[Hey Jo🤍 @joe_jo9]

BREAKING: this needs ATTENTION:

Greg Abbott just spent $4.5 million on four Chevy Tahoes loaded with surveillance technology from Israeli company Cognyte.

The four vehicles cost $600,000 total. The remaining $3.9 million went toward the surveillance technology and related equipment.

The system can mimic a cell tower, causing nearby phones, including those of people who aren’t suspects, to connect so authorities can identify and track them.

Texas taxpayers just funded $4.5 million in Israeli-made mobile surveillance units to spy on Texans every move.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Imagine saying you can’t run as a Democrat because of the DSA, which doesn’t actually control the Democratic Party, but you can run as a Republican, when fascists and white supremacists and election deniers literally run that party.
Sigh.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Oh my God. They’ve hired a guy convicted of hacking into election websites to oversee election security?

[Let's Go TACO @goonie5000]

@karlykingsley I don't think we ever put it back together, after all this damage done

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

‼️ Trump DOJ has hired David Michael Levin as an election monitor…

In 2016 Florida investigators charged Levin with hacking into restricted county and state election websites. Levin pleaded guilty.

Here is a thought experiment that several analysts keep returning to: if a president actually wanted to dismantle American superpower status, what would he be doing differently from what Trump is doing right now?

Consider the record. He has feuded with NATO and cast doubt on the alliance guarantee that anchored Western security for 70 years. He has slapped tariffs on the EU and individual European allies, and this week launched a 50 percent trade war against Canada, America's closest partner.

He has pressured South Korea and Japan over troop costs while courting their adversaries.

Gulf states, battered by the Iran war, now question the American security umbrella so openly that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan just signed their own mutual defence pact.

Sanctions and Hormuz chaos are pushing oil trade toward the yuan, eroding the dollar's reserve role while national debt passes 40 trillion. And through it all, he speaks warmly of Putin and Kim Jong Un while insulting the billion people living under allied flags.

Superpower status rests on three pillars: alliances, the dollar, and credibility. All three are being sawed at simultaneously.

So what explains it?

Option A: sheer ignorance, a government that simply does not understand how the world works.

Option B: revenge, a man settling scores with an establishment he believes wronged him.

Option C: outside pressure, someone else's interests being served.

None of these options is comforting. And the pattern remains the same whichever one you pick.

I never once heard Biden complain about the mess Trump left him...he just put his head down, worked hard to get the country back on track after COVID and turned us around...good job Joe

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

EXCLUSIVE: Ten years ago, David Michael Levin was convicted of hacking into government election websites.

Now, he appears to have been hired by the Trump DOJ to...wait for it...monitor elections. https://t.co/a4x0e6oM3L

🚨 TRUMP TRIED TO CLAIM CREDIT FOR CHEAPER GAS — THE REPORTER SHOT IT DOWN. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Trump: “I have brought down the gas price from the highs of the Biden regime.”

🇺🇸 Reporter: “That’s not true.”

🇺🇸 Trump: “Then what is true?”

🇺🇸 Reporter: “Gas was $3 per gallon when Biden left office. Now it is $4 per gallon.”

🇺🇸 Trump: “Shut up. You are fake news.”

He asked for the truth.

The reporter gave him the numbers.

Trump's response? “Fake news.”👏

American journalists are literally cooking Trump.

[Lara Korte @lara_korte]

Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.

[David Doney @David_Charts2]

Since 1965, there have been 6 fiscal years when federal spending fell relative to the preceding year:

🔵1965 - LBJ
🔵2010 - Obama
🔵2012 - Obama
🔵2013 - Obama
🔵2022 - Biden
🔵2023 - Biden

No Republican president in the last 60 years has cut spending vs. prior year.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Rosie O’Donnell has lived rent-free in Trump’s head for nearly 20 years. She knows how to shatter his ego psychologically better than anyone on Earth.

​Whatever you do, definitely do NOT retweet this video. He would absolutely lose his mind. 😂👇

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Remember when the Panama Papers came out, revealed that all rich people in the world are part of enormous criminal network to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts, and the journalist who reported was murdered by a car bomb, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that there are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men and women who raped, cannibalized, trafficked, filmed, terrorized, tortured, hunted, and murdered 13, 14, 15 year children, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that the United States literally kidnapped a sitting president of a foreign country and his wife and they’ve just been sitting in jail for the past 6 months, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that there are two genocides—one in Gaza and the other in Lebanon—and that there are arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

This is what will happen—and continue to happen—if we do not unite to enforce international law.

Never forget that Donald Trump bombed a school full of little girls on the first day of his illegal war on Iran.

160 children and 26 teachers were killed.

Then he lied about it and blamed Iran.

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

A lion? All I see is a convicted felon and a child-raping pedophile waddling away from reporters because he’s scared they’ll ask him about his crimes. That’s no lion, that’s a little bitch.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Around $12 trillion, or roughly 30% of today's entire $40 trillion U.S. national debt, was added by the two Trump administrations.

Vance is lying. As usual.

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

America needs to come to grips with this. The president of the United States raped children. And the Attorney General is breaking the law by covering up that fact. We can’t just go about our business because we can’t do anything about it and the media ignore it. Let it be KNOWN.
