Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.
I searched a Gaza war crimes archive for my family.
I quickly realized I wasn’t using it the way most people would. I wasn’t browsing it as an activist, researcher or journalist.
I was looking for my family.
My heart sank as I filtered the archive by the dates we lost them and searched for someone I loved.
I found footage I hadn’t seen before of the bombing of the Church of St. Porphyrius, where my cousin Soliman was killed.
I searched for the day my great aunt Elham was murdered, and the day Nahida and Samar Anton were killed by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Catholic Church.
Eyewitnesses told us Elham was crushed by an Israeli tank. I have graphic photographs of her body that were sent to me by church workers in Gaza, but I found no footage of what happened.
It made me wonder how many people died without leaving behind any visual record.
The realization stayed with me.
Here was a digital graveyard where pieces of my own family history are preserved for journalists, historians, truth seekers and, undoubtedly, those seeking to exploit or consume human suffering.
I know I won’t be the only person to experience this. Other Palestinians searching for loved ones almost certainly will too. But it struck me that this is a form of grief that could scarcely have existed before our time.
It’s a form of grief I never imagined could exist.

Thomas Massie on Trump’s speech to the nation tonight about election fraud:
“We control the House, Senate, White House, and Supreme Court, so I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the elections!”
This is all a distraction from the fact that our elections actually are rigged, but not in the way Trump or even Democrats ever claim.
Our elections are rigged by corporations and billionaires who buy off and bribe both parties to tilt the economy in their favor, creating an unbalanced society that’s rigged for the rich.
Elections under capitalism are a sham, as they don’t produce democracy for the people. They only produce democracy for the rich.
Elections under capitalism are simply a mechanism of control for the ruling class to keep the masses divided and trapped in the very system that’s rigged against us.
America did not have to be conquered with troops and tanks.
That was never the fear. We are blessed by geography.
Be we are not protected from being conquered from within.
And that's exactly what happened.
America was conquered with money, blackmail, propaganda and a seemingly endless supply of treasonous politicians.
The irony of it all?
The whole way through, the American people were relentlessly propagandized to fear every conceivable bogeyman (except the one that would end up conquering it).
@TheOhioRob@BryceMLipscomb@RandPaul All that highlighting. If you want to “collaborate” so badly, just move there. They won’t care that you’re functionally illiterate because you’re such a good dog.
Hey Senate, did the due diligence for you on Todd Blanche. Here are 16 questions you should ask him on Wednesday.
The deep dive is up on Substack (link in bio).
1. Joseph Tirrell, the department’s senior ethics lawyer, advised you in March 2025 to recuse from Trump matters. You told this committee under oath you would follow the ethics experts. Why didn’t you? And was Mr. Tirrell removed after giving that advice?
2. You testified in February 2025 that you had no knowledge of the Adams dismissal decision. Ms. Sassoon’s letter says Mr. Bove may have spoken with you about it two weeks earlier. Ten senators have asked the Inspector General to investigate your testimony. Will you commit, under oath, that you had no communications about the Adams case before that hearing, and will you waive privilege over any that exist?
3. You signed the April 7, 2025 crypto enforcement memo while holding up to 485,000 dollars in crypto, in apparent breach of your own ethics agreement. The department says this was "cleared in advance." Who cleared it? Produce the written clearance.
4. Why did you personally interview Ghislaine Maxwell rather than assign line prosecutors? Was any FBI agent in the room? Did you discuss her custody placement, her habeas petition, or clemency in any form? And why was her transfer to minimum security, in tension with BOP policy, never documented to Senator Whitehouse in eleven months?
5. Judge Sullivan found you conceded violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. You told the public you were "not sitting on a single piece of paper." Which statement is true? And why is the National Security Division redacting a sex trafficking file?
6. Judge Crenshaw found you "started the investigation to implicate Abrego" to justify the deportation. Your office’s own emails are in the record. Do you dispute the emails? Will you produce Ben Schrader’s objection memo, the one that never reached Washington?
7. Body camera footage shows a federal agent arresting Mayor Baraka "per the deputy attorney general of the United States" while ordering cameras off. Did you order that arrest? Did you know about the camera instruction? You have had ten months to answer.
8. You signed a document permanently barring tax enforcement against the family whose PAC paid your firm nearly ten million dollars, without court approval and without recusal. Will you rescind it in writing? If the fund is truly dead, why did the government refuse Judge Brinkema’s request for sworn declarations, due July 17?
9. Your financial disclosure lists a confidential client in a pending grand jury proceeding. An Attorney General cannot supervise a grand jury matter involving his own secret client. Who is it, and from what will you recuse?
10. Ms. Oyer says you fired her within hours of her refusal to recommend restoring Mel Gibson’s gun rights, then sent armed marshals to her home before her testimony. What is your account, and will you produce the directive that sent them?
11. You testified in May that Maxwell went "from a low-security prison to a low-security prison." FPC Bryan is a minimum security camp and her placement required a waiver of BOP policy. Do you correct that testimony today?
12. Your February 14, 2026 letter certified to Congress that no Epstein records were withheld for reputational or political reasons. NPR then documented withheld and quietly removed FBI interviews concerning an allegation that mentioned Trump. Was your certification accurate when you signed it?
13. Judge Brinkema said one sworn declaration that the fund is dead would end the litigation. You testified it is dead. Why won’t you swear it? Will you sign that declaration before this Committee votes?
14. New Mexico is running the only active criminal investigation into the Zorro Ranch. Its attorney general says your department has withheld the unredacted records for more than 130 days while statutes of limitation erode. Will you produce them this week? If not, name the legal basis, in writing.
15. Senator Wyden says the DEA administrator was ready to hand Congress the unredacted 2015 OCDETF memo naming Epstein and fourteen others in a drug and prostitution financial investigation, and that you stopped him. You called that fabricated. Then release the memo. Will you commit to releasing the unredacted memo to this Committee, and to answering Senator Whitehouse’s Operation Trip Knot letter, before the vote?
16. You eliminated OCDETF over the objection of both parties’ appropriators, transferring 5,000 cases to an organization that did not yet exist. Under what authority did you decline to spend funds Congress appropriated, and did you seek an Impoundment Control Act opinion first?

Disappointed—but not surprised—@SenateDems today blocked a generational investment in our military, including a pay increase for service members. Democrats have already caused the two longest shutdowns in American history. Just another example of Schumer bending the knee to far left radicals.
