SCOTUS: Carpenter vs United States (2018): "Individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the comprehensive record of their physical movements."
Flock cameras are in direct violation of the 4th Amendment.
This is where the rubber meets the road 🚨
When the Senate is back in Session on Monday... Ted Cruz will chair the rules committee... bc of McConnell's absence
There are procedural moves he can make to advance the Save America Act
Is Cruz one of us... we're about to find out
In 1991, Andre Dawson was called out on strikes by Cowboy Joe West and ejected for arguing the call. He was then fined $500 by the National League and paid it via a check with the memo line filled out “Donation for the blind.” True story. I love Andre Dawson.
Why isn’t anyone in Maine demanding an investigation and/or prosecution of Graham Platner for rape? It’s well within the statute of limitations. If Dems really believe he’s a rapist, why is the only penalty he can’t run for senate? With @CharlesHurt:
🚨 The U.S. State Department SHUT DOWN a Planned Meeting Between Iran and Communist NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Administration.
Ana María Archila, a senior Mamdani official, was set to meet with Iranian representatives at the U.N. on Tuesday
When the Trump Administration found out, the State Department stepped in and CANCELED the meeting.
Mamdani can’t be allowed to undermine U.S. foreign policy.
The thing that I keep thinking about is:
If the Senate is willing to withhold information from the American people about its own colleagues,
how can we even trust them for a second when they say, “We don’t have the votes.”
What else are they withholding?
Dear @fortworthpd,
Retired federal prosecutor here. I see you’ve blocked @libsoftiktok.
As a public law enforcement agency, you are constitutionally barred from viewpoint-based censorship of citizens on your social media platforms — especially those critical of your department. Courts, including the Fifth Circuit, have repeatedly held that such actions violate the First Amendment.
See, e.g., Robinson v. Hunt County, Texas, 921 F.3d 440 (5th Cir. 2019) (sheriff’s office blocking critics on its public Facebook page constituted impermissible viewpoint discrimination).
I strongly suggest you unblock the account immediately. Chaya Raichik (@ChayaRaichik10) is providing the kind of public accountability and transparency your department could only dream of delivering to the citizens of Fort Worth.

🚨BREAKING: Mitch McConnell’s health update takes a bizarre turn after a neighbor says the ambulance that responded had “no urgency” as Mitch’s lifeless feet were not covered by a blanket.
McConnell had been in the hospital for over a month. This is now a coverup.
We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.
The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
A SpaceX engineer once watched Elon Musk reject a part that cost $120,000 from an aerospace supplier because he believed SpaceX could build the same thing themselves for $3,000.
The engineering team thought he was insane.
He walked into the machine shop, sat down with two junior engineers, and started sketching an alternative design on scrap paper. For the next 14 hours he didn't leave. He didn't eat. He barely spoke except to ask technical questions or reject ideas that didn't reduce cost.
By morning they had a working design. They manufactured it for $3,900. It performed identically to the $120,000 part.
The engineer who was there said that was the day he understood why SpaceX was different from every other aerospace company. It was that the CEO would personally sit in a machine shop for 14 hours to save $116,000 on a single component. Multiply that obsession across every part on every rocket and you get a company that launches for one tenth the cost of its competitors.
Most CEOs approve budgets. Elon approves bolts. That's the difference between running a space company and revolutionizing space travel.
Florida, is rolling out AI-powered cameras on its garbage trucks to scan properties for code violations, unpermitted renovations, & other issues. After installing FLOCK cameras on poles, the city is now adding mobile surveillance from trash trucks to monitor homes and yards. 🤦🏻♂️🤡
In 1916, a pack of dogs attacked a private zoo in Hawaii. Two terrified wallabies broke out of their cage and escaped into the mountains.
What happened next is one of the wildest accidents in wildlife history.
After the wallabies vanished into the forested cliffs of Kalihi Valley, the zoo's owner called for a massive public hunt. Nobody caught them.
A local newspaper joked that they might eventually "produce a breed of Hawaiian wallabies."They were exactly right.
Despite being 5,000 miles from Australia, the steep volcanic rock faces in Hawaii turned out to be the perfect habitat.
By 1984, researchers counted roughly 250 wallabies thriving in the valley. They had even started developing their own unique evolutionary characteristics.
The craziest part?
They aren't considered invasive.They only eat non-native plants.
They don't compete with native species (Hawaii has no native land mammals).
Because they peacefully coexist with the ecosystem, the state of Hawaii officially protects them. It is strictly illegal to hunt or harm a Hawaiian wallaby.
Back in their native Australia, the brush-tailed rock wallaby is fighting for its life. Predators, habitat clearing, and the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires wiped out an estimated 70% of their remaining habitat.
But that accidental Honolulu colony?
They have no foxes. No feral cats in the cliffs. No bushfires.
Two wallabies that broke out of a cage 110 years ago accidentally founded what might be the most secure population of their species anywhere on Earth.
Florida Senator Ashley Pro Forma's primary is August 18th. She has 3 Republican challengers.
Florida Patriots who want to put an end to her gaveling in Pro Forma sessions to block Pres Trump should agree to rally around one of the challengers - to NOT dilute the vote.
