how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking.
The company’s website is dated and largely accessible only via login.

1/ Elon Musk wanted Texas legislators to create new crimes so people who fly drones or interfere with operations at SpaceX can be arrested. And he wanted to change who controlled the highway and public beach near SpaceX’s site so he can launch his rockets according to his timeline. He got them all.
Table titled "Bills Musk companies took a stand on during the 2025 Texas legislative session." It shows how 2 Texas House and 2 Texas Senate Bills that SpaceX supported all passed. These bills urge Congress to make spaceports eligible for tax-exempt private activity bonds, ban/criminalize drones over spaceports, give the Texas Space Commission power to close highways/gulf beaches near SpaceX's launch site, and define spaceports as critical infrastructure. At the bottom of the graphic are the logos of ProPublica, Texas Tribune, and KUT News.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

The media knows how to drive narrative. They did it with Biden’s age. They do it against dems always. If dems were destroying the economy, the media wouldn’t talk about anything else. But instead, because of the billionaire owners & millionaire talking heads, the media will help make excuses.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.
