.@VP shld request manual recounts (& ballot images) bc Rs blocked legislation that wld have required robust manual audits for federal races, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states, & bomb threats forced evacuations of election offices. But if u are spreading half-baked calculations & other nonsense, u are undermining our ability to persuade @VP to request recounts. 1/
7/ Another. Compare @Spoonamore’s “bullet ballot” claim on the left with his admission today on the right.
@Spoonamore 8/ I wrote about Republicans blocking the #SAFEAct election security bill (which @VP endorsed) and the subsequent MAGA voting system breaches here for @BucksCoBeacon. These two factors alone warrant recounts. buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
9/ “State police provided a list of 32 [Pennsylvania] counties that received [hoax bomb] threats [on Election Day], though a spokesperson cautioned that it might not be comprehensive.” Here is the list. (Bucks & York did not evacuate, per the article.) 11/7/24 goerie.com/story/news/pol…
@Spoonamore @VP @BucksCoBeacon 10/ “Ten Arizona counties were targeted by … hoax bomb threats on Election Day *** Arizona AG Kris Mayes revealed Tuesday that 2/3 of Arizona’s counties — twice as many as was previously known — received bomb threats on Election Day.” 11/12/24 azmirror.com/briefs/ten-ari…
11/ “Georgia secretary of state says there were over 60 [hoax] bomb threats during election” 11/12/24 11alive.com/article/news/p…
12/ The #SAFEAct (endorsed by @VP) also would have required the removal of wireless modems from ballot scanners. Again, however, the GOP blocked it.
13/ Rs will accept no...cybersecurity standards...I pointed out that right now...u can have a voting machine w/ a[]... connection to the internet, which is the equivalent of stashing...ballots in the Kremlin. And the Rs objected &...sat down...” @RonWyden, 2/19/20 fastcompany.com/90465001/senat…

WTH? First, a company (“Hugging Face”) said it had “resorted to [an open source] Chinese AI model to battle a fully autonomous cyberattack bc US model guardrails stymied its defense”
Then we’re told that the perpetrator was a rogue “OpenAI test model” that had “escaped”. 1/
👀 El Salvador's AI Agency has named Ginger Luckey Gaetz (Matt Gaetz's wife, Palmer Luckey's sister) as Strategic Advisor. Palmer’s firm Anduril is backed by Peter Thiel & partners w/ Palantir.

😳 Jacob Helberg—who left his position as an advisor at *Palantir* to join Trump’s State Dept—spearheads the international “Pax Silica” initiative. In May, he discussed it w/ Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale: “Jacob Helberg on Pax Silica & the New Global Order in the AI Age” 1/
Well, well, well. In early 2025, the wife of Brendan Carr (Trump’s FCC chairman) “joined billionaire Peter Thiel’s data analytics firm, Palantir Technologies, as its head of global policy.” 4/28/25 … 1/
3/ Brendan Carr also spoke during Reboot 2024–hosted by the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI) whose board at that time included *Peter Thiel* protege Michael Kratsios (now a Trump official) & Mike Solana, a VP at *Peter Thiel’s* Founders Fund. h/t @sf_mills
😳 Trump wants to redirect $200B “toward AI, away from Colleges”*** The plan was laid out in a new report by the Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) — led by “Peter Thiel Protégé” Michael Kratsios. 1/
