Trump carried Bucks county by 274 votes out of 400k in 2024, this dude ran on cancelling the ICE 287(g) contract, so pretty close to an "abolish ICE" platform.
He won against the incumbent by 11 percentage points, or 25,000 votes. Dem strategists are idiots.

BREAKING: Dan Ceisler, the new sheriff of Pennsylvania's Bucks County, just announced he has terminated his county's 287(g) contract with ICE.
Ceisler defeated GOP sheriff who'd joined the ICE program in November, & ran on quitting it; we reported then:

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.

The point being is that Apple didn’t remove X/Twitter from the Apple App Store despite doing so for countless other apps for far lesser transgressions of their policies.
This assumes they have principles beyond allegiance to power.
Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards
Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

“In extraordinary moments such as this, too many journalists behave as if they have more in common with billionaires destroying journalism than the 80 or so people killed in Venezuela by Trump’s airstrikes. If we’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that proximity to power does not equal power.”
New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.
