Google searches for health disinformation plunged after Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers.
How much “turbo cancer” & ivermectin nonsense is fueled by Russian bots, and how many Americans have they killed?
Bots spread disinformation. Humans search for it. When bots go down, so do searches.

Trump administration kept taxpayer-funded ads running after judge ordered them stopped, blames email delay
The government’s ads aired in nearly 400 television spots on programs that began at 7 p.m. Eastern — after the judge's order was already in force.

Real America's Voice interviewed a guy at the Trump rally in Ohio who blasted Trump for peddling "lies and garbage." He went so hard on Trump and JD Vance that they cut the interview short.

I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.
🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife).
Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

A Republican PAC spent nearly $25,000 running ads to help Sen. Susan Collins in Portland. Wrong Portland. They’re inept at everything.
Portland, Oregon, that is. Not Portland, Maine.

GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon
An outside group mistakenly spent nearly $25,000 to boost Collins in Portland, Oregon, rather than Portland, Maine. The buyer admitted to the error and refunded the PAC.

Gina Hinojosa’s latest internal poll has her clocking Greg Abbott!
🔵 Hinojosa: 47%
🔴 Abbott: 45%
Why do internal polls matter? Campaigns use them to identify weaknesses, target persuadable voters, and this one reinforces recent public polls showing a VERY competitive race.

Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states.
And those aren’t even national totals.
