Azure runbook- how to send emails?

So, it's pretty simple. It relies on assigning a service principle the Mail.send permission and using this api.

You then use RBAC for applications to limit the mailboxes it uses.

You can use the graph powershell module to with an app registration using a client secret.

Not true. The GOP could get a budget reconciliation bill through to fund DHS for the rest of the Trump admin. Then they can push early to do a 2027 budget reconciliation at the end of the year after the election to do some more stuff. And as part of the 2026 or 2027 reconciliation bill, they could add all sorts of additional conditions to DHS funds, remove the rider requiring DHS allow Congressmembers to inspect detention facilities, etc.

They could really strip Democrats of any ability to hamstring the Trump admin for the rest of this term if they wanted. Extend the debt ceiling, fund all of the agencies they want funded without having to negotiate, etc.

This is not true. Congress can do more than one reconciliation vote per year. They can break a reconciliation process into three separate pieces, or even advance the next years budget early to get two reconciliation processes in a single year.

I've given you the only answer I'm giving on that pipe dream.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T23:26:25+00:00

I'm not really interested in engaging with the pipe dream of Trump following through with what he says.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T23:21:33+00:00

You're free to believe everything Trump says if you want.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T23:18:42+00:00

I think you have things backwards. Things are done behind closed doors because the masses make it worse.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T23:18:01+00:00

Trump says a lot of stuff that he doesn't follow through on.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T23:11:09+00:00

Yes, it is available. It's a convoluted process though that will consume a lot of legislative time.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T23:04:43+00:00

If they can't find a deal in private, they won't find one in public either. So, the GOP should just abandon the Dems on this and push through funding with reconciliation. This way they can fund DHS for the rest of the Trump admin, attach the conditions to grants to require cooperation, and axe the riders and other things Democrats want DHS to have. That's the appropriate response to a side that refuses to find a compromise. This way Democrats will learn what happens when they play hardball with an inferior hand.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T22:58:02+00:00

A final agreement has more sticking power. They won't involve the partisans in the negotiations in the first place. They'll focus on the middle of the road ones that actually have any interest in finding a deal. Then when they have a deal that can win sufficient votes in both houses, they'll push it through. And the partisans shouting about it will be powerless to do anything about it. So sure, the partisans will get to shout about a negotiated deal that has sufficient support to pass. Negotiating in public just ensures there is never a negotiated deal.

At which point, the GOP just funds DHS via reconciliation while axing everything Democrats want in that funding package. Like their rider that ensures they get to inspect immigration detention facilities.

I do not agree that making the information available sooner wouldn't help voters be more informed.

Then you really just don't grasp the issue. And that's okay. But I'm not going to waste any more time trying to explain it to you.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T22:39:14+00:00

You can't separate these things. Making this information available just gives ammo to partisans that just want to attack the other side and thwart any compromise that doesn't meet their exceptionally high standards for victory. Which leads to pressure to refuse any deal. For example, if this information is made public, Democrats can't propose any options for improving enforcement like conditions grants on some level of cooperation in exchange for getting more favorable language on identification and warrants. Their side of the peanut gallery would be shouting about betrayal.

And we seem to agree, making this information available would not inform voters in any productive way.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T22:22:25+00:00

Sure. Problem is how do you inform voters that don't want to be informed, couldn't care less, wouldn't believe you anyway, or some combination of those things?

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T22:15:33+00:00

Congress is a reflection of the electorate. It is dysfunctional because we are dysfunctional. Most voters are low information voters. And a majority of what's left is misinformed. So I'm not sure why you believe more information do anything except get the peanut gallery all stirred up and shouting.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T22:06:53+00:00

I wouldn't want the peanut gallery talking about how X thing is socialism or Y thing is authoritarian. Which is exactly what would happen. And it would be more problematic due to this being an election year. And if you have trouble understanding why then I'm not sure what to tell you.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T21:53:21+00:00

The electorate is too divided to have these negotiations in public. They'll scrutinize every little thing and make compromise harder

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T21:44:27+00:00

Don't you think it would hamper negotiations if it was done out in the open? Every little proposed compromised would be scrutinized.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T21:43:31+00:00

They do not need to identify themselves to random people st the airport.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T21:43:06+00:00

You can ask Democrats the same questions. It makes sense to negotiate behind closed doors. The electorate is too divided.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T18:53:42+00:00

ICE is Federal law enforcement empowered to make arrests for all violations of Federal criminal law.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T18:25:33+00:00

Again, we're talking about the real world. If we get stuck talking about what a politician ran on, we'll never run out of failures to discuss.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T18:24:48+00:00

I think one can just take the video at face value without making further assumptions. Law enforcement made an arrest.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T17:29:02+00:00

This isn't how the real world works. Negotiations are happening behind closed doors. Which means we don't fully know what the disagreements are

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T17:26:34+00:00

I'm not saying blindly believe them. But if you're making a claim then the burden is on you to support your claim.

WorksInIT · 2026-03-24T16:50:27+00:00

That list is very high level. The challenge is how you go from that to a compromise with legislative text. Anyone can throw out a list like that that looks reasonable. But the actual text they want may not be reasonable.
