I wonder if Trump realizes that the stock market is way up this morning, NOT because they approve of his policies, but rather are happy because he’s reversed his policies. They like him when he’s not involved

Did anyone else see this yesterday? I noticed a good number of young adults and even children at the two No Kings protests that I had not noticed prior. I loved seeing this. We need the young to steer the direction of our country, it’s their future after all. #NoKings

The lawsuits now as to where the tariff money the government collected is going to go … Does it go to companies that paid more, importers that absorbed some of it, or you and I - that paid 95% of it. What a mess

Commerce department released trade deficit #’s Trump was spouting yesterday that it would be the first surplus ever … it wasn’t even close and worse than the month prior. And for all of 2025,m, annually, it was the same deficit as Biden’s “horrible” 2024 Tariffs don’t work!

The real risk isn’t AI — it’s the mismatch between user perception and system design. A conversational interface feels confidential. Platform architecture and data policy may say otherwise. When UX signals privacy but governance doesn’t guarantee it, exposure becomes predictable.

Systems don’t fail from a single event — they break where silos hide weak links. Organizational boundaries without shared oversight are a root driver of cascading risk. Operational resilience begins with integrated risk visibility. mexicobusiness.news/tech/news/co...
