New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

I want to live in a country where corporations can’t buy our politicians.
NEW: Palantir just got EXPOSED for donating millions to Trump's ballroom.
Under Trump, the company has received up to $11B in DOD contracts.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas.
My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries.
My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent.
My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor.
Their policies are the reason.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy just said: 'We will continue to bomb Russian data centers.'
Republicans responded by accusing him of interfering in the US midterms.
Why would bombing Russian data centers hurt Republicans in our elections?

New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: anthropic.com/engineering/re…

In the past 24 hours...
1. We found out that data centers are bot farms
2. Bot farms play a direct role in changing public opinion and changing elections
3. Billionaires desperately support and want data centers
I think it's safe to say that billionaires are the catalyst for the far-right rise we've seen globally...

This is a wake-up call. Our social media is being manipulated by foreign agents with the express intention of sowing hatred, mistrust, and misinformation among Americans.
Russia is behind a lot of it, using programs designed to disrupt our country and turn us against each other. We should be cynical about what we see on social media, and not fall for the rage bait.
This is also a national security issue and if the social media companies dont take immediate action, they are complicit. It's time for real regulation that requires them to find and shut down foreign bot networks, and holds them accountable when they don't.

We’ve been talking about this for years.
None of these far-right movements are organic.

When @POTUS's son-in-law and business confidant are his emissaries to the Kremlin, and they're discussing business deals with Putin, how in the world can we separate Trump's personal dealings from his decision to put his finger on Russia's side of the scale in Ukraine?
Everyone can thank Ukraine for helping every tech company identify Russian bots. A gift to the world and not just their own defense.

Another bad jobs report.
-Only 29k jobs added, far below expectations of 90k
-July and August jobs revised downwards by 60k
-Unemployment rate rose to 4.2%
What have trump and Republicans been focused on? Renaming bodies of water and renaming AI.
November is coming.
BREAKING: The U.S. added just 29,000 jobs in September, far below the 90,000 expected.
Unemployment rose to 4.2% from 4.1%. Wage growth also slowed to 3% year-over-year, its lowest annual pace since May 2021.
And the previous numbers got worse too: August was revised down to 133,000 jobs, while July was revised from a gain of 21,000 to a loss of 10,000. Altogether, July and August were revised down by 60,000 jobs.

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL?
The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?”
Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr says that new pro-Trump TV ads paid for with government funds don’t “merit any sort of FCC review.” nbcnews.com/politics/trump-a…
