We must stop propping up billionaires and start lifting up everyday Americans. People are losing everything, cards are maxed for bills, food, rent, insurance.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 JUDGE SLAMS ISRAELI SPYWARE FIRM OVER WHATSAPP SPYWARE LAWSUIT

A federal judge sanctioned Israeli spyware firm NSO Group for dodging court orders in WhatsApp’s lawsuit over Pegasus, the spyware that allegedly hacked 1,400 phones, including those of journalists and activists.

NSO tried blaming Israeli law for refusing to share the full source code, offering access only in Israel.

The judge called the excuse “simply impracticable” for a U.S. trial and hit NSO with sanctions, saying it broke U.S. computer fraud laws.

Nice try, though.

Pegasus lets hackers control your phone’s camera, mic, and location—even through a missed call.

NSO insists it only sells to “vetted” governments, but the U.S. blacklisted it in 2021.

WhatsApp Spokesperson:

“After five years of litigation, we're grateful for today's decision.

NSO can no longer avoid accountability for their unlawful attacks on WhatsApp, journalists, human rights activists and civil society."

@ewarren Remember when you and the @DNC prevented @BernieSanders from becoming the democratic nominee. That’s how this happened. Don’t whine about it now.

@bsfarrington @UHC If insurance companies want to play doctor, they should be open to medical malpractice suits.

I’m at a cancer treatment center getting my 27th dose of radiation. My doctor recommends 35. @UHC refuses to pay for more than 28. I’ve fought them for weeks to get full treatment approved. This is my Hail Mary to hopefully get them to reconsider.

Billionaires can write off the entire cost of their private jets and yachts on their taxes, but teachers can only write off up to $300 of school supplies for their classrooms.

This is what an oligarchy looks like.

New federally funded study:

Youth marijuana use is now lower than when states started legalizing for adults, and students say cannabis is harder to obtain—contrary to claims from prohibitionists who feared the reform would lead to increased teen use.

62% of Americans support Medicare for All. Perhaps it’s time for Democrats to actually support policies that people widely support instead of catering to their corporate donors.

The people are fed up with the Democratic establishment and November shows that.

It lies on them.

Michigan cannabis sales break $3 Billion annually for the first time. Consumers clearly want their cannabis. It’s time to federally legalize it.

We need a ban on stock trading by members of Congress. I am sure vast majority of our constituents would agree.

@RyanAcker12 @SenSchumer 💯 @DOGE Is gonna stop the hemorrhaging of money spent on LE and justice system efforts to keep it illegal, plus the tax revenue 🤤

@DOGE @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy Efficient governance means smart regulation. Legalize cannabis in the farm bill. It would streamline oversight, reduce administrative burden, and respect state autonomy - all while generating revenue. #TrumpForCannabis

[Izzy @izzyonit]

@DOGE The US is incentivized to legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis sales nationwide. Here's what they bring in for alcohol. @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy Why not double that with weed!

[Smitty 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 @justaburner6969]

@elonmusk any way you can fit federal legalization of marijuana on to the @DOGE agenda? I mean we have 30+ trillion dollar deficit and the projection of federal tax revenue from legalization is in the billions of dollars not to mention the pay roll taxes that would be generated.

[Michael D. @_Maker_Mike]

@jbohn3 @Chaos2Cured @elonmusk I’ve wondered about this. It costs the government a lot of money to keep it illegal so that would align with their goals. Probably not high on their list but it could definitely generate tax revenue while saving enforcement and judicial costs.
