Raw Story: Joyce Vance on Trump wanting SCOTUS to rule that USPS can create a national voter database & only send mail-in ballots to people on that list: “Trump filed the appeal less than 100 days before the midterms, which means he's concerned about losing power. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Republican megadonor Ronald Lauder has closed his checkbook for political donations. In this case it may be due to financial and family considerations, but the ROI for billionaires is gonna need examination.
Despite what some in media are saying, Jeanine Pirro did NOT do the “right thing” when she dropped the criminal case over the Reflecting pool. She dropped this case as an act of self-preservation for her law license. In reality, Pirro still should be disbarred! My video youtu.be/Kumyh7wVHFE?...
Here is why Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred for her BS Reflecting Pool prosecution

"Irrational... leaders so trapped by self-regard, so isolated, so imprisoned within their own sense of infallibility that they refuse to consider any arguments or information that conflicts with their beliefs." "((Ceausescu) and his wife died shouting orders at their firing squad.)"
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · yesterdayThe war in Iran has shown that Trump’s inability to perceive reality has become truly dangerous. Iran is a disaster, but Trump’s irrationality could create other, even more perilous situations. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Jeanine Pirro should take note but instead, she will continue to be Trump’s dog until he fires her. #Pinks
Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"
The surveillance and secrecy are bad enough; frightening in every aspect. What is worse for me is governments handing over basic parts of their jobs (however problematic) to private corporations. This is how fascism starts: when corporate interests are de facto the government's. Just watch "Brazil"
8/ A human rights lawyer with Network in Defense of Digital Rights put it plainly, you cannot hold a system accountable if you cannot even name who built it. Keep asking who is behind the cameras. Keep demanding the contracts. Keep watching the people who are watching you.
7/ How does a company like this stay invisible for decades? Mexican agencies cited national security to withhold records. U.S. agencies said requests were too broad or simply never responded. That is not an accident, that is the accountability gap working exactly as designed.
6/ This is not a clean operator. A $220 million Tamaulipas contract was flagged for financial and legal irregularities. A $59 million helicopter deal in Michoacan drew the same warning. A former Guanajuato governor later moved into a Texas home tied to a Seguritech executive.
5/ Chihuahua officials admit they already share data with Customs and Border Protection, the FBI, the DEA, the ATF, and ICE. Meanwhile Seguritech has quietly registered its own companies in Texas and Delaware since 2016, building a foothold inside the country it is watching.
4/ In April 2022, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a deal with Chihuahua Governor Maria Eugenia Campos Galvan. That deal gave Texas direct access to surveillance data Chihuahua collects using Seguritech's cameras, drones, and license plate readers. No public vote happened.
3/ Grupo Seguritech started in 1995 as a small home alarm business run by a father and son, Shimon Picker and Ariel Zeev Picker Schatz. Today the firm runs at least 188 command centers and operates in 26 of Mexico's 32 states. That is what unchecked growth looks like.
2/ Investigative reporters mapped 31 companies and $1.27B in Mexican surveillance contracts since 2012. The company also runs more than 188 command centers across 26 of Mexico's 32 states. Full investigation and receipts: typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...
A Mexican surveillance giant you’ve never heard of is now watching the US border - Type Investigations

1/ 🧵 A private company almost nobody has heard of just built a $1.27 billion surveillance empire across Mexico, and it is now wiring that camera and license plate data straight into Texas under a quiet border deal. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
