🚨 DATA IS OUT: A single temporary photo radar camera in Hudson appears to have issued 31,353 speeding tickets in a matter of weeks, collecting $666k so far (estimated $1.2M total issued).

Trump: “I’m in the Oval Office and we’re in a fight against the worst congressman in the history of our country. His name is Thomas Massie. I hope you’re gonna put him out of business tomorrow. He is so bad…Get rid of Thomas Massie!”

I want Massie to win tomorrow. I would vote for him without reservation. But asking why the NYT is willing to run a glowing article like this is absolutely a fair question. If Massie was a threat to the left, would this be run?

Last year, the city of Austin turned off their Flock cameras as the result of a targeted misinformation campaign. This weekend, for nearly 24 hours, three suspects drove around Austin in stolen vehicles, undetected, conducting a shooting spree at 12 separate locations. They shot multiple people, houses, apartment buildings, businesses, and fire stations. They committed multiple robberies and car thefts during the spree. Despite a full manhunt involving 200 officers, with helicopter and K9 support, they weren't able to locate the suspects, and the spree continued. Luckily, the suspects drove into the Flock-supported city of Manor, TX. Manor is a small city with ~20k residents, and a fraction of Austin's budget. What they do have is modern technology and the ability not to fall victim to misinformation campaigns. After the suspects drove into Manor to continue their shooting spree, Manor PD located them almost immediately. The residents of Manor stayed safe. This is a tale of two cities. I love Austin. I have plenty of friends who live there. I myself almost moved there years ago. I'm glad that the shooting spree is over, but I just wish it never happened.

This is one of the most beautiful videos ever sent to me. And I’ll tell you plainly… it’s heartbreaking that some of the very girls we have helped are fully aware of the lies, false accusations, and ignorant attacks against the work we do. As I watched it, I honestly had to fight to keep my eyes from leaking. Not because of recognition or praise — but because these girls, who have already endured more darkness than most people could imagine, are now trying to defend the very people who stepped in to help protect them. That hits different. And this is only one small glimpse. One region. One part of Southeast Asia. Behind the noise, the gossip, the headlines, and the cowardly accusations are real human beings… real children… real rescue work… real scars… and real lives being changed. The people who truly know… know.

This dude just rage quit the LP and ended his Senate race because of my convention dress code proposal. 🤣 Totally unserious people.
