We're all mocking the sweaty "Talarico is transgender" stuff from the right but it's notable that the actual campaign seems laser-focused on "Paxton is one of the most corrupt politicians in world history" They're just not going to play this stupid game. Good.

My team uncovered that foreign enemies are targeting U.S. servicemembers in war zones by buying their location data. The threat to national security posed by data brokers has never been more clear. We need to dismantle the surveillance advertising industry.

Scoop: Central Command is getting reports that military personnel are being targeted using commercially available location data. Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Hell of a week for the opposition: 8 Senate Dems voted to confirm a Trump judge who wouldn’t admit Biden won. A Dem governor pardoned an election denier who orchestrated a breach of her county’s election system. 8 House Dems voted for a bill attacking trans rights in schools. Feel represented?

How bad is the Colorado governor's commutation of Tina Peters' sentence? So bad that even the Republican DA who prosecuted here pushed back, and told Polis to talk to the county officials who have to deal with threats that followed Peters' felonies. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

We destroyed Iraq. We destroyed Afghanistan. And the people behind all that destruction, all that killing, the people who sent me to war are still in power. Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles from home.

Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."
