on a personal level this (and bot responses) makes me want to argue even less about politics online, which I'm sure is partly the goal: to dominate the online conversation. I think the best thing is just to be loud about your own values and opinions and not bother arguing with strangers about it

This is an absolutely catastrophic data breach of an identity verification vendor 150+ million drivers license scans that includes photos, address, license numbers etc.

It includes Pete Hegseth, security researchers, and even the deputy director of the FBI.

A screenshot of a search result on a website titled "NEXUS | Identity Document Database" showing a locked Minnesota driver's license record for "PETER HEG******." A driver's license portrait of Peter Hegseth appears on the left, next to mostly redacted information fields, including ID number, birth date (1980), and address, followed by a prompt to purchase the full record for $100.00.
