This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Total catastrophe; like Putin is paying him to wreck the military
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

Don’t use Instacart
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

🛳️🛢️ Almost 180 million barrels of Russian oil are in tankers — 28% more than at the end of August, — Bloomberg.
Russia is loading oil onto tankers at an unprecedented pace, but the cargoes are piling up at sea. This puts pressure on prices and undermines Moscow's ability to finance the war.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

1/ So-called 'black commanders' are confiscating Russian soldiers' salary cards, then sending them to their deaths, failing to report them missing or killed, and stealing their salaries. This scam is reportedly widespread and has prompted many complaints from soldiers. ⬇️

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
