Government owes citizens both public safety and public accountability.
My case in @AmericanIntel_: retain useful surveillance tools like @flocksafety, but bind government and its private partners to law and restraint.

One of the law students here has recently traveled to SCOTUS and discovered that I bear a striking resemblance to Chief Justice Melville Fuller, coming to show me the picture lol (this is from the internet, but her photo was from the same angle).
Based on these results, Independents are closer to Democrats in these value priorities than to Republicans. This is true both in terms of mean absolute difference (4.83pp vs. 8.33pp) and Spearman rank correlation (+0.774 vs. +0.402).
Rather than interpreting this as anyone having incorrect value priorities, I'd look at it as Republicans having a unique set of value priorities among this set. This represents an opportunity to make strong presentations from those points of difference. Winsomeness will go a long way.
New Gallup poll asks "which values the country most needs today?"
Out of a list of 12 values, Republicans put "patriotism" #1, for Dems it ranks dead last - by a lot.
Dems say "equality" is most needed, Republicans rank it 11th out of 12.

A lot of polls and factoids are meaningless.
This one is not.
It tells the whole story of the divide.

Regulation for Flock and other surveillance companies to ensure accountability and protection is the right way to go. I also wrote about this, though a bit more aggressively than @CharlesFLehman and @Rafa_Mangual (link in next), though this would also be a good start.

🚨 TUESDAY TAKEDOWN: STEAL SNAP. GET BUSTED.
More than $1 MILLION in alleged SNAP fraud at a Michigan convenience store.
Mohinder Singh, operator of Romario’s Party Store in Lansing, was indicted on one count of theft of public money and nine counts of SNAP fraud.
Prosecutors allege he:
▪️ Gave customers just 50 cents in cash for every $1 in SNAP benefits.
▪️ Accepted SNAP benefits to pay off personal debts and store credit.
▪️ Exchanged benefits for ineligible items.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison for theft of public money and up to five years for each SNAP fraud count.
SNAP is meant to help families put FOOD on the table. Taxpayers should never bankroll a fraud scheme.

“If you are in this country illegally, it is virtually impossible for you to live in this country and not commit additional legal violations—working without authorization, identity theft. There’s a lot of illegality that goes on when you are breaking the law.” @DHSGenCounsel

🚨Today, Texas Children’s Hospital has officially launched their Detransition Clinic 🚨
Under the settlement, TCH must provide multidisciplinary detransition-related care FREE OF CHARGE for five years, including endocrinology, surgery, primary care, fertility counseling, mental health services, social work, and speech pathology.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude once again to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and my attorneys at the Burke Law Group for their extraordinary dedication, sacrifice, and tireless efforts throughout this fight. Their commitment helped turn a painful and difficult chapter into an opportunity for meaningful change. @KenPaxtonTX @BurkeLawTweets
I think of all the detransitioners who have suffered in silence, been dismissed, and fought desperately to have their voices heard. This win is for them.
I hope TCH’s admirable effort to fund and launch Americas first detransition clinic becomes a turning point for the entire country. That this clinic is not the exception, but the first of many.
Today’s a good day. ❤️

Let me put up a scenario to show you how cool this is.
Imagine a small child wanders off from a rural home or a campsite. Often it takes hours to get the first dogs on the scene – hours more to organize a full search.
Imagine 2 operators managing 5-10 drones with lidar and thermal sensors executing an automated search rapidly. It's a game changer.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
