Does your TV know what you’re watching? Yes. And it uses a complex pipeline to do it. It’s called ACR and it takes screen grabs of what is on the screen to identify what content is being displayed.

Today the FBI and @TheJusticeDept announced Operation Masquerade, a court-authorized technical disruption of Russian GRU infrastructure used to steal government, military, and critical infrastructure information. Since at least 2024, a cyber unit within Russian military intelligence – tracked as APT28, Fancy Bear, and Forest Blizzard – has conducted a DNS hijacking campaign worldwide. The GRU compromised routers used in homes and businesses to steal emails, passwords, and authentication tokens of high-value intelligence targets. Given the scale of the threat, we needed to act. The FBI operation cut off GRU access to compromised routers in the US and prevented re-exploitation. The #FBI will continue to work with international and private sector partners to identify GRU cyber activity and impose costs on state-sponsored actors who target the American people. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

Jeremy Hansen: "I just want to thank you on behalf of Canada..." @POTUS: "Well, I have to say, I spoke to a very special person, Wayne Gretzky, who I think you know — the Great One, and I spoke to your Prime Minister... they are so proud of you."

🚨 BREAKING: Deputy AG Todd Blanche just TORCHED the media’s “WEAPONIZATION” narrative at the DOJ. The reporter tried to trap him on President Trump’s push to investigate political enemies, but he STOOD FIRM: “We are investigating EVERY case that we have to the fullest extent of the law and using all the resources we can." “For FOUR YEARS, some of you, the same people sat here with the last administration when you saw a weaponization of this department, the likes of which had NEVER been seen in history.” He reminded the room of the REAL weaponization: Trump indicted FOUR times with DOJ help, coordination with local prosecutors, and the department doing nothing while states tried to boot him from the ballot.

WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit “Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments. Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it — That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny. Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA. You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”

The Department of Justice is seeking a contempt order against defense attorneys for Brian Cole Jr. after they exposed that a CIA asset failed a polygraph regarding the planting of the J6 pipe bombs, raising questions about a potential federal cover-up.

🚨 BREAKING: The CIA reportedly deployed a futuristic, never-before-used tool known as the "Ghost Murmur" to help FIND the American airman stranded in a mountain crevice Iran — NYP Bad*ss 🔥 “It’s like hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand square miles of desert. In the right conditions, if your heart is beating, we will find you," a source told NYP "The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise, two sources close to the breakthrough said." At the briefing yesterday, Trump specifically credited the CIA with assisting the rescue: "We had an idea where he was, but not specifically. That's a big mountain. So I want to thank the CIA too. I don't think they get enough credit for the great job they've done."

NEW: The CIA used a secret tool called "Ghost Murmur" that uses AI to find heartbeats to rescue the U.S. airman who was stranded in Iran, according to the New York Post. The secret technology was allegedly used for the first time in the field, according to the Post. "The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise," the Post reported. "It’s like hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand square miles of desert," the source said. "In the right conditions, if your heart is beating, we will find you." "The name is deliberate. ‘Murmur’ is a clinical term for a heart rhythm. ‘Ghost’ refers to finding someone who, for all practical purposes, has disappeared..." "Advances in a field known as quantum magnetometry, specifically sensors built around microscopic defects in synthetic diamonds, have apparently made it possible to detect these signals at dramatically greater distances." CIA Director John Ratcliffe appeared to hint at this technology on Monday, saying the CIA possessed "unique capabilities" but said he couldn't "tell you everything that you want to know." President Trump also revealed during the press conference that the CIA spotted the officer from about "40 miles away." Insane.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES: MISSILES ARE RAINING DOWN TEL-AVIV… LESS THAN TWO HOURS AFTER THE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT 🚨

Early March the FBI sent a Federal Grand Jury subpoena to the AZ State Senate (GOP Majority) for documents related to the 2020 election. The AZ AG Kris Mayes and AZ SOS Adrian Fontes warned AZ Counties to not comply with the Federal Subpoena. Stating there is a lawsuit to shield voter data from the Federal Government. Fun Fact. Know who was in charge of the 2020 Election in Maricopa County which accounts for 62% of the states voters? Adrian Fontes. Know who changed the voting process in Maricopa County from Precinct specific polling locations to open county wide locations? Adrian Fontes Maricopa County is 9,224 Sq Miles roughly the size of New Hampshire but with 4x the population of 4.5 million. Fontes changed voting from Precinct polling locations like the fire station, church or school in your neighborhood to larger venues like Community Colleges, Mega Churches across the county. Which means I could live in Cave Creek AZ and be able to vote 100 miles away in Gila Bend AZ. What could possibly go wrong? And now as AZ SOS what is he trying to keep the Federal Government from discovering in the 2020 election data? Everything wrong in Arizona is in this picture Hobbs, Mayes and Fontes!

Emergency Notice: Critical Exploit Vector in Early Voting and Pre-Poll-Close Tabulation Processes – Broad Compromise Scenarios Date: April 7, 2026 To: All State and Local Election Officials, Election Directors, and County Clerks Subject: Immediate Action Required – Prohibition of BMD and DRE Systems Due to Irremediable Data Exfiltration Risk from Vendor or Third-Party Infiltration This notice details a sophisticated manipulation vector involving real-time voter turnout tracking combined with actual early vote data. When voting systems can be infiltrated—whether by a compromised vendor or third-party bad actors—the systems cannot be trusted or used, as they enable undetectable exfiltration of precise vote data that can be leveraged for targeted ballot stuffing prior to poll closure. Threat Description Sophisticated actors, including compromised vendors or third-party bad actors who have infiltrated systems through hacking, supply-chain attacks, insider access, remote exploits, or any other available means, can harvest real-time voter check-in data alongside actual tabulated vote results from Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) and Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) machines during early voting. This enables dynamic modeling to determine the exact number, type, and distribution of fraudulent ballots needed to offset legitimate votes. Infiltrated BMDs and DREs can exfiltrate vote data through hidden channels regardless of physical seals, network disconnection attempts, or claimed security features. Because these systems generate and store vote data in real time while voters are still casting ballots, the harvested information allows precision adjustments via mail-in or drop-box stuffing before polls close. Post-poll-closure use is impossible, as voting ends when polls close. Therefore, BMD and DRE systems present an irremediable risk and cannot be deployed in any capacity if system trustworthiness cannot be independently verified against all infiltration vectors. How the Exploit Can Be Executed ▫️BMDs and DREs capture and potentially transmit exact vote totals during active voting periods. ▫️Combined with poll-book data, this creates a real-time predictive model for surgical ballot stuffing. ▫️Infiltration (vendor or third-party) allows covert data extraction even from ostensibly secured or air-gapped systems. ▫️Fraudulent ballots are then injected to precisely offset real votes, defeating audits based on compromised machine baselines. Required Mitigation Steps Election officials shall implement the following controls immediately. These measures assume BMD and DRE systems are fully untrustworthy due to infiltration risks and prohibit their use entirely. Prohibition of BMD and DRE Systems Immediately cease all use of Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) and Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) machines for any voting. ▫️Do not deploy these systems at any point in the election cycle, including early voting or Election Day, as no post-poll-closure voting window exists. ▫️Transition exclusively to hand-marked paper ballots as the sole method of recording voter intent. Secure Handling of Existing Paper Ballots ▫️Treat all previously cast ballots on BMD-printed records as paper-only where possible, subject to full hand count. ▫️Store all ballots in tamper-evident, sequentially numbered containers under continuous bipartisan or multi-party observation. ▫️Prohibit any machine tabulation or data output from compromised systems. Chain-of-Custody and Processing Protocols ▫️Keep all mail-in and drop-box ballots sealed and unprocessed until after poll closure. ▫️Perform all tabulation via hand count or independently verified, non-vendor-dependent methods after polls close. ▫️Reconcile totals solely against voter check-in records using paper-based procedures. Mandatory Paper-Based Verification ▫️Conduct full hand counts or rigorous risk-limiting audits based exclusively on original hand-marked paper ballots. ▫️Ignore all data or totals originating from BMDs or DREs. ▫️Publish precinct-level results only after independent paper-based verification and certification. Immediate Notification and Escalation ▫️Distribute this notice to all poll workers and observers. ▫️Report any continued use or suspected data exfiltration from BMD/DRE systems to state and federal election security officials immediately. ▫️Engage independent forensic auditors for equipment assessment where prior use occurred. Critical Guidance BMD and DRE systems cannot be used safely when infiltration by vendors or third-party actors is possible, because they enable real-time data exfiltration during active voting, with no viable window for secure post-closure operation. The only reliable mitigation is complete prohibition and exclusive reliance on hand-marked paper ballots under strict human oversight. Election officials bear ultimate responsibility and cannot delegate integrity to potentially compromised electronic systems. Failure to prohibit BMD and DRE use exposes the election to undetectable manipulation. Officials are directed to confirm receipt and implementation status, including confirmation of transition to hand-marked paper ballots, to their state election authority within 48 hours. - End of Notice -

@AZSecretary Secretary Fontes, You state that threats will not prevent you from doing your job and protecting voter privacy. As Arizona’s chief elections officer, you are required to ensure transparency in election administration. I formally request direct answers to these three questions: 1. Have you, or any member of your office or the Attorney General’s office, at any time directed, instructed, or encouraged Arizona county recorders or other election officials to withhold, delay, or decline compliance with any federal grand jury subpoena or Department of Justice request for 2020 election audit materials or unredacted voter registration data? If yes, identify each such communication and its precise content. 2. Prior to or during your refusal to produce the unredacted statewide voter registration list in response to the January 2026 DOJ lawsuit and related subpoenas, were you aware of any specific discrepancies, irregularities, or potential non-compliance in Arizona’s 2020 or subsequent election records that an independent federal review of those records might expose? If not, on what factual basis did you conclude that no such review was warranted? 3. Have you or anyone acting on your behalf ever communicated with any individual involved in the administration, certification, or audit of Arizona’s 2020 presidential election regarding the potential consequences of full disclosure of voter data or audit materials to federal investigators? If yes, what was the substance of those communications? A prompt, complete, and truthful response is expected.

📣Breaking Texas 🚨 Texas county election officials BEGGED the Secretary of State @TXsecofstate — TWICE — to fix a broken voter registration system before the March 3 primary. She didn't. Here's what that means for your vote. 🧵 2/ Oct. 17, 2025: TACEO, County Clerks, Tax Assessors & County Judges wrote SOS Jane Nelson: TEAM — the new statewide voter registration system — was causing: ❌ Wrong ballot styles issued ❌ Voter registration lookups failing ❌ Poll book updates malfunctioning ❌ Duplicate registrations Before the primary. 3/ Feb. 16, 2026 — 15 days before the March 3 primary — they wrote AGAIN. Still broken. Counties couldn't even mail voter registration cards. Thousands of voters had no idea if their polling place changed or if they were still registered. TEAM was still misdirecting voters on Election Day. 4/ These aren't "conspiracy theories." These are the county election officials themselves — the people running your elections — documenting in writing that the system was broken and voters would be harmed. They were right. / 5: What does a broken TEAM system mean for your vote? → Provisional ballots issued when they shouldn't be → Wrong ballot styles handed to voters → Mail ballot tracking failures → Poll workers calling the county office to verify — causing lines This isn't hypothetical. Counties said it would happen. It did. / 6: And here's what the SOS never answered: If TEAM couldn't accurately track WHO voted, WHO got a mail ballot, or WHAT PRECINCT you're in — How do we know the results are accurate? We don't. That's the point. / 7: The solution counties asked for was simple: ✅ Freeze system changes before the election ✅ Publish an escalation matrix ✅ Provide paper-based backup plans ✅ A real-time status dashboard None of it was provided in time. / 8 : Texas counties went on record. The SOS had the receipts 4+ months before March 3. The question isn't whether TEAM failed voters. The question is: why was the primary certified as if it didn't? #txlege Sources below:

🚨 BREAKING: Dallas County GOP Chair Allen West admitted in writing this morning that he unilaterally overrode a legally binding, CEC-authorized election contract — and published a 500-word justification calling it leadership. It is not leadership. It is a constitutional and statutory violation. And it demands an immediate answer: Should Allen West resign? Here is what happened. In September 2025, the Dallas County Republican Party’s County Executive Committee voted overwhelmingly to end countywide voting and return to precinct-based voting for the 2026 primary cycle. They memorialized that decision in a legally binding election services contract signed December 31, 2025. Under Texas Election Code §31.093(c), the CEC is the sole adopting authority for primary election contracts. That is not a procedural preference — it is the statutory expression of the constitutional republican form of local self-government guaranteed under Texas Constitution Art. I §§1–2 and Article 6 § 4 On March 3rd, Dallas Republicans turned out in record numbers — 104,000 voters versus 88,000 in 2022. Voter misdirection that day was caused by faulty data from the Dallas County Elections Department ePollbooks and the @TXsecofstate Secretary of State’s own website — not by precinct-based voting. Rather than hold those agencies accountable, West capitulated. With no advance warning, no CEC vote, no motion, and no discussion, West signed an amended contract reverting to countywide voting for the May 26 runoff — then issued a press release to the media before his own committee knew. He chose to surrender the CEC’s lawful authority without ever bringing the question to the governing body that authorized the original contract. 64 precinct chairs sent West a formal letter demanding he reverse course. His response: he had “no interest” in their requests — and authorized the letter’s public release. This morning he escalated further, calling his own removal vote at the third Monday of April CEC meeting. West compared himself to a battlefield commander protecting his troops. But the CEC is not his unit to command. It is the constitutional governing body he was elected to serve. This is not mob-rule democracy. The Dallas County Republican Party is a constitutional republican form of local self-government — with mandatory constitutional and statutory standards. The chair serves the CEC. The CEC does not serve the chair. This was never about convenience. The CEC voted for precinct-based voting to fulfill their sworn constitutional duty — to protect the secrecy, security, purity, and auditability of the ballot box on Election Day. Countywide voting is not a neutral alternative. It produces at least six constitutionally and statutorily unacceptable outcomes: ❌ Ballot secrecy violated ❌ Wrong ballots delivered to voters ❌ Virtually unauditable results ❌ Unverifiable chain of custody ❌ Large-scale fraud made feasible ❌ Unrecoverable failure when it breaks These are not opinions. They are documented, statutory, and constitutional failures. The CEC’s sworn duty is to prevent every single one of them. West surrendered that duty without a single adverse court ruling requiring him to do so. The oath has no convenience exception. Texas Election Code §276.019 defines “election official” to include “a chair of a county political party holding a primary.” TEC §276.018 prohibits an election official from altering any election procedure mandated by law without express statutory authorization. West altered the runoff voting method without a CEC vote — and confirmed it in writing on his own website this morning. Allen West should resign immediately — or the CEC should remove him at the April meeting. 👉 Full PC Alert: pb-site.com/p/HKNBdFn6MJD COMMENT📣 SHOULD HE RESIGN? @TallyTexas @CauseofAmerica @RealAmericasVoice @EpochTimes #txlege #DallasCounty #DCRP #TexasElectionIntegrity #txlege #May26Runoff

President Trump filed an immediate appeal after a federal judge ordered a halt to the privately funded White House ballroom project, citing a lack of congressional approval despite the President's claims of national security and structural necessity.

JUST IN: Iranian state television is broadcasting footage of American military wreckage on Iranian soil. Two Black Hawk helicopters and one C-130 transport, burned in the mountains of southern Isfahan. Iran says it shot them down. The United States says it blew them up itself. The full story is that American special forces were stranded inside Iran after their aircraft failed, destroyed their own machines to protect their secrets, and waited for a second wave to take them home. The sequence, reconstructed from Fox News and the New York Times citing senior US officials, is this. After the F-15E was shot down on April 3, JSOC operators and Pararescuemen inserted into the Dehdasht mountains via Night Stalker helicopters to extract the evading weapons systems officer. Two C-130 transports landed at a remote forward arming and refuelling point inside Iran to support the operation. Both aircraft became immobilised. Whether the cause was terrain, enemy fire, mechanical failure under combat load, or some combination is not publicly confirmed. What is confirmed is that the aircraft could not leave. The operators faced the decision that defines the difference between this war and every press conference about it. Leave the aircraft intact and let the IRGC capture American avionics, encrypted communications, night-vision technology, and classified software. Or destroy the aircraft, strand themselves deeper inside enemy territory, and trust that a second rescue would come for the rescuers. They chose the second option. Three additional transports arrived under fire. The stranded operators, the Pararescuemen, and the WSO boarded. They flew out of Iran. Zero casualties. The operation that began as a rescue of one man became a rescue of the rescuers, and all of them made it out because nobody in the chain decided the mission was too broken to complete. The footage Iran is showing tonight is real. American military hardware, destroyed on Iranian territory. But it was not destroyed by Iran. It was destroyed by Americans who flew it there, because the secrets inside the machines were worth more than the machines, and because the operators trusted their country would send more aircraft into hostile territory to bring them home after they blew up their ride. The last time American aircraft were destroyed on Iranian soil was Desert One, 1980. A helicopter collided with a C-130. Eight Americans died. The mission aborted. The wreckage was paraded on Iranian television for weeks. Forty-six years later, American aircraft were destroyed on Iranian soil again. This time the destruction was deliberate. Nobody died. The man they came for came with them. And the footage Iran broadcasts as a victory is evidence of operators who chose to sacrifice hardware rather than secrets, and a chain of command that sent three more planes into the same airspace to finish what the first wave started. The wreckage is real. What it represents depends on who is looking. Iran sees downed American aircraft. America sees a rescue that succeeded despite losing its ride home. The truth is in the burning metal: a war that was supposed to be easy just required the most complex combat extraction in decades, and the men who pulled it off had to destroy their own helicopters to do it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
