Donald Trump has yet to move back into the White House and already fissures are opening in his coalition, amid squabbling between Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley "tech bros" and his hardcore Republican backers. At the heart of the internecine sniping is Trump's central election issue -- immigration -- and the H1-B visas that allow companies to bring foreigners with specific qualifications to the United States. The permits are widely used in Silicon Valley, and Musk -- who himself came to the United States from South Africa on an H1-B -- is a fervent advocate. The world's richest man, who bankrolled Trump's election campaign and has become a close advisor, posted on X Thursday that welcoming elite engineering talent from abroad was "essential for America to keep winning." Vivek Ramaswamy, appointed by Trump as Musk's co-chair on a new advisory board on government efficiency, suggested that companies prefer foreign workers because they lack an "American culture," which he said venerates mediocrity. "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers," he posted, warning that, without a change in attitude, "we'll have our asses handed to us by China." Skepticism over the benefits of immigration is a hallmark of Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement and the billionaires' remarks angered immigration hawks who accused them of ignoring US achievements in technological innovation. Incoming White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted a 2020 speech in which Trump marveled at the American "culture" that had "harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the Internet." The post appeared calculated to remind critics that Trump won November's election on a platform of getting tough on immigration and boosting American manufacturing. But it was Michael Faraday, an English scientist, who discovered that an electric current could be produced by passing a magnet through a copper wire and Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealander, who first split the atom. And Alexander Graham Bell may have died a US citizen but he was a British subject in Canada when he invented the telephone. Trump voiced opposition to H1-B visas during his successful first run for the White House in 2016, calling them "unfair for our workers" while acknowledging that he used foreign labor in his own businesses. The Republican placed restrictions on the system when he took office, but the curbs were lifted by President Joe Biden. Trump is known for enjoying the gladiatorial spectacle when conflict breaks out in his inner circle. He has been conspicuously silent during the hostilities that Politico characterized as "Musk vs MAGA." Many MAGA figures have been agitating for a complete closure of America's borders while the problem of illegal entries is tackled, and hoping for a steer from Trump that would reassure them that he remains firm in his "America First" stance. For some long-time loyalists, Silicon Valley has already inserted itself too deeply into MAGA politics. "We welcomed the tech bros when they came running our way to avoid the 3rd grade teacher picking their kid's gender -- and the obvious Biden/Harris economic decline," said Matt Gaetz, the scandal-hit congressman forced to withdraw after being nominated by Trump to run the Justice Department. "We did not ask them to engineer an immigration policy." When Musk almost single-handedly blew up a deal painstakingly hammered out between Democrats and Republicans to set the 2025 federal budget, Democrats used "President Musk" to mock Trump, who is famously sensitive about being upstaged. It remains to be seen whether these cracks can be smoothed out or if they are a portent of further strife, but critics point to the chaos in Trump's first term as a potential indicator. "Looking forward to the inevitable divorce between President Trump and Big Tech," said far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, a MAGA figure with so much influence that she had a seat on Trump's plane during the campaign. "We have to protect President Trump from the technocrats." Loomer has subsequently complained of censorship after she was stripped of her paying subscribers on X, which is owned by Musk. "Full censorship of my account simply because I called out H1B visas," she posted. "This is anti-American behavior by tech oligarchs.

The Biden administration has imposed sanctions on the founder of Georgia’s ruling political party, which has steered the country away from a pro-Western stance and towards Russia, US officials said. The US State and Treasury departments said they hit Georgian Dream party founder and honorary chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili with penalties “for undermining the democratic and Euro-Atlantic future of Georgia for the benefit of the Russian Federation”, according to a statement. The designation of Mr Ivanishvili is the latest in a series of sanctions the US has placed on Georgian politicians and others this year. Those sanctions include freezes on assets and properties those targeted may have in US jurisdictions or that might enter US jurisdictions as well as travel bans on the targets and members of their families. “We strongly condemn Georgian Dream’s actions under Ivanishvili’s leadership, including its ongoing and violent repression of Georgian citizens, protesters, members of the media, human rights activists, and opposition figures,” the State Department said in a statement. “The United States is committed to promoting accountability for those undermining democracy and human rights in Georgia.” Mr Ivanishvili is a billionaire who made his fortune in Russia and served briefly as Georgia’s prime minister. In 2012, he founded Georgian Dream, Georgia’s longtime ruling party. Critics have accused Georgian Dream of becoming increasingly authoritarian and tilted towards Moscow. The party recently pushed through laws similar to those used by the Kremlin to crack down on freedom of speech and LGBT+ rights, prompting the European Union to suspend Georgia’s membership application process indefinitely. In October, Georgian Dream won another term in a divisive parliamentary election that has led to more mass protests. Last month, the country’s prime minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, announced a four-year suspension of talks on Georgia’s bid to join the European Union, fuelling further public outrage.

BOSTON (AP) — Two men, including a dual Iranian American citizen, have been arrested on charges that they exported sensitive technology to Iran that was used in a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American troops early this year and injured dozens of other service members, the Justice Department said Monday. The pair were arrested after FBI specialists who analyzed the drone traced the navigation system to an Iranian company operated by one of the defendants, who relied on technology funneled from the U.S. by his alleged co-conspirator, officials said. “We often cite hypothetical risk when we talk about the dangers of American technology getting into dangerous hands,” said U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy, the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts. “Unfortunately, in this situation, we are not speculating.” The defendants were identified as Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi, who prosecutors say works at a Massachusetts-based semiconductor company, and Mohammad Abedininajafabadi, who was arrested Monday in Italy as the Justice Department seeks his extradition to Massachusetts. Prosecutors allege that Abedininajafabadi, who also uses the surname Adedini and operates an Iranian company that manufactures navigation systems for drones, has connections to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. They allege that he conspired with Sadeghi to circumvent American export control laws, including through a front company in Switzerland, and procure sensitive technology into Iran. Both men are charged with export control violations, and Abedini separately faces charges of conspiring to provide material support to Iran. A lawyer for Sadeghi, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was arrested Monday in Massachusetts, did not immediately return an email seeking comment. U.S. officials blamed the January attack on the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias that includes Kataib Hezbollah. Three Georgia soldiers — Sgt. William Jerome Rivers of Carrollton, Sgt. Breonna Moffett of Savannah and Sgt. Kennedy Sanders of Waycross — were killed in the Jan. 28 drone attack on a U.S. outpost in northeastern Jordan called Tower 22. In the attack, the one-way attack drone may have been mistaken for a U.S. drone that was expected to return back to the logistics base about the same time and was not shot down. Instead, it crashed into living quarters, killing the three soldiers and injuring more than 40. Tower 22 held about 350 U.S. military personnel at the time. It is strategically located between Jordan and Syria, only 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Iraqi border, and in the months just after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and Israel’s blistering response in Gaza, Iranian-backed militias intensified their attacks on U.S. military locations in the region. Following the attack, the U.S. launched a huge counterstrike against 85 sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and Iranian-backed militia and bolstered Tower 22’s defenses. ____ Tucker and Copp reported from Washington.

Running back Jace Clarizio flipped his commitment from his local team, Michigan State, to Alabama. The decision, announced by Clarizio on social media Tuesday, comes after the East Lansing (Mich.) High standout visited head coach Kalen DeBoer's Crimson Tide on Nov. 16. "Great program," Clarizio told On3. "Playing on the biggest level. ... All the people and coaches I met and interacted with were all great people. The atmosphere was crazy." The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder is ranked as the No. 33 running back by On3 and tabbed No. 35 in their industry ranking. In May, he had verbally committed to the Spartans, where his father, Craig Johnson, was a running back and defensive back who was a member of the 1987 Rose Bowl-winning squad under coach George Perles. --Field Level MediaTop 10 Best Indian Supply Chain Startups Revolutionizing 2025
Santa Ana’s sole independent bookstore LibroMobile may be closing its doors. “In the last six months, our book sales have been incredibly low, and so on top of that, California state arts funding was cut, which means we lost two big grants, like $50,000 worth of funding that we normally get for our programming,” says owner and founder Sarah Rafael García. “We don’t have enough money projected for 2025. Right now, we’re not even sure we’re going to make it to June.” SEE ALSO : Sign up for our free Book Pages newsletter about bestsellers, authors and more García, who works another full-time job that runs through May, has had to cancel LibroMobile’s annual literary festival and events programming and she’s been dipping into her own income to keep the doors open at the store, which has two employees and additional student help. “I have been contributing my own personal funds to keep it going,” she says. “We’re grassroots – I’m not a rich person, you know? I started the bookstore with a $10,000 yearly income, so I always tell people, I know how to survive off of very little money.” She plans to continue doing pop-up sales events and the quarterly open mic night, although the money crunch has affected that event as well. “We cannot pay our headliners. So whatever poet chooses to accept the invite to headline, they’re doing it for free,” she says. The problem, she says, is not enough book buyers. “We won’t be able to maintain a brick and mortar if people don’t buy books,” she says. “If we don’t increase book sales significantly in the next couple months, then in March I’m going to have to probably announce that we’re definitely closing in June.” And while she says she’ll find a way to keep doing pop-ups and other events – she launched LibroMobile with a hand-me-down garden cart that gave the venture its name – “We won’t have a brick and mortar store, which is a really sad thing for our city, as the only independent bookstore in Santa Ana.” García makes one thing clear: Don’t blame her landlords. “We don’t pay market-rate rent. So when people say, ‘Oh, it’s your landlord, they should decrease it.’ That’s not true. They have been 100% supportive. They have not increased our rent because they know we’re in this situation,” she says. “They want to figure out how to make it work.” She says LibroMobile reciprocates by creating community events in English and Spanish at the Bristol Swap Meet to bring people to the food courts as well as by helping to fund the site’s murals with grant money and city support. “We’re more than a bookstore. We’re creating a place for our community where they can explore literature and the arts without having to pay for it,” she says, but adds that there are always costs to cover. “We have to pay a DJ. We have to pay for the equipment. Sometimes we have to rent chairs if we expect a bigger crowd for an event. So all those are additional costs.” But she’s committed to serving the community. “This is home for me ... Santa Ana is where I went to school and keep returning, even though I have nobody left here, other than friends and chosen family, my godparents. But it’s still what I call home.” Her father, Rafael Castillo García, worked for The Orange County Register for 10 years until he died unexpectedly in 1988 at age 36. She recalls how her father – who studied the paper to improve his language skills, attended community college and wrote poems he’d leave on the family refrigerator – would leave the house dressed in crisp slacks and a dress shirt. “He always dressed sharp to go to work, to try to impress us to have better jobs,” says García, who would learn about the physical nature of his work after his death. “I didn’t know he was a labor worker. I had to go empty his locker out, and I found the coveralls.” García says she has considered suggestions to start a crowdfunding campaign but ultimately decided against it. “I know I could probably set up a GoFundMe, but where would that take us a year or two from now? We’ll be in the same position. If I don’t cultivate the culture and the tradition in Santa Ana and Orange County, then we’re still not creating sustainability,” she says. “I’m trying to cultivate the want and the need of books, not just holding rent.” So what can local readers do to help? “I want them shopping at the bookstore. [laughs] We go days without someone buying a book sometimes,” she says. “We are the only bookstore in Santa Ana, but not just that. We’re the only bookstore in Orange County that prioritizes Black, Indigenous, and People of Color books, as well as Spanish, multicultural and bilingual books. We have a whole beautiful collection of BIPOC cookbooks – like, who does that, right? – on top of a special collection that prioritizes ethnic studies, gender studies and academic books at affordable prices.” SEE ALSO : Bestsellers, authors, books and more can be found in the Books section García underscores her commitment to keeping prices reasonable – or even free. She stocks a Little Free Library at the Bristol Swap Meet, too. “Maybe that’s why we’re not making enough money. But that’s the whole point of keeping books that are relevant to our community accessible and affordable,” she says. While she says that the store is proudly political, García thinks LibroMobile has something that benefits the entire community. ”If you don’t like our politics, there’s still plenty of other books you can read in our store,” she says. “We have something for everyone, but we’re also not going to hide our political stances for the sake of capitalism.” For more stories about : Sign up for our free Book Pages newsletter about bestsellers, authors and moreState Health Officials Say New Bird Flu Cases Detected in Arizona’s Maricopa CountyShares of Costco Wholesale were up nearly 1% on Friday morning after the retail giant reported better-than-expected first-quarter (Q1) 2025 earnings on the back of increased membership fees and higher e-commerce sales, lifting retail sentiment. The retailer topped Wall Street expectations reporting $4.04 in earnings per share, beating the consensus estimate of $3.79. Strong revenue growth, e-commerce sales, and membership fees contributed to the earnings. Costco's revenues stood at $62.15 billion, below the expected $66.52 billion quoted by analysts. Costco said shoppers bought items such as furniture, sporting goods, and hardware in bulk, which led to its e-commerce sales rising year over year by 13%. Its partnerships with Uber and Instacart also contributed to the rise, thanks to faster and cheaper deliveries. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits rose to ‘extremely bullish.’ Message volumes were in the ‘extremely high’ zone. In an earnings call later, Costco CEO Gary Millerchip reportedly said the company is prepared to adapt should tariffs be imposed by Donald Trump. According to him, tariffs could make some products more expensive or less valuable, and in such a scenario, the retailer is likely to consider different products. Analyst firm D.A. Davidson maintained a neutral rating on the stock. "COST’s offering is clearly resonating with consumers, but we maintain our Neutral rating with the stock trading at 54x consensus estimates for FY2025," the firm said, according to a report.

Unlike HbA1c, which reflects long-term glucose levels, glycated albumin measurements reflect shorter-term changes in blood glucose levels, typically over the preceding two to three weeks. This allows for timely intervention and adjustment of treatment plans, enabling healthcare providers to optimize diabetes management and reduce the risk of complications. * Sensitivity to Glycemic Variability: Glycated albumin assays are highly sensitive to glycemic variability. They can detect rapid fluctuations in blood glucose levels, providing a more dynamic representation of glycemic control. This sensitivity is particularly important for patients with conditions such as gestational diabetes, diabetes in children, and those with brittle diabetes who experience wide fluctuations in blood sugar levels. * Independence from Hemoglobin Variants: Unlike HbA1c, which can be affected by hemoglobin variants and conditions like anemia, glycated albumin measurements are not influenced by these factors. This independence ensures more accurate and reliable results, eliminating potential confounding factors and allowing for consistent monitoring of glycemic control across different patient populations. * Rapid Turnaround Time: Glycated albumin assays offer rapid turnaround times compared to other glycemic control markers. Results can be obtained within hours, providing timely information for clinical decision-making. This quick feedback is particularly valuable in emergency situations, postprandial monitoring, and for assessing treatment efficacy in real-time. * Personalized Medicine Approach: The glycated albumin assay supports a personalized medicine approach to diabetes management. It allows for individualized treatment plans based on a patient's unique glycemic patterns, helping to optimize therapies and achieve better glycemic control. This personalized approach can lead to improved patient outcomes and quality of life. * Integration with Digital Health Solutions: The glycated albumin assay can be integrated with digital health solutions and electronic medical records, enabling seamless data management and analysis. This integration facilitates remote monitoring, data sharing between healthcare providers and patients, and the generation of personalized reports and trends, enhancing patient engagement and self-management. * Market Growth Potential: With the increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide, the glycated albumin assay market has substantial growth potential. The demand for accurate and reliable glycemic control monitoring tools is rising, driven by the need for effective diabetes management, early intervention, and risk reduction. This market growth presents opportunities for innovation, technological advancements, and improved accessibility of glycated albumin testing. In summary, the glycated albumin assay market offers advantages such as early glycemic control assessment, sensitivity to glycemic variability, independence from hemoglobin variants, rapid turnaround time, personalized medicine approach, integration with digital health solutions, and significant growth potential. These advantages contribute to the growing importance of glycated albumin assays in diabetes management and highlight their potential to improve patient care and outcomes.

The comedian, who was baptized in April , posted on X, formerly Twitter , that 'Jesus loves Lily Phillips' after the 23-year-old went viral for bedding over 100 men in one night . Brand, who is a reformed sex addict, also used his sordid past to offer the young model some advice. 'I can relate,' he said in a video shared to social media. 'I know what it's like to commodify sex and to look to sex for some kind of fulfillment.' He continued, 'I would pray that all of us that have looked for love in the wrong places are able to find what it is we're truly looking for.' 'Dignity, sanctity, and sacred love with one another, rather than making everything profane.' The Rock of Ages star, 49, added, 'We've got to love one another. Forgive one another. There's a way home for all of us, and by individually changing we can change our culture to something beautiful.' Brand's touching message resonated with his followers, with many commenting and saying that they were praying for Lily. Russell Brand is offering support to OnlyFans star Lily Phillips following his recent conversion to Christianity The comedian, who was baptized in April, posted on X that 'Jesus loves Lily Phillips' after the 23-year-old went viral for bedding over 100 men in one night 'A true Christian, speaking to a lost young woman instead of chastising her. She just needs severe guidance and Jesus,' wrote one. 'God's light chased this man until it found him,' another commented.

However, some of Brand's more evangelical fans were concerned by his support of the X-rated performer. 'You really need to be careful with statements like this. It implies you can do whatever you want. Does God have unconditional love for us all? Yes absolutely but he ALSO calls us to repent of our sins,' one warned. Another wrote, 'Jesus loves everyone, but only grants salvation to those who love and serve Him.' Former Buddhist Brand was baptized back in April, calling it an opportunity 'to die and be reborn.' In October 2023, he faced serious accusations from a series of women, including rape and sexual assault when four women made allegations. The actor has strenuously denied wrongdoing, and says he has evidence to refute allegations. Lily went viral for sleeping with 100 men in one night and has plans to bed 1,000 in 24 hours as part of her next sexual stunt The young model broke down in tears after sleeping with 100 different men Lily, 23, bedded the men back in October to create content for her OnlyFans page, and also chronicled the experience for the Goon Squad Productions YouTube documentary, I Slept With 100 Men in One Day. While she had publicly portrayed the stunt in a positive light, the documentary reveals that Lily was an emotional wreck behind the scenes. Visibly sobbing, Lily told host Josh Pieters, 'Sometimes you just disassociate... it's not like normal sex at all.' She continued, 'In my head I can think of five, six guys, 10 guys that I remember. And that's it. It's just weird, isn't it? If I didn't have the videos I wouldn't have known that I'd done a hundred.' The young woman also admitted that she felt 'robotic' during the act, on top of being racked with guilt that she wasn't giving all the men the experience that they wanted. Former Buddhist Brand was baptized back in April, calling it an opportunity 'to die and be reborn' 'I guess when you've promised something to people who support you it's kinda hard to let them down,' she said through tears. Lily also issued a warning to young girls planning to follow in her footsteps. 'It's not for the weak girls, if I'm honest. It was hard. I don't know if I'd recommend it. It's a different feeling. It's just one in one out, it feels intense,' she said. Despite her poor experience bedding 100 men, Lily is determined to raise the bar by sleeping with 1,000 men in 24 hours for her next sexual stunt.

The low utilization rate, delayed procurement, and omissions committed by the Department of Education (DepEd) in 2023 have significantly contributed to a whopping P12 billion reduction in its budget for next year, administration lawmakers said Monday. Under the approved bicameral report for the P6.352 trillion expenditure for fiscal year 2025, the DepEd’s budget saw a nearly P12 billion cut, P10 billion of which was intended for the agency's computerization program. Initially, DepEd was allotted P748.6 billion before it was trimmed down to P737 billion by the bicam panel, sparking public backlash for its potential unconstitutionality. Zambales Rep. Jefferson Khonghun asserted that the education sector remains a top government priority but deficiencies in budget utilization during Vice President Sara Duterte’s stint as DepEd secretary were observed. This includes the computerization program, in which a large number of laptops went undelivered. “We financed that during the time that Vice President Sara Duterte was still the Department of Education secretary [but] what happened was many laptops that are still in the warehouses that have actually not yet been delivered,” Khonghun told reporters. “So, they need to explain first what are the programs, and how will they use the money given to them by our government. Because we could not just give them [money] without accounting for how they used the funds,” he added. During the budget deliberations in September, the DepEd confirmed that there are 12,022 laptops for teaching personnel and 7,558 laptops for non-teaching staff were still undelivered by year-end 2023. The delay in the delivery of the computers and laptops, which amounted to P9.17 billion, persists despite the current student-to-computer ratio being 9:1 and the teacher-to-computer ratio being 30:1. Meanwhile, Tingog Rep. Jude Acidre contended that inefficiencies in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in delivering infrastructure projects should not be grounds to deny the agency its much-needed allocation increase of P1.113 trillion. “It's not the delivery of computers that has delayed DPWH projects. It often has something to do with climate, natural disasters,” Acidre said in the same briefing. “We [have to] remember that the size of the infrastructure will always be the size of [our] economic growth,” he added. With the significant budget cut of DepEd, Khonghun the agency must first improve its utilization rate before they implement any budget adjustments. Based on findings from the Commission on Audit that have yet to be made public, DepEd during Duterte’s tenure disbursed only 2.75 billion of P11.36 billion allocated for information and communication technology in 2023. “During the past administration, DepEd was notorious for delayed procurement and its failure to uphold transparency and accountability,” Khonghun said. “So, the Department of Education should really prove now that it has changed and that it has improved the responsibility of spending of our government funds,” he averred,” the lawmaker concluded. Nevertheless, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has pledged to restore the budget slashed from the DepEd following public uproar. “So, we're working on it to make sure that we will restore it. I do not want to line item veto anything because that just gets in the way. So we're still talking about it and trying to find a way,” the President committed.

The Chicago Bears practiced without D’Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, and Gervon Dexter on Friday Per reports, the three Chicago Bears did not see the practice field on Friday leading up to the squad’s lone Monday night contest of the campaign. This is the second time the team is seeing Minnesota this season, with the game in Chicago resulting in a Bears comeback that came up just short. It was the first Vikings game this year where players began to lash out against head coach Matt Eberflus The team is amid a seven-game losing streak in which Eberflus was shown the door following the Thanksgiving loss in Detroit. Having Swift and company would be preferred for this Monday night tilt, but the Chicago Bears might need to begin considering what they would do if they are all unable to suit up in week 15. This is Deja Vu for the Chicago Bears’ running backs with limited practice participation Swift and Johnson were both struggling to find their way onto the practice field last week leading up to the road battle against San Francisco. When it came time for the final injury report to come out, it revealed that Swift was good to go, but Johnson was unable to dress. Swift was on the injury report last week due to a tweaked quad, but this week it is a groin issue for the Chicago Bears’ lead back. Johnson suffered a concussion during the Detroit game a couple of weeks ago and it has him in real danger of missing his second straight game. In his absence, veteran special teamer Travis Homer has stepped up in the backup role. With his success as a goal line guy this season, the Chicago Bears would like to have Johnson back in the fold sooner rather than later. The Chicago Bears could be in trouble without Gervon Dexter Dexter is enjoying a fantastic second season in the NFL. The former Florida Gator has had a relatively injury-free campaign up until this point. With the team missing nose tackle Andrew Billings for the rest of the year, they can’t afford to lose any more beef in their defensive front. Through 13 games, Dexter has 23 solo tackles and five sacks as one of the biggest success stories on the Chicago Bears defense this year. With the next best interior lineman being Zacch Pickens , the Chicago Bears will be stretched extremely thin if Dexter cannot go on Monday. These three will get another chance to participate in practice on Saturday before the team makes the trek to Minnesota.

Anne Neuberger, the U.S. deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology, told reporters on a call that the unnamed telecom was added to the list after the U.S. government shared guidance on how to detect and defend against the operation. Officials have previously alleged that the attackers targeted Verizon, AT&T, Lumen and others. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Dec. 18 urged senior government and political figures to move mobile communications to end-to-end encrypted apps as a result of the Salt Typhoon campaign, which has targeted officials associated with the campaign of former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance, according to reports. Officials have said "a large number of Americans' metadata was taken" as part of the campaign. Chinese officials have previously described the allegations as disinformation and said Beijing "firmly opposes and combats cyber attacks and cyber theft in all forms." Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, a Democrat from New Mexico, called Salt Typhoon the "largest telecommunications hack in our nation's history" during a Dec. 11 hearing, while Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said the U.S. "must plug any vulnerabilities in communications networks." Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said Dec. 5 her agency was proposing rules requiring telecommunications carriers to secure their networks in light of the Salt Typhoon revelations. Neuberger said Friday that the "Chinese gained access to networks and essentially had broad and full access," giving them the capability to "geolocate millions of individuals, to record phone calls at will," and that updated FCC rules could help limit the scope and impact of future intrusions.
