An FEC email said a 'bad actor' tried to breach its systems as the US prepares for its most expensive elections ever.

    The outage prevents organisations from filing the FEC’s 24 and 48-hour spending reports, which track how political groups and candidates are spending on specific races.

        Because their goal is the destruction of the US and the President is Putin’s lackey.

          Cool. Okay. That’s probably best, honestly. 👍

          Seems like Mamdani also has something on Trump. Good for both of them.

          America is out of control, and that didn’t start with Trump. We’ve become an existential threat to all humanity. Even most Americans agree.

              I’m saying that the end of the U.S. government as we know it would be a godsend for all humanity. Not sure where the confusion is.

                Because that has nothing to do with whether Russia is doing cyber crimes.
