Speaking about modern tech leaders, Kara Swisher says, “There’s no guardrails on these people, ever.” “There’s never been a moment where the people do not get a say, and these people get to make decisions for the rest of us that are really problematic,” she tells @adriennelaf.bsky.social at #TAF26.

These whistleblower allegations are extraordinary. If Trump Administration officials knowingly built a system designed to prevent Americans from receiving their ballots, that is not election security. It is a betrayal of our Constitution and the American people.

Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?

What will DJT do with this information
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володи... & -3h
I will instruct our intelligence to share with our partners the information we have regarding Russia's new assistance to the Iranian regime.
Since the beginning of July, we have recorded active Russian satellite surveillance of the Gulf states and U.S. military facilities located there.
These images subsequently appear in Iran. At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russia's satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes - both before the attacks, in preparation for them, and afterward, to assess the damage inflicted.
On July 19 and 20 alone, four air bases fell within the area of interest of Russian satellites - two in Bahrain, one in Jordan, and one in Kuwait. The purpose is clear. None of us in the world should turn a blind eye to one very simple fact: evil always seeks ways to make things worse and spread further. Russia must be stopped. This war must be stopped. Pressure on the aggressor must work.
