If their tech works (results from Norm), why the need for the merger? To accelerate (I.E. fund) the Da Vinci build? "Media access to capital..." So crypto scams? They're going to pump-and-dump their way forward?
"President Trump’s media company Trump Media & Technology Group agreed to merge with fusion-power company TAE Technologies in an all-stock deal worth more than $6 billion." Deal "intends to combine Trump Media’s access to capital and TAE’s fusion technology to supply power" for the AI boom.

Just the threat of sextortion to naive youngsters can do terrible harm (or incite them to do terrible harm to themselves). We/I need to create a safe space for people of all ages to talk about threatening emails of any kind.

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The bottom line is that the GOP absolutely cannot be trusted to deal with any societal problem.
They lead with cruelty and focus exclusively on how to package private greed as public service.

Stephen Miller claims that ICE officers have "immunity" for anything they do while enforcing immigration law. Even as an argument about *state* criminal prosecutions, that claim is overstated at best.
