The GOP desperately trying to find a platform to campaign on. Michele Tafoya who's running for Senate, pledging to find who is paying protesters. This from the party who says all protesters are paid by George Soros.
When all they do is lie - they cannot keep their stories straight.

The Verge revealed that Brockman (Pres of OpenAI) and his wife Anna made a combined donation of $25 million in September 2025 to the pro-Trump super political action committee (PAC), Make America Great Again (MAGA) Inc.
This was the largest contribution in the six-month fundraising cycle.

We need to get tactical. If OpenAI’s revenue falls by 2%, it will make a difference.
The best way to ignite positive change is to carry out an economic strike the tech CEOs can’t ignore.

This reckons back to the turning point for McCarthyism with Welch's line, "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness... Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"
Hope we've reached it.

The judge wrote of ICE actions: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency.”
