Thank you @1011_News for fact checking Pillen and Ricketts. The misinformation map they circulated online and at their press conference was from a site that Ricketts' dad funds.

You bought a VPN to stop companies watching you.
One company owns four of the biggest VPNs — and a VPN review publisher.
The one that started as the toolkit ad injectors used.
The one that promised to block trackers and sold the browsing data for six years.
The one whose data was sold with a feed covering 50% of its customers.
Here’s what a privacy lawyer would tell you if they could speak freely:
“Check who owns what. Kape Technologies — founded 2011 as Crossrider, renamed in March 2018 — acquired CyberGhost (2017), ZenMate (2018), Private Internet Access (2019) and ExpressVPN (2021, $936 million). In the same year it also bought Webselenese, described as a VPN service review publisher. And separately: on 22 February 2024 the FTC ordered Avast to pay $16.5 million after it marketed products that would ‘block annoying tracking cookies that collect data on your browsing activities’ — and sold that browsing data to more than 100 third parties.”
The product and the recommendation can have the same shareholder.
“You didn’t choose a VPN. You chose from a list, and someone owns the list.”
Here are the 7 owners:🧵
Owner 1 is the business Kape was in before it sold privacy.

🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action.
The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk.
Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections.
The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas.
The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration.
Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment.
With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Gina Hinojosa has issued no December deadline or ultimatum to Elon Musk or Tesla on taxes. As Governor-elect she takes office January 19 2027; recent comments address data center regulations not specific tax demands.

Despite the statewide results, NE shifted blue. Jim Pillen held a press conference where he presented a map showing NE shifted more red. Data proves otherwise. The map is from Ground News - an organization funded by the Ricketts family.

We don't need to give MAGA and big oil a win after their massive loss Tuesday. The "permitting reform" bill is awful for the land, water and people. We can write our own permitting bill that actually reforms the system to build American energy that does not pollute and gives a hoot. Call your member of congress: 202-224-3121 (vote no on GOP permitting bill)

The map that some people keep circulating (and Pillen used in a press conference) showing Nebraska remaining red while the rest of the county went blue is FALSE...and guess what, Ricketts daddy is listed as an investor in the group that started to circulate the misinformation graphic. Anyway, here's a better graphic to show the real shift towards Dems in our state.

I'll say what a lot of people in banking won't say out loud.
Plenty of jobs out there still pay $17 to $23 an hour. Full-time, that's roughly $2,940 to $3,980 a month before taxes.
Now go find rent under $1,700. Add a car payment, insurance, gas, groceries, utilities, your phone bill.
That's before health insurance comes out of your check. Before student loans. Before a kid gets sick and you're out $350 at urgent care. Before your car needs a transmission fix you didn't budget for.
I've worked in wealth management for over a decade, so believe me, I'm not anti-savings. Savings matter.
But there's a point where telling someone making $20 an hour to "cut out coffee" stops being useful advice.
You cannot budget your way out of $3,800 in unavoidable monthly costs on a $3,000 paycheck. The math isn't a discipline problem.
Sometimes the spreadsheet isn't broken. The income is just too low to cover what it costs to be alive right now.

It was publicly announced and reported on Friday, August 7, 2026, that the U.S. Marshals Service had assisted in arresting five out-of-state individuals connected to a Republican petition signature fraud investigation in Lancaster County, Nebraska
Yet the @NEGOP Never commented on it because the person at the CENTER OF IT ALL, Jessica Flanagain, runs a bunch of Republican Establishment Campaigns
Jessica Flanagain, a partner at the establishments conservative consulting firm Axiom Strategies, served as a lead political consultant for Good Government Lincoln, the organization that sponsored the fraudulent city charter amendment petition.
The physical gathering of petition signatures was conducted by Vanguard Field Strategies, a field-work subsidiary of Axiom Strategies
This has always been the problem in Nebraska, the grassroots caves to the party’s Establishment every time

Is the police attacking GrapheneOS users?
Netherlands is launching a large-scale police operation to seize Google Pixel Phones, part of a major state-sponsored campaign against GrapheneOS.
Some of the citizens are fleeing the country, afraid of police abuse.
They can track phones through cellular networks, but locating a device doesn't mean they can decrypt it. The state will do anything to stop privacy-focused users. If you thought you were safe from criminals while using GOS, you were right, and the government doesn't like that.
They don't want you to be safe; they want control, and they will enforce it by any means possible.
We're reaching a point where people may feel they need to hide the fact that they're using GrapheneOS. And that's an even stronger reason why we should continue using it.
Now, Pixel Devices, then scan your ID to access weather reports and get your ID leaked by shitty government database security.
Privacy is not a crime. It's a human right.
Fight for privacy.
Fight for freedom.
See ad.nl/binnenland/paniek-in-o… for an example of what's ongoing in the Netherlands to scare people away from using open source privacy projects. It's also ongoing in Germany at the same time with similar talking points. This largely started in Spain and has been worst in France.

If you're listening to Rachel Maddow right now, you'll understand exactly why Elon Musk desperately needs a presidential pardon.
His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) attempted to scrape personal data on the American people from every federal agency, aiming to rig the 2026 midterm elections. The Trump regime wanted to ensure they could never be voted out of power — and Musk was central to this authoritarian takeover.
However, the "Frankenstein list" compiled by DOGE was so deeply flawed and riddled with errors that even the fascist-friendly Roberts Supreme Court rejected it.
