INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
The Texas State Capitol building, known for being a place where it's easy - perhaps, even encouraged - for visitors to carry in their guns, saw a credible gun threat narrowly averted by law enforcement yesterday. Texas transplant Elon Musk is named a high-level consultant in a new Trump administration effort to extend American autonomous lethal weaponry “from subterranean depths to the cislunar frontier”. Ken Paxton is busted trashing Trump's recent Dallas convention. And Common Cause is underway with a massive recruitment effort for election observers and voter support.
