Blitzer asked Sanders about means testing and if millionaires and benefits deserve to get benefits. The Democratic presidential candidate answered, “They’re not talking about millionaires and billionaires. They’re talking about lowering it to forty thousand dollars a year…It’s a universal program. Everybody deserves to put into it. Everybody deserves to get a benefit out of it. We can extend that program by not asking anybody more than the top two percent to contribute into it.” Republicans love to talk about “saving Social Security” and entitlement reform. What they don’t tell the American people is that they plan to save the program by killing it.

A state prosecutor says a co-pilot with a history of depression who crashed a Germanwings airliner into the French Alps had reached out to dozens of doctors ahead of the disaster, a revelation that suggests Andreas Lubitz was seeking advice about an undisclosed ailment. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin, in comments to The Associated Press, would not address the question of what symptoms Lubitz was assessing.

U.S. officials told NBC News that, so far, the breach doesn't appear to be the "worst-case scenario"—compromise and disclosure of the identities of the covert CIA agents. But they said the breach—which exploited a "zero day" vulnerability, meaning one that was previously unknown—could be the biggest cyberattack in U.S. history, potentially affecting every agency of the U.S. government. As many as 4 million current and former government employees will be sent notices beginning Monday that their personal information—including names, Social Security numbers and birthdates—might have been hacked at the Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, the agency that screens and hires federal workers and approves security clearances for 90 percent of the federal government, officials told NBC News.

An effort to use a fake, life-sized orca to scare off hundreds of sea lions crowding docks off the Oregon coast ended, at least temporarily, with the fiberglass creature belly-up after it was swamped by a passing ship. Still, Port of Astoria Executive Director Jim Knight said the sea lions briefly “got deathly silent” when the orca sailed into view. That was just before it started listing and tipped over Thursday night.

Motoman-MH24 is a 286kg high-speed industrial robot made by Japan’s Yaskawa Electric Corporation. The Yaskawa Bushido Project is a short video clip showing Japanese master swordsman and five times world record holder Isao Machii teach Motoman-MH24 the way of the sword. The company have made this promotional clip to celebrate what they dub “manufacturing spirit” as they near their 100th anniversary. To date, Machii has demonstrated some pretty radical feats with his blade: slicing a flying shrimp pelleted at him at 80mph in half, and a neon ball flung at him at 150mph, are just some of the things the dude can do.
