#InfoSec person. KT0DBK is my callsign. IT guy for @clairereynoldsforcongress.org I post more often on infosec.exchange/@todb, bridged here as @todb2.hugesuccess.org and turns out, is much more #infosec than #txpol political. Follow both!

Texans deserve transparency and accountability from their representatives. It’s time to put people before profits.

On October 5, Claire Reynolds will put Pfluger’s record on stock trading, data centers, and representation of TX-11 directly before voters... What topics do YOU want to hear addressed? Mark your calendars: The debate will be live on Basin PBS from 7-8pm on Monday, Oct. 5.

Did you know that TX-11 has existed for 143 years, but it's never been represented by a woman? So that's why this Women's Equality Day, we honor the generations who fought for our rights while also acknowledging that this fight continues today. Together, this November, we can make history.

This whole thing is truly bananas. If you don’t watch #Texas politics, short version: Trump is desperate for a win, so he waived tariffs on imported beef to lower prices. TX-11, my district, is pretty big on beef. Not the biggest, but it’s a helpful talking point when not talking about oil. (1/2)

Don't carefully craft talking points: do something Don't promise and then explain why it's impossible: do something Don't cry about how if you had a majority you could finally do something, we've seen how you behave with a majority and we've seen what the GOP can do with a minority Do something

current feelings around AI: the CEOs shoveling slop into everything should be in jail but the guys spending upwards of $60,000 on elaborate, janky home rigs to run local models for no reason other than to see if it works are engaging in a long and semi-honorable tradition of computer toucher shit

This can’t be reformed. It’s not a training issue. The agents who murdered Pretti and Good, and who shot Sosa-Celis have been agents for more than 8 years. I’ll be voting for candidates who support dismantling DHS and abolishing ICE.
