Brandon Gill really going whole hog for Paxton at this Lubbock rally, even going so far as to claim Paxton is a fighter against big tech. That would be news to the owner & proprietor of this site, along with the rest of the tech players spending big against Talarico

“Flávio has given up,” an adviser to the Bolsonaro family told me. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week and that he may have a long prison term ahead.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Some reports of delays at voting stations in Israelis Negev, possibly Intentional, to make people wait. Voters here are primarily Palestinian/ Bedouin citizens
אני מקבלת דיווחים על עיכובים לא סבירים בקלפיות בנגב. דיווחים על עבודה איטית בקלפיות. טענות שבמכוון מושכים זמן במציאת השמות ברשימות, ואז מייצרים עומסים. לפעמים נכנסים לקלפי אנשים בודדים בשעה שלמה, כשבחוץ תור ענק של שעה ושעתיים. בתמונה, תור בתל שבע

MUST READ: The WhatsApp messages shaking up the oil tanker industry. "... The details vary, but the messages from Sinokor Group [...] mostly boil down to the same thing — one of its vessels has just been hired at a new sky-high rate..." @alexlongley1 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

New: we got leaked audio of Flock's CEO speaking at a police conference. He said backlash to Flock isn't real (said it's bots and paid protesters; no evidence); his wife told him to never apologize; and he may never do media interviews again. Listen: 404media.co/in-leaked-audio-…
