In light of the revelation today of DHS’s massive operation to spy on social media critics of their policies, remember this I posted a few months ago about the tech they bought that can do just this—and how the company markets itself to do political surveillance.

Just learning that ICE has a $4.2 million contract for social media surveillance/AI analysis with Fivecast. A few years ago I came across a brochure of theirs which used as an example for potential police customers their ability to map left-wing groups. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

An issue seemingly lost in the Dr. Fauci hearing today is how Senator Rand Paul was able to obtain Fauci's private diaries and release them to the public. I haven't read much about how this happened. Not sure what the 1st or 4th Amendment are doing these days -- perhaps just taking a long snooze.

A decade ago, Facebook was so worried about rising misinformation that it paid various news outlets to hire writers specifically tasked with publishing Snopes-like fact-checks. Today, the company is leaping into bed with a purveyor of misinformation to toy with a tool known for getting facts wrong.

The top part of a Newsmax press release dated 28 July 2026 headlined "Newsmax and Meta Enter AI Content Partnership." The screenshotted text of the press release reads: BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Newsmax Inc. (NYSE:NMAX) ("Newsmax" or the "Company") announced today that the Company has entered into an AI content partnership with Meta Platforms ("Meta"). Under the agreement, Meta will have access to Newsmax's digital news content. Meta will be able to draw upon Newsmax's significant current reporting as well as archived content across its platforms to support AI queries across Meta's apps and devices. "Newsmax applauds the significant resources Meta is putting into AI to keep America at the forefront of this emerging technology," commented Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax. "We are pleased to work with Meta to help ensure users have access to timely, high-quality journalism through AI technologies."

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

If you get upset about this, right-wingers will call you humorless. Meanwhile, well-meaning folks will say you shouldn't get upset b/c it's just a distraction, and you should focus on policy fights and on winning in November. As for me: This isn't funny, and it's good to take time to be angry.

I can't believe we're back to this. This is an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech. IP laws can be enforced against illegal streaming. Seizing and shutting down an entire website because some of the content on it is infringing is not authorized by the law. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/unite...
