Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted.
This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Gee Dan, why aren't you building HDC 4.0 this year? It *is* a 6-year upgrade year, right?
Well...
Well...
This is completely correct other than the infrastructure not existing. I think people need to realize WHY this is happening is because, for example, NVIDIA sells GB200 NVL72s (racks of 72 GPUs) with *17TB of RAM* and likely over 500TB of storage.

Poll observer here. I would notify the state party immediately and we/they would have lawyers in court within the hour. Court would almost certainly enjoin any further disruption and order the polls to stay open late to ensure access. Publicity likely ensures greater turnout from pissed off voters.

Yeah, the Nazi tattoo is part of the appeal for Platner for a lot of people. His candidacy is supposed to signal the left no longer concerns itself with “woke” issues like public displays of bigotry.
Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.
You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

[through gritted teeth] the popular front against ICE includes NIMBYs
new from me: it's interesting that one of the biggest roadblocks we're seeing to ICE buying up warehouses to convert into modern day concentration camps for detained immigrants is conservative NIMBYs (non-derogatory, for once) saying "not here, thanks"
Opinion | ICE’s warehouse detention centers run up against NIMBYism
A surprising number of Republican communities are coming out against the idea of ICE deportation facilities in their backyards.

Wellness junk science killed Steve Jacobs too. He relied on it when he got cancer, and only when it was too late did he decide to try real medical solutions. Alas.
Why was Dawson from Dawson's Creek reduced to selling all his stuff to treat cancer? Do your research! Because until then he was satisfied with antiscience wellness remedies for his cancer from his influencer wife! Tell his story right. I know you loved him.
