Fairshake, the crypto industry's main super PAC, says it will spend $30M to defeat Democrat Sherrod Brown in Ohio's Senate race as revenge for Democrats defeating the pro-crypto CLARITY Act.

When confronted by current bad economic data showing things getting worse, Republicans blame Biden.

When confronted with polls showing dissatisfaction, they say the polls are wrong.

When confronted with election results of voter revolts, they say the elections are rigged.

What is so frustrating about current media: DC media losing it over Dems & a Twitch streamer—running for no and holding no office—who has zilch name rec outside narrow online circles, while actual USG voices and senior leading Repubs—including those in office!— say the most vile racist stuff daily.
So in addition to being a former clerk to SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis’ lobbying clients include Hewlett Packard and Walmart. Have the CEOs of those companies been asked to “disavow” and “sever their relationships” with Mike Davis?? He is a grotesque racist.

Talked to a woman who does focus groups with young voters. And she reported that “Flock Cameras are public enemy number one.” 📸
Americans shrugged as invasive tech was normalized. So why the national resistance to data centers and Flock cameras? "The answer is salience," write RIT professors Evan Selinger and Divya Ramjee. Once harms are visible and local, "the spark for change gets lit."
Americans Shrugged Off Surveillance. Then Came Flock and Data Centers.
Opposition to data centers and Flock cameras tells us something important about why normalization isn’t inevitable, write Evan Selinger and Divya Ramjee.

Do this Democrats
With Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous."

Trump's malevolence has given Dems a big opening. They should seize on it. 1/

The Real Reason Obama’s Harsh Warning to Dems About AI Is So Unnerving
Most Democrats have more or less the right position on AI. But their arguments are way too narrow to dramatize the real stakes. They should aim higher.

The FCC will allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Abu Dhabi to own nearly 50% of a merged Paramount-Warner Bros — potentially giving them sway over our media.

This of course comes after Trump received gifts or struck business deals with these countries.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.
