I’m no prosecutor, but isn’t that an open admission of criminal misuse of public office?

Unearthed video: Leaked Flock webinar reveals Flock employees teaching police how to surveil anti-Trump No Kings protestors and track their vehicles.

"ICE reportedly wants to build a nationwide database of voters, their voting history and, potentially, their party affiliations too," per the WIRED

Fun fact: Nebraska's all-GOP House delegation just voted for the resolution condemning socialism - while they represent the only state whose electricity is 100% provided by socialist, publicly owned power utilities, which have kept electricity prices among the lowest in America, according to the Trump administration’s own Energy Department👇

Gallup reports 89% in the U.S. say corruption in govt is widespread. It’s one of the few things Rs, Ds and Independents agree on. But SCOTUS makes it tough to combat and legislators are like foxes guarding the chicken coop. If a nation can’t combat this, it can’t be successful.

[LoLNothingMatters @DastDn]

A military having it own income stream, independent of Congressional, or even Presidential, oversight?

Cool, cool, cool.

[Sal the Agorist @SallyMayweather]

He was also pulled over going 111 mph, which under FL’s new super speeder law, is a mandatory 30 days of prison time.

Because he’s a cop, he was let go with a minor traffic ticket instead.

Laws for thee, but not for me..

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

The median cost to incarcerate someone is about $66,000. The median cost to permanently house and feed someone is $16,000. They don’t want to govern. They want to oppress. So much so they made being poor a crime.

Nothing says democracy like silencing the people.

Holy shit. A THOUSAND TRADES A MONTH.
50 trades per day. This is a TEAM.

He hired professional traders to use inside information to make money for him on the stock market while he uses every lever in the federal toolkit to pump up equity prices.

Staggering organized crime.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

The best thing about these Flock controversies is they're exposing how shoddy some police work is.

This cop accosted an innocent woman & said he was "100%" sure she was a thief. Why? Because Flock saw her car around the time of a theft—and he didn't bother to do...anything else.

We were so close to getting insanely affordable handheld PCs, low end phones with good specs and general good quality market saturation of solid tech.

All of it out the window. Thanks AI.

[Ahmed Baba @AhmedBaba_]

Trump’s former (and de facto current) personal lawyer turned AG is here refusing to pledge to run an independent DOJ.

No more “norms.” Next Dem POTUS and Congress must codify DOJ prosecutorial independence into law, and close every other corruption loophole Trump has exploited.

[Phil Magness @PhilWMagness]

JD Vance wants to end the US dollar's position as a global reserve currency, because he thinks it allows Americans to consume too much and do so too cheaply.

Keep that in mind the next time you order a $20 burrito on door dash.

[Jeff Stein @jstein_notus]

Just so people are really aware of what this means: A Trump appointee has approved Trump’s personal crypto firm to operate as a bank

Corporations can conduct transactions in which the Trump family gets a cut

The public will not have to be informed

There’s no precedent for this

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

I'm sorry, I can't get over this. The most powerful person on earth is using the full force of government to jail a 67-year-old over an error his *own administration* oversaw. It is the epitome of government "weaponization." Mind-blowing hypocrisy. It's unconscionable.

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year.

The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to massive savings nationwide.

More accessible care would also lead to numerous lives saved.

How is this not a bigger story? A Phoenix man who's lived in the U.S. since he was 4—when his family fled persecution in Egypt—was deported without warning to Equatorial Guinea. He's been imprisoned in a hotel there since April. What are we doing.

[Casey Michel @cjcmichel]

The Trump administration just made it official: it's demolishing the US's shell company registry, and destroying all of the data it already collected.

A disaster for US anti-corruption efforts.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The LAPD declined to renew its Flock contract after an internal audit found 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts in just two months — a 32.3% false-positive rate.
