"House Republicans will continue to hold Hunter Biden’s feet to the fire... no one–not even the president’s son–is above the law.” -Tom Emmer, 1.17.24 "Don Jr is a private citizen and businessman so this unwarranted attack will go nowhere," -Tom Emmer, 9.23.26 @GOPMajorityWhip

I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact. Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you. Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you? Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.

Seven million people bought Meta's Ray Ban AI glasses last year. They thought they were getting a cool gadget. They were actually installing surveillance cameras on their own faces. What just leaked out of Kenya changes everything. Swedish newspapers just broke a massive story. Workers in Nairobi, Kenya say Meta is sending them footage from inside people's homes. Raw video from your bathroom, bedroom, private moments. The glasses record every time you activate the AI. But here's the part Meta doesn't want you to know: People forget the camera is still rolling. They set the glasses on a nightstand, on a bathroom counter and walk away. The camera doesn't. One worker described watching a man leave a room then his wife walked in and started changing clothes. She had no idea a camera was pointed at her. She had no idea a stranger in Kenya was watching. And it gets worse. Workers report seeing people having sex, using the toilet. One annotator saw a user's full debit card number, account number, everything clear as day on screen. This is Meta's system working exactly as designed. The company sends this footage to a firm called Sama in Nairobi. Workers label the content frame by frame to train Meta's AI. And if you raise concerns? "You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone." That's a direct quote from one of the annotators. They watch your private life and they can't even talk about it. Meta technically discloses this in its terms of service. Buried, deep in language no normal person would ever read. One annotator put it plainly: "If they knew about the extent of the data collection, no one would dare to use the glasses." Meta says faces are blurred before human review. Former employees admit the blurring fails constantly. Bad lighting, certain angles and faces come through clear. The privacy protection is a filter that doesn't work. And it's about to get worse. The New York Times obtained an internal Meta memo revealing plans to add facial recognition to the glasses. The feature is called name tag. Look at a stranger and the AI tells you who they are. The memo acknowledged the feature carries "safety and privacy risks." But Meta's Reality Labs had a strategy: "We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns." Once your footage enters Meta's AI training system, it's permanent. You can't delete it, you can't opt out and can't untrain the model. A data protection attorney warned: "The user effectively loses control." Your private moments become Zuckerberg's training data. Forever. Seven million pairs sold in 2025, up from two million the year before. Meta is ramping production to 30 million units. And almost none of those buyers understood what they were actually agreeing to. This is a surveillance apparatus marketed as a fashion accessory. The Google Home scandal was bad. At least those cameras stayed in one room. These glasses go everywhere you go, they see everything you see. And when you forget to turn them off, strangers on the other side of the world see it too. Bookmark and share this.

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered? Noem: I don’t know. Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out. You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

TOTALLY PAW-SOME. 🇮🇹🐶 #WinterOlympics

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has attacked USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess on social media, calling him a “real loser” for expressing concern about the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE. RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!

This shouldn’t be a right-or-left issue. Masked federal agents shooting and killing an American citizen for no reason in broad daylight and then smearing him as a “domestic terrorist” should horrify everyone. This is police state behavior.

This is even worse than I imagined. The victim was trying to help a person pushed to the ground by the agent when he was maced, wrestled to the ground and then shot and killed. No justification for this shooting.

@CrimeWatchMpls @FBI January 6th?

She was his everything.💔 RIP Renee Good.

@JDVance This New York Times analysis of the situation is compelling, @JDVance. I'd encourage you -- and my fellow Americans -- to watch it. nytimes.com/video/us/10000…

This image captures the moment the agent fired his weapon for the second time. I don't know what else to say here. He's at a 90 degree angle to the driver, his life is not at risk and anyone claiming otherwise is lying. His goal in this moment is to shoot the driver. That's it.

Can't stop staring at the stuffed animals next to the blood-soaked airbag in the car of the innocent woman that ICE murdered today.

Those who back Trump and his administration, pay attention.

Trump: I’d have “no problem” releasing the video of the second Venezuela boat strike. Trump, 5 days later: I never said that. This is ABC fake news.

@NickMensio Incomprehensible game plan. Draft Jeanty as a rebuilding team and do not use him.

@ckone47 I saw them with a neighbor. Very high and moving fast

More thoughts on @kilmeade comments. Sick. @FoxNews

Oh, it's known quite well where he was born. The country's name starts with R and ends with "ussia", and his real name is Gorokhovsky. It's absolutely unreal how much Putin has infiltrated the US government thanks to Trump's wilful compliance or incompetence or both.

The man you see in this photo with trump and Wiles is Sergio Gor, he's a trump adviser with interim security clearance and unfettered access to the president, yet no one even knows where he was born....
