AIPAC-endorsed Rep. Tony Gonzales is ending his re-election bid. This comes as he faces mounting calls to resign and a House Ethics Committee probe into text messages that exposed a sexual pursuit of a staffer who tragically took her own life.

AI does not enhance “efficiency.” AI is a permission structure for a totalizing regime of austerity and labor immiseration.
when equipment rental first started you had to leave you driver license, the phyiscal one, with them until you returned the machine.
Its never been abt collecting data, its what they want to do with it
So there's probably a reason they're looking for spaces for concentration camps, and people aren't paying attention because all they're hearing is
"But the illegals are dangerous and this is for your protection!"
Fam.
The gop is dangerous and they do not give a fuck about protecting you.

enjoying this saga unfolding of bugatti refusing to repair one of their wrecked cars and now dudes just tearing it down on youtube, destroying all the mystique around a multimillion dollar vehicle the company claims only a few people in the world can work on.
keep hitting it we gotta deplete the full health bar before it recovers
Throughout all of recorded history, virtually every legal & moral code has taught that preying on the good and the innocent ranks amongst the most heinous offenses it is possible to commit. It’s one of few truly universal constants inherent to the human condition.
DHS/ICE are subhuman thug trash.
They're hunting humans for sport.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

These mundane little companies nobody has ever heard of are just a front for collecting biometric data and selling it to some of the most evil people on the planet.
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
Feature, not a bug
it's kind of wild being lectured on how to win elections by a group of people who lost to trump TWICE
The other day Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said the UK had been "colonised by immigrants"….today there’s this billboard outside of Old Trafford 🔥….way to go Manchester 💪!
A Missouri grandma spent months in detention for a decade-old misdemeanor.
Her story underscores just how far the Trump administration is willing to go in its quest to boost deportations, extending its dragnet to people who are legally present in the country. https://wapo.st/4cqbLvn
Figure 1 from the paper shows the Association between Percentile Wealth Bins (x-Axis) and: (a) Contribution Rate, (b) per Capita Contribution Amount. Figure 1 presents two plots. Panel (a) displays the percentage of donors in each wealth rank that contributed to each of the six campaigns (i.e., Democratic and Republican nominees in 2012, 2016, and 2020).Footnote 17 Panel (b) displays the per capita dollars from each wealth bin, by campaign (including those who donate nothing). As Figure 1 shows, the association between wealth and contributions is approximately exponential. The wealthiest are much more likely to contribute, and the wealth gradient is even steeper in dollars because the top 0.1% contribute very large sums. This is one of the most robust findings in the campaign finance literature, but the figure demonstrates it with considerably more precision. By measuring wealth independently of contribution size, we avoid misattributing smaller contributions to non-wealthy donors and underestimating wealthy dollars. Most relevant to our analysis, Figure 1 compares the wealth gradients for Trump versus other candidates. In 2016, compared to other candidates, Trump’s wealth gradient is far flatter, because Trump elicited far fewer wealthy contributors and per capita dollars. For example, among the top 0.1%, Trump’s donors and per capita dollars represent about one third of Romney’s. While Trump did worse than all other candidates among nearly all wealth groups, that deficit was larger among the wealthy. In short, in 2016, wealthy donations to Trump are low compared to other presidential candidates. In 2020, Trump’s performance among the wealthy improved considerably over 2016 (Figure 1). Consider donation rates (Panel a). Among the wealthiest 0.1%, for example, Trump roughly doubled his rate, though he still significantly lagged Biden and Romney. He did even better in per capita dollars (Panel b) than in rates. Open access link to paper: http://cup.org/4cfm0Az
The wealthy dominate political donations. My co-authored research found the top 0.1% contribute at rates 10-15x higher than bottom 90%. They’re not just more likely to donate, they give exponentially more per capita. The wealth gradient in politics is real. cup.org/4cfm0Az
“The number of billionaires grew, of course, roughly doubling between 2010 and 2024. But their political spending grew by more than 150 times.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:
