My boss, putting on white grease paint and a red wig: Oh, of course! Let’s do it quickly so that you’ll want to keep working with us since you’re going to be making business decisions!

Me: I would sell you to satan for one corn chip and I’m allergic to corn but before you do this maybe you should call someone who is actually on our contact list for our customer and see if they’ve ever heard of this stranger.

My boss, looking through a selection of shoes that honk when you walk: Oh, but she said that it was very important that none of the employees know what was happening because they’re making staffing changes.

Me: As your lawyer I recommend that you just call a single one of our contacts and see if they’ve ever heard of her name.

My boss, shoving all of our technicians into a VW beetle: You’re not my lawyer.

Boss: On the bright side, it’s only the last five

“Hello I am [name] from [security firm] we’ve been hired to verify the security of the facility I need to see your computers.”

“Erm…I’ll have to verify that with my managers.”

“Congratulations, you have just passed the security verification.” [Scribbles on clipboard] “But in all seriousness I do need to verify your security so I need to see your computers.”

Eye spy some incredible adaptations 👀

Hyperiid amphipods are a small but anatomically diverse group of shrimp-like crustaceans with remarkable adaptations for life in the ocean’s twilight zone.

A team of researchers from MBARI, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, GEOMAR, the University of Western Australia, and the Florida Museum of Natural History leveraged 30 years of video observations from MBARI’s robotic submersibles to study the evolution of eye complexity in hyperiid amphipods. The team recently published their findings in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. 📸: Karen J. Osborn/Smithsonian Institution

Hyperiid amphipods are abundant in the midwater environment. Recognizing the true abundance of free-swimming, predatory species requires scientists to reconsider the ecological role of hyperiids in midwater communities. This innovative research underscores the value of direct observations for uncovering evolutionary and ecological processes in the largest living space on Earth. 📸: Karen J.

A new White House task force reviewing thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement documents for evidence of irregularities in U.S. elections is expected to begin releasing documents within weeks, two U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter told MS NOW. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, whose acting chief, Bill Pulte, has been accused by Democrats of politically weaponizing federal government information, will be part of the effort. Democrats say that Trump has placed Pulte in the position so that he can aid Republicans in the midterm elections and potentially limit voting by Democrats. Pulte has no intelligence experience and also serves as the administration’s top federal housing official. Pulte referred multiple Trump political rivals for Justice Department criminal prosecution last year based on mortgage information he obtained from government databases. None of those cases have resulted in convictions.  The release of the documents appears to be part of a series of accelerating efforts by Trump and his aides to again question the results of the 2020 election, claim that widespread voter fraud occurs in the country and decrease public trust in the results of pivotal elections this fall that will decide control of Congress. 

“I don’t think we’ve ever seen an administration that is this hostile to voting rights and free and fair elections,” said Jonathan Diaz, the director of voting advocacy at the Campaign Legal Center, an ethics watchdog group. “This is a new frontier.” Election security experts and election officials have long expected the Trump administration to release more government documents in an attempt to flood the information ecosystem with false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election — all with an eye toward sowing confusion about future elections.

Threatening letters

A Trump Justice Department appointee, Harmeet Dhillon, threatened state election officials nationwide with criminal prosecution on Tuesday if they count ballots cast by noncitizens, according to letters from Dhillon reviewed by MS NOW.   The move amplifies long-debunked conspiracy theories promoted by Trump about widespread noncitizen voting, which research and state audits have found is extremely rare, involves a minuscule number of votes and is not conducted in a coordinated manner. 

Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, a Republican and Utah’s top election official, assailed Dhillon’s tenor and tactics. She said in a social media post that a dozen courts had ruled that previous requests from Dhillon for private voter data from states were illegal.  “Got another love letter this morning from the DOJ sprinkled throughout with threats of criminal prosecution,” Henderson wrote. “This is truly bizarre behavior by the federal agency that is supposed to be protecting civil rights.” Dhillon also informed Michigan officials this week that the Justice Department intends to send federal monitors to three cities that are Democratic strongholds, including Lansing, during the state’s Aug. 4 primary elections. Michigan has a hotly contested U.S. Senate race and a toss-up House seat in Lansing that are key targets for both parties.  And in late June, the Federal Emergency Management Agency published new requirements demanding that states revamp how they conduct elections or risk losing federal counterterrorism funding awarded by FEMA’s parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security.  [...]

Staunch loyalists

In addition to Pulte’s appointment as acting director of national intelligence, Trump has appointed Todd Blanche, his former defense lawyer, as acting attorney general. Kash Patel, a former Trump White House aide, is FBI director. The appointments of staunch loyalists to lead the country’s most powerful intelligence and law enforcement posts have raised concerns among Democrats that they could help Trump question the results and limit voting in Democratic areas. Pulte, Blanche and Patel — and all previous heads of the Justice Department, FBI and U.S. spy agencies  — have no legal role in the administration of elections or the counting of votes, election experts said. They have the authority to investigate foreign interference in U.S. elections, but the Constitution clearly says that only state and local officials — and in some instances Congress — set the rules for voting and count the votes. No president in U.S. history has tried to unilaterally rewrite federal election rules and use the U.S. Postal Service to limit who gets to vote, until Trump did so in an executive order last spring. No president had systematically spread false claims that elections are rigged, and declined to accept presidential election results, until November 2020. And no president had replaced attorneys general, FBI directors and intelligence officials who declined to back their conspiracy theories with ones who do — until Trump returned to the White House for a second term.
