The Trump Admin Just Revealed A New Passport Design — And People Have A LOT To Say

As far as the new design, some will undoubtedly be thrilled with it, while others will likely be more ambivalent,
We don’t know whether this new design will become the only version available then, though it’s reasonable to assume it will,
The online application is the part I’d call real progress,
Assuming the state department can deliver on what was demonstrated, this would represent a meaningful improvement for Americans who travel abroad,
One other note is that the new passport will be standardized at 38 pages ―currently you can opt for a 26- or 50-page version,
I’ve looked at the proposed cover for a while, and it’s the largest coat of arms I’ve seen on any passport,

White House Responds To Security Concerns About New AI Tool: 'These Researchers Are Idiots'

America.gov is already a punchline for Democrats to share how the chatbot’s answers to questions radically contradict President Donald Trump’s own past statements about who won the 2020 election

My initial concern is that this team is already known for abusing public trust and not following proper IT security protocols,
When you apply for government benefits, you are responsible for making sure your application is true and correct,
They’re not storing queries, but they are storing information about visits. That’s still data,
I would absolutely advise against submitting sensitive information or using it to apply for any benefits when those features are added,
It’s not fair to call people idiots if they have suspicions around how this particular administration is handling their information, specifically their sensitive government information,
Especially when it comes to services like applying for Medicare, something that is personal and so necessary, it’s best to not just rely on this,
‘I... I’m a 70-year-old veteran living in Arizona, and I recently got a cancer diagnosis. I got laid off, so I lost my employer insurance last month, and I need help figuring out what the benefits are for me as a veteran. How can I apply for Medicare? What will cover my treatment?
These researchers are idiots. No data or messages will be stored by America.gov, nor will they be shared with Gemini or Grok for LLM [large language model] training,
Make sure that what it’s saying is verified because we are seeing inconsistent things come from this administration,
