All of a sudden people are calling me entitled now because I believe Congress needs to be fairly compensated, but nobody in all of Congress has fought harder to build the White House ballroom, than I have.

@RepJackKimble I don't care about what you earn in Congress what bugs me is not working on any legislation for weeks on end and not making life better for Americans. Foreign policy is more important and bailing out other countries is also a priority instead of us.
@rahul@BogDrakonov We the people, do not believe you. Peter Theil’s Founders Fund participated in Flock Safety’s $275 million funding round in March 2025 and now works closely with Garrett on data integration API’s. The FBI now wants to buy your nationwide data access. Stop lying to us.
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.
@Flock_Safety@WallStreetApes We, the people, do NOT believe you. Flock is a threat to our freedom.
@grok Does Peter Thiel (Palantir co-founder) and his venture firm Founders Fund, along with technical ties to Flock Safety company participated in Flock Safety’s $275 million funding round in March 2025?
This video contains several false claims. Flock is not owned by Palantir. Flock does not share data on behalf of customers. Cities and local law enforcement own their data and control their sharing. All searches on the platform are logged in an unalterable audit trail. Learn more here: flocksafety.com/trust
This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this
California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America
“I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works.
Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story.
They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up
The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie.
Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras.
Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure.
Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into.
We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract”
I looked more into this and he is 100% right
Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries
Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers.
This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure
If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide
Graham Platner: “We just spent $50B in two months on the war in Iran and I haven’t heard a single question of where it came from. But the moment you say Americans deserve to see housing costs come down, or energy costs come down, the moment we have to talk about healthcare, suddenly we have to pull our pockets out and pretend like we’re paupers”
@GiertychRoman@Microinteracti1 Please understand that most Americans hate Trump and everything he does. Trump won by a small percentage because people wanted a better economy. Trump administration is compromised and corrupt and only helping Billionaire donors friends. don’t give up on us. 2028 will be better.
They betrayed those in Afghanistan who trusted them.
They betrayed Ukraine by withdrawing support, even though they had guaranteed the inviolability of its borders.
They betrayed Denmark, their longtime ally, by demanding Greenland from them.
They betrayed Taiwan by calling it “a small and distant island” while in China, increasing the risk of a Chinese attack.
Now they are withdrawing their troops from Romania and Poland, leaving Eastern Europe on its own.
We will manage on our own, because for centuries we have known one thing: if you want to rely on something, rely on yourself. But these betrayals will forever strip the United States of its role as a superpower. What kind of superpower does not keep its word? In our part of the world, a new superpower must rise to take America’s place: Europe.
@Jessica42806219@HalfwayPost@POTUS You are in a cult. You blindly follow and believe anything a con artist, rapist, fraudster, wife cheating warmonger fool, who has made tens of thousands boldface proven lies.
@HalfwayPost I stand with our @POTUS 10 toes deep. No matter what the fake news has said or the democrats have done, including some republicans. Trump has came out on top and ahead of them all. The truth will be told, and that’s what they fear the most.
BREAKING: For the first time a journalist has reportedly told Donald Trump on a phone call, “Every single claim you have made about this war has been proven a lie within hours, and I will not be publishing anything you’ve told me today.”
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.
The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.
Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
MAGA, SHE JUST GAVE AWAY THE GAME. MTG just admitted that Trump demanded the files stay unreleased.
NOW WHAT MAGA?!?! NOW WHAT?!
She's lying, right? Nope, she's not. That thing that's absolutely unthinkable, it's true. You're defending PDFs.
@letsgomathias@PublishersWkly Christopher - just finished your outstanding book here in Italy. They just celebrated ‘Liberation Day’ when they overthrew Mussolini. It’s been over 80 years since Fascism ruled. The Italians I spoke to say it was a terrible mistake. I hope US doesn’t follow this tragic path.
So @PublishersWkly just gave my book about antifa a STARRED review!
To Catch A Fascist is an “urgent, eye-opening debut” that is “by turns heart-pounding and heartening glimpse of the fight against fascism in the shadows.”

I’m a Butler native, and I was at the rally.
I was yards away from the stage when the gunshots went off.
You make a lot of important points in your post that I can confirm.
The security was abysmal and highly questionable from the moment we walked on the farm show grounds:
No SS on the water tower, no SS on the AGR building, no SS drones, comms were down between SS and local police, the TFR was only 1,000 feet above ground, the TFR ended at 6:15 PM, gunshots went off at 6:11 PM, and security never stopped Crooks climbing the roof whenever a bunch of people yelled for SS to help.
No one sane in the audience believes that Crooks was simply a "lone shooter."
No one believes that kid planned everything, outmaneuvered, and outsmarted everyone solely by himself.
Nothing makes sense about what happened IN and ON the AGR building.
I have friends who work in the AGR building, and no one has ever seen the surveillance footage from the cameras inside or out. It has never been publicly released.
Nothing makes logical sense about what happened that day.
The parents of Thomas Matthew Crooks have also retained some of the best attorneys here in Pennsylvania.
It's a top law firm in Pittsburgh: Quinn Logue.
No one seems to know who is paying for their expensive legal representation.
At the time of this photo, we were on the ground covering each other, but we quickly realized how bizarre it was that SS let Trump stand up and pose on stage, and then SS tried to hurry everyone out of the rally without ever confirming whether there were additional shooters or not.
It’s also exceedingly strange that Trump never talks about it and the media stopped talking about it.
There are endless questions I have about everything.
The only part I believe is that Corey lost his life, unfortunately. He was a good man.
I certainly do not have all of the answers, but something deeply sinister happened in my hometown that day.
@tom841700398@mattyglesias@realDonaldTrump Big difference- Orban banned him from speaking on govt and public media. Trump’s insurrection actions got him banned by PRIVATE online platforms. One is not like the other. In the US, we have this thing called the 1st Amendt, that protects freedom of speech from govt censorship.
There are only 3 options here.
a) Trump is so stupid that he thinks that the image really did depict him as a doctor.
b) Trump is completely senile now, and we should 25th Amendment him.
c) Trump committed Blasphemy.
@bigpatriot1776@magyarpeterMP Another MAGA fool. The world has been laughing at you and your idiot cult leader. Trump just caused the decline of American hegemony by stupidly starting a war against Iran. It’s now China’s time. Nobody trust America anymore. Why should they? All we do is tarrifs & start wars.
@magyarpeterMP@Shayan86 Fantastic! Always good when a fascist authoritarian regimes spectacularly fails. Now go out and truly make Hungary great again. It’s been 30 years, and I can now finally travel back to Budapest and feel good about spending our holidays with such wonder people again.
