Elon Musk has given more to US elections in the past year and a half than George Soros has personally given in nearly five decades, per a Fortune analysis of federal filings.
Musk: $427.5 million to federal political committees since May 2025
Soros: $243.2 million personally since 1979
Musk’s lifetime federal total, $723.8 million, is about three times Soros’ personal total.

The "crimes" for which these Jewish businesses are being targeted in Philadelphia:
Goldie, Dizengoff, and K'Far Café:
Co-owned by chef Michael Solomonov and his business partner.
Following the October 7, 2023 attacks, they donated $100,000 to United Hatzalah, an Israeli volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) organization.
Their crime? Helping provide medical care.
Schlesinger's Deli
Hosted a fundraiser in October 2023 for the local Jewish Federation's Philly Stands with Israel emergency relief fund.
Crime? Helping fund emergency services in the immediate aftermath of Oct 7.
Huda
A burger shop that has no publicly reported political donations; the owner previously trained in Israel.
Crime? Training to cook in Israel.
Mac Mart
A macaroni-and-cheese shop that has made no political or international donations. Its Jewish co-owner stated she has never brought politics into her business and believes she was added to the boycott list simply for wearing a Star of David necklace.
Crime? Not hiding her Jewish identity.
(Interestingly, businesses not owned by Jews that support Israel aren't being targeted.)

I know it’s basically like a normal, every day human being sneezing in $100 bill….
But Elon losing Texas after that much of a push is truly a *chefs kiss* tonight and I can just rest my head a little easier before I go back to my day-to-day grind tomorrow.

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises.
All Republicans had to do was:
1. put Americans First
2. not start another war
3. prosecute sex traffickers

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico:
I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. He hit it head on.
I have been around politicians my entire life. I served 5 governors, I’ve met 4 presidents… And James Talarico is so different than other people I’ve encountered.
I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

It was actually our 250th anniversary.
Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.

July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip.

Shout out to the people that aren’t fans of the Brewers or the Rays, but they’re still up at midnight watching the 12th inning of the World Series because it might be the last chance to watch baseball for 5 months. The true baseball fans.

NEW: The NCAA tells us ZERO trans student-athletes are now competing in women's sports.
Why does 15% of America think there are tens of THOUSANDS?
