Elon Musk gave $158 million to Senate GOP group helping Paxton
The world’s wealthiest man transformed Texas’ U.S. Senate race with a massive cash infusion to the Senate GOP’s main outside group, which has taken over the airwaves with ads boosting Paxton.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

AI, the kind the companies want normal people to use in their everyday lives, was invented by bad dorks who can't think about or make or do anything fun or cool or social, and they keep trying to sell it to us as a tool to outsource the doing of cool fun social things as if that's appealing.

Years ago I interviewed Houston Mayor Annise Parker who told me one of the main reasons the city was able to cut homelessness by so much is she forced all the governments and nonprofits into a room and made them use the same data system. Meanwhile in LA www.latimes.com/california/s...
The agencies use different data systems, and even different Google spreadsheets, to produce their reports and often have different bureaus within them managing different housing programs.For example, a senior director for Bass told the interviewers that the Inside Safe program uses an internal Google spreadsheet to manage its occupancy records and does not have access to the Homeless Management Information System, the countywide database that tracks street contacts with homeless people and housing placements

The real worry is not the next two years, but the 2-4 after that. If this is a bellwether, we are never going to get the real, serious, major institutional reform that we need to make sure that this era of lawless authoritarianism doesn't happen again, even if we get a Democratic president in 2029.

Garces Perez has been released from the hospital into ICE custody—exactly the scenario the crowd here has been protesting against. He was making a DoorDash delivery when he was shot. Quick correction: he’s 28, not 29. www.statesman.com/news/local/a...

NOW: Just arrived at the intersection of Research Blvd and Anderson Lane—near where ICE shot & wounded 29-yr-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez earlier today. Between 300-500 people still holding intersection here. ICE is reportedly not letting Garces Perez’s family access him at the hospital.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.

Federal agencies are buying Americans' phone location data from brokers instead of getting warrants. ICE acquired a tool built to watch a neighborhood and follow phones from work to home over time. No judge signed anything. Somebody signed a purchase order. #Surveillance www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant
Data brokers buy up huge amounts of information from cell phones and browsers to sell for targeted advertising. But the government, including ICE, also buys the data.
