    The administration is trying to claim that there were ceasefires and that because there were (based on their claims), the conflict timer resets so as to be with the 60 day window before Congress needs to approve the continued use of the military. So basically the new conflict that just started immediately follows the previous conflict, that started back in February, is still within the 60 day window.



  • “Did the toll records that you requested from the Senators, did they include the content of the phone calls?” Smith was asked.

    “No,” he said. He again answered no when asked whether the toll records he had requested included the content of text messages.

    Jordan, in his referral, says that that answer was misleading in light of newly released records from Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa showing that Smith had obtained the contents of 44 lawmakers’ text messages in a separate subpoena to the National Archives and Records Administration that sought the communications of various Trump advisers and aides.

    Doesn’t seem like the statement Smith made was false, just that the question was too narrowly focused on toll records and Senators specifically. They should have asked if any contents of anyone’s text messages were accessed by any subpoena in the investigation, but they didn’t.



  • I’ve never picked Oracle, but I think their sales pitch is basically to make a good upfront offer with tons of credits which you can’t ignore. The credits expire in like 3 years or something which seems long, and when you’re chasing quarterly profits, cutting your provider cost by 60% helps you look like you made things more profitable. They’re banking on vendor lock in and inertia to keep you in after the credits run out and then they can squeeze you for money.
