dlvr.it‘Survivor 51’ Stars Kilby and Lewis Impress Former Players With Their Tribal Council Strategy“Survivor 51” contestants Kilby and Lewis earned praise from two former players after standing firm during a tense Tribal Council that could have ended their alliance.

Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz and OpenAI’s Greg Brockman bankrolled the AI industry’s super PAC, and a group tied to it now has $50 million set aside to change your mind about data centers. 69% of Americans told NBC News they don’t want one near them, including most Republicans.

Senate Republicans privately told the AI companies to fix that, and 13 days later Build American AI launched in Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin with its own super PAC on the side. If you see a data center ad before Election Day, check who paid for it.

His campaign not only said they are behind the ad but that they will continue to run it until the election.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign made an ad starring Amy Acton’s mother calling her a liar, and he’s putting $4 million behind it. Amy says her mother’s husband sexually abused her from age 9 to 12, and by her mother’s own account, she stood by him in court, then left town with him. youtu.be/tTzeT_9OvQ0

Court and newspaper records show he had already been indicted in 1974 for raping his own eldest daughter before Amy’s mother married him. Ramaswamy stood in front of reporters and called the ad legitimate. Ohio votes November 3. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.

His story about Epstein has changed every time a new document came out, and he’s still running the Commerce Department. Congress should put him under oath.

Armstrong, who ran the conservative student site Polis Media, called the memes "facetious" and refused to accept the resignation of the writer who posted the Hitler memes, saying he had "confidence in her character."

Rep. Rob Bresnahan ran on banning congressional stock trading, then sold off his AppLovin stock the day before and the day of the reports accusing the company of serving sexually explicit ads to girls as young as 7 and illegally tracking kids. youtube.com/shorts/xBqKd...

AppLovin went from $377 to as low as $200 by April. On June 6, 2025, with all of those allegations public, he bought back in. He says his financial adviser makes these trades without his input, and he never set up the blind trust he announced in May 2025.

I was starving earlier and really wanted pizza. The place I stopped only had one slice left, and it had pineapple on it, which I don’t particularly like on my pizza. My other option was a raw chicken breast they’d left sitting on the counter all afternoon.

@elizaorlins.bsky.social

I could have refused both on principle and gone hungry. But the pineapple pizza was perfectly edible, filled me up, and I could pick off some of the pineapple. This is not a story about pizza.

Last year Amnesty International verified public executions in two countries, Iran and Afghanistan. The US hasn't held one since a hanging in Kentucky in 1936, and no execution here has ever been broadcast. This is truly abhorrent.

Only verified U.S. citizens clear that check, and contributions from foreign nationals are still blocked. Service members and Foreign Service officers have been mailing ballots home from the other side of the world this whole time and still couldn't chip in to the races they care about.

When you pick a country other than the U.S. on the donation page, you now upload a photo of your U.S. passport and a selfie for third-party verification, which confirms the passport is real and belongs to you.

Thursday, NY Governor Kathy Hochul named her special prosecutor in the Cornell sexual assault case, after the Tompkins County DA decided not to bring charges.

I spent 15 years in Manhattan doing the job she started out in, defending people the government had decided to go after. Now the government is going after her, and she's still the one New York calls when a case needs to be handled right. Thank you, Tish. ♡

She also beat Wayne LaPierre and the NRA at trial. Trump's DOJ responded by indicting her for mortgage fraud. A federal judge threw the case out because the prosecutor who brought it had been illegally appointed, and when DOJ tried again, two grand juries refused to indict her.

There are now new criminal referrals against her in Miami and Chicago, and federal prosecutors are looking into money she exchanged with her hairdresser. She has kept working through all of it.

Since taking office, she has sued Donald Trump for fraud and gotten a court to rule that he lied about his wealth. Her office's investigation into Andrew Cuomo's harassment of women on his staff led to his resignation.
