Ever heard of Peter Thiel? He helped start PayPal and Palantir, a data company that builds surveillance tools to spy on you. He's one of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley. He’s also dumping millions into Nebraska to help Pete Ricketts.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Communities in OK, MS, VA, and MN have stopped warehouse sales to ICE. You can, too: ✅ Go to city council meetings & SPEAK UP during open comment ✅ Call your state delegates — local + state pressure is our best bet. The Fed Gov won’t save us. ✅ Register to vote now. The 2026 midterms are coming.

Reminder to those ordering wings for the SB - Buffalo Wild Wings is a big Trump donor: bigbeautifulboycott.us/company/buff...
PARENT COMPANY: ROARK CAPITAL GROUP

According to Federal Election Commission filings compiled by OpenSecrets.org, Roark Capital Group’s donations during the 2024 election cycle included:

$1,500,000 to Sentinel Action Fund

$414,376 to the Republican National Committee

$398,257 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee

$32,948 to the National Republican Congressional Committee

$21,193 directly to the Trump Campaign (Donald Trump, Candidate R-PRES)

In addition, on April 14, 2020, Inspire Brands was listed among the corporations that joined then-President Trump’s “Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups,” a White House initiative advising on economic reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic.

These connections — including millions of dollars in donations to pro-Trump and Republican committees and participation in a Trump administration policy council — illustrate a clear alignment between Inspire Brands  and the Trump political network.

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs. In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications. One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board. Funny how that works.

House Republicans just enabled ICE to continue their lawlessness for another 10 days. But at that point, they’ll need Dem votes to continue. We must not agree to another dollar for ICE until we add my amendment blocking the federal government from seizing voter rolls, ballots, or voting machines.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
