We're heading back home in the morning. Until next time I'm outside Texas, here's a picture of our bunny Hoppy Báez.

A $250,000 donation to a pro-Ken Paxton super PAC came from a businessman whose dad got pardoned by Trump — and who used a fake name and rented mailbox on the donation record.

It’s my understanding that ICE flights run at $17,000 an hour. Not only cruel, but it's a massive, corrupt cash cow for private tech and aviation donors. When Congress takes over in Jan 2027, auditing this private airline racket must be top priority.

The LAPD has declined to renew its Flock contract after an internal audit found 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts in just two months or the equivalent of a 32.3% false positive rate. Flock has created an unacceptable and dangerous surveillance state and they can barely do it right.

ICE is murdering people because the Trump regime wants ICE to murder people. If the regime didn't want ICE to murder people, it would publicly crack down on ICE agents who murder people. But the regime doesn't. Because it wants ICE to murder people.

Trump sacrificed security in order to be able to fly around in a symbol of his corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...
Mr. Hunter would not name the more complicated security upgrades individually because they are considered classified. But other government officials have told The New York Times that this more complex work includes advanced missile defense systems and hardening of the plane’s wiring to protect it from an electromagnetic pulse, in case there is a nuclear strike. It is unclear whether such work was done to the Qatari jet.

“In that time they had, they would be able to accommodate communications upgrades,” Mr. Hunter said, referring to vital security equipment that allows a president to be in contact at all times. “But not anything that would require significant structural work.”

Mr. Hunter added: “To do a full Air Force One equivalent upgrade does require structural modifications.”

It sounds like they rushed the Qatar jet and it doesn’t have all of the defensive countermeasures needed to transit potentially hostile airspace. There’s no realistic way to read this other than a threat-driven aircraft choice.
