I don't have a #RingCamera. Now I don't want one.

So you're backing off your partnership with Flock. The fact that you thought of doing it, given the unconstitutional behavior of our federal government, shows me that you're not responsible.

You've lost my trust.

“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups…

“Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

Americans love to lecture us on freedom, but the rankings tell a different story.

They are behind Europe on press freedom and civil rights.

They have no lessons to give us, and we should be the ones teaching them

There is only one explanation that fits all the facts.

Trump refuses to pressure Russia, because he is compromised.

He isn't holding back for the sake of peace.

He is trying to help Russia win

I'm old enough to remember when the United States sided with and supported democracies and our democratic allies rather than cozying up to the world's dictators.
Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia.

Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

As you process the Epstein files, remember:

Palantir received early funding from Jeffrey Epstein.
It was also backed by the CIA’s venture arm, In-Q-Tel.
Then came the defense contracts.
Then mass data analytics at scale.

This isn’t separate stories.
It’s one ecosystem: the Epstein network.

Keep a VERY close watch on Zorro Ranch. Until warrants are in hand and every inch is searched, NOTHING leaves…no trucks, no trailers, no “deliveries.” Drones can document digging/excavation. There are legal ways to secure evidence and force accountability.

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.
