, south of the M4 to Woodlands Fields. Access was a bit of a challenge with two stiles not making things easy for walkers. #Ramblers#Access#RightsOfWay#Footpaths#Hendre#Pencoed#Walking #Wales#Cymru
Struggling to get over the stile with the walkers due to barbed wire and a very wobbly stile.
One of the stiles that was difficult to climb over. IT wasn't wide enough, there was barbed wire and the standing plank was at the wrong angle meaning you had to be a gymnast to safely pass.

…The NYT has learned new details about how the operation came together after the election, mapped out in a series of closely held meetings in Palm Beach, FL, & through early intelligence-gathering efforts in Washington.
Seasoned conservative operatives like #StephenMiller & #RussVought helped educate #Musk about the workings of the bureaucracy. Soon, he stumbled on an opening. It was a little-known unit with reach across the government: the US Digital Service [#USDS]…
#Musk & his advisers — including Steve Davis, a cost cutter who worked w/him at X & other companies — did not want to create a commission, as past budget hawks had done. They wanted direct, insider #access to government systems. They realized they could use the #USDS office, whose staff had been focused on helping agencies fix #technology problems, to quickly penetrate the #FederalGovernment — & then decipher how to break it apart.
…#Musk held forth on the patio on a variety of topics: his visit to the US–Mexico border; the war in Ukraine; his frustrations w/govt #regulations hindering his rocket company, #SpaceX; & Ramaswamy’s highest priority, the dismantling of the #FederalBureaucracy.
Musk made clear that he saw the gutting of that bureaucracy as primarily a #technology challenge. He told the party of around 20 that when he overhauled Twitter,…the key was gaining access to the…servers.
Wouldn’t it be great, #Musk offered, if he had #access to the #computers of the #FederalGovernment?
Just give him the passwords, he said jocularly, & he would make the govt fit & trim.
What started as musings at a dinner party evolved into a #radical takeover of the #FederalBureaucracy. It was driven with a frenetic focus by Musk, who channeled his #libertarian impulses & resentment of #regulatory #oversight of his vast #business holdings into a singular position of #influence.
