The Talarico nonsense being spread by GOP influencers is a typical republican “scandal” - lots of BREAKING!! And 🚨 but no actual substance. If anyone from the Paxton campaign coordinated with influencers to spread these lies, people should go to prison, and Talarico should sue the fuck out of them.

LOL: Right wing media released a Jack Smith (Vol II) document showing he put a pen register on Susie Wiles' phone. He did that b/c Trump showed her a very highly classified document. Wonder if @knightcolumbia.org knows the White House violated Judge Cannon's order. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

How the White House Manufactured a Narrative About a Trump Aide’s Call Logs
A release of selected records from the classified documents inquiry is a case study in how omitting context can create political ammunition.

We are becoming more like our ally Russia every day under the Trump Regime. Vote his Republican enablers and supporters out of office next month. Our Republic is being shredded and our credibility all over the world is completely gone.

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

If you, btw, would like an example of a place where data centres are *actually* being restricted by legislation, go look at Denmark - where they are now last in the grid connection queue, prioritising socially valuable load growth (like electrification, heating, cooling, new homes) first
