14% voter turnout? Do people not know or just not care about Medicaid cuts?

Trump claims that "[t]he Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans." If that is true, why is it that all Democrats want complete transparency while certain Republicans--with Trump as their leader--want DOJ to release "NO MORE" files?

Since when do the innocent hide evidence?

I am more discussed and angry at this Republican administration than I am at Trump. He would be nothing without them. He would not be able to wreck our country if it were not for their actions. They were put in office to serve America and Americans not Trump. They all failed miserably

“You can look down a tremendous distance with our cameras. The camera will identify people, what they’re wearing, and cars up to a half a mile away. It’s that good.”

— Kevin Cox, a Flock consultant who used to work for the Grand Prairie, Texas Police Department said in a 2023 Flock Condor webinar.
Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves
Flock left at least 60 of its people-tracking Condor PTZ cameras live streaming and exposed to the open internet.

We found that on one portal, camera settings could be changed, diagnostics could be run, and text logs of what the camera was doing were being streamed, too. 30 days of the camera’s archive was left available for anyone to watch or download.

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.

The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.

It is a matter of objective fact that, in her entire career, Bari Weiss has never had experience remotely like running an organization with the scale or scope of CBS News. Her entire career has focused on opinion writing and never on the kind of journalism CBS does.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

How do you just “uncover” over a million Epstein documents out of nowhere like they were misplaced in a desk drawer? You don’t, and when accountability gets slow-walked like this, it usually means the same powerful people involved have enough power to force the DOJ to delay it.
