FLASHBACK — Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): “I don’t want everybody to vote… our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.” They’ve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. 🗳️ 🇺🇸

Imagine living in Texas and hearing Republicans campaign on “FIXING TEXAS” when they’ve controlled the state government for 30 years. At what point do voters realize Republicans are campaigning against their own damn record?

And yet again, another Trump family scandal, with the same Putin crony ONCE AGAIN in bed with Trump Jr. The same Putin crony that paid for the Trump family's two day island party is now continuously involved in the Trump family's personal lives. The Financial Times reveals that Trump Jr. just spent two days hunting in Mongolia with Umar Kremlev, to whom Putin awarded Russia's Order of Friendship in April. Kremlev paid had only recently paid for two nights of celebrations in the Bahamas, including a private island costing approximately $100,000 per night and a fireworks display costing around $70,000. Payments were routed through a Dubai company affiliated with his boxing organization. Trump Jr. and his wife acknowledged the gifts. President Trump subsequently said his son would reimburse Kremlev. The relationship has now prompted a congressional investigation into possible public corruption and national security risks. Former FBI counterintelligence officials warn that Russian intelligence routinely uses money and personal relationships to cultivate access to powerful Americans. The president's son is accepting extraordinary hospitality from a businessman connected to Putin's security establishment, while his father directs American foreign policy toward Russia.
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

Sabotage and treason when he throttled Ukraine’s internet. Voter fraud several times over. Creation and propagation of CSAM. Violations of several federal laws during DOGE. Sexual assault. That’s just off the top of my head from the things he did publicly.
No one has even proposed a crime Elon has committed. Which means we’re now doing third-world pure power politics. Okay. Not ideal, but we can play this game too.

This literally just exists to hunt and kill people. This isn't like building a missile or a gun, those devices kill rapidly. This is a weapon of terror. It stalks you relentlessly. You can run but you'll only die tired and scared. This makes the flamethrower look like a weapon of mercy. We really need some kind of modern Geneva convention. Jesus.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

We’re watching companies dismantle human livelihoods to fund the very AI systems threatening our jobs, and barely anyone seems alarmed. How is replacing workers with AI not one of the biggest political and economic debates happening in the world right now?

The man who has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime never says anything positive about his guy Ken Paxton. But he does serve up a steady diet of this stuff.

Ethics need to be much more strongly taught and discussed in technical universities. Important rule to keep in mind: "ust because we can, doesn't mean we should!"
We really gotta teach STEM majors the importance of not making things sometimes

Obama wrecked him.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

We’ve normalized companies laying off thousands of workers as if people’s livelihoods are just numbers on a spreadsheet. Where is the corporate accountability? Employees shouldn’t have to bear the consequences of every bad decision made in the boardroom.

"Whatever dark power Trump has that has enabled him to become president twice while being quite literally one of the most morally despicable human beings on Earth, it’s not easily duplicated by your average Republican candidate for Senate, House, or governor. When candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy ask 'What would Trump do?' then do that thing, they often find that the voters respond with, 'What an atrocious jerk. I’m definitely not voting for that guy.'" publicnotice.co/p/vivek-rama…

This is singlehandedly the biggest difference between right wingers and everybody else in modern day politics. When centrists or left leaning parties lose a democratic election, they concede and try again a couple years later. When right wingers lose, they scream election fraud and hope that it sticks without even understanding that the acceptance of an election is the single most important thing in democratic societies. Actively destroying the populations trust in the results can not be in anyone's interest who wants to keep the democracy alive.

If millions of immigrants are deported and you’re still broke, can’t afford a home, or pay your medical bills, maybe immigrants were never your problem. I support immigration laws, but stop blaming hardworking people for an economy that was failing you long before they arrived.

He just told his cult that he knows they’re paying more for gas, but the oil companies are making “a lot of freaking money.” He meant HE is. HE is making a lot of freaking money. And WE are all paying for it.
FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un

Don’t forget the feeling you had in 2024 when all the “experts” were telling you we would win, and then we got wiped out. Remember that feeling? Don’t get complacent. VOTE.

You have to work about 10 years to qualify for Social Security. A member of Congress earns a pension for life after 5 years in office. They wrote both rules.
