A major security lapse has exposed hours of live surveillance footage from the San Francisco Police Department’s drone program.

The footage offers a rare glimpse into the scale of aerial policing now taking place over one of America’s largest cities.

According to WIRED, two cybersecurity researchers discovered that live feeds from five SFPD drones had been publicly accessible through a web link generated by drone manufacturer Skydio.

The stream reportedly remained exposed for months before it was taken offline.

The leaked footage showed drones tracking suspects through city streets, monitoring apartment buildings, following vehicles, and assisting officers during arrests and investigations.

In one example, multiple drones tracked a suspect across San Francisco before officers surrounded and arrested him following what police described as an alleged vehicle theft-related incident.

The researchers, Sam Curry and Maik Robert, said the publicly accessible feeds included live color and thermal video, GPS location data, and information identifying drone operators.

The archive reportedly contained roughly 60 videos from 20 separate drone flights conducted over approximately 48 hours, documenting hundreds of people and vehicles throughout the city.

According to the report, San Francisco’s drone program has expanded significantly since launching in 2024.

The department has increased its fleet from six drones to 98, with officers conducting more than 1,400 drone deployments between May 2024 and March 2026.

WIRED reported that the exposed footage captured police responding to alleged vehicle thefts, missing person investigations, reports of armed suspects, welfare checks and other incidents.

The publication said the exposed link appeared to have been created without password protection or an expiration date, allowing anyone who discovered the address to view the live feeds.

The San Francisco Police Department said the link was intended only for internal law enforcement use and called it an “internal restricted link.”

“After being made aware of the vulnerability, SFPD has put more restrictive sharing protocols in place to ensure unauthorized individuals will not be able to access our footage,” the department said.

“At this time, we do not have information that other individuals were accessing the live drone feed. This matter remains under investigation.”

President Nayib Bukele’s approval to seek a third consecutive term marks one of the most significant political transformations in El Salvador’s recent history, following a series of constitutional reforms driven by his party, Nuevas Ideas.

Bukele consolidated his power through a legislative supermajority, with 57 of the Legislative Assembly’s 60 seats, giving his government the ability to pass sweeping constitutional and political reforms.

The most significant changes include:

• Eliminating presidential term limits, allowing indefinite reelection.
• Extending the presidential term from five to six years.
• Abolishing the presidential runoff system, allowing candidates to win with a simple majority.
• Synchronizing presidential, legislative, and municipal elections.

The 2021 overhaul of the judiciary, including the dismissal of Constitutional Chamber justices and the attorney general, followed by a new constitutional interpretation allowing immediate presidential reelection, paved the way for Bukele’s continued hold on power.

Bukele continues to enjoy approval ratings above 80%, largely driven by his aggressive anti-gang security strategy, under which more than 90,000 people have been arrested since the state of emergency was declared in 2022.

At the same time, national and international human rights organizations have criticized the erosion of judicial independence, the prolonged state of emergency, alleged arbitrary arrests, restrictions on due process, and the growing concentration of power in the executive branch.

Overall, El Salvador’s experience illustrates how strong public support, a legislative supermajority, constitutional reforms, and institutional changes have enabled Bukele to consolidate an unprecedented level of political power, while continuing to fuel debate between supporters who credit him with restoring security and critics who warn about the weakening of democratic checks and balances.

New Jersey’s new Governor Mikie Sherrill is refusing to fly the state’s American flags at half mast following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, despite a directive from the Trump White House to do so.

When Democrats aren’t openly celebrating the deaths of Republicans, they are denying them basic humanity by refusing to honor their passing.

And these same people will then run to the media and say that we’re so divided as a country and blame the whole thing on Trump. It’s disgusting.

FOX News reports:

Sherrill ripped after New Jersey skips flag directive honoring Graham: ‘Most political governor’

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is taking heat after state flag status records showed flags at full-staff despite a White House proclamation directing U.S. flags flown at half-staff nationwide in remembrance of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., through Saturday evening.

“This is probably the most political [Trenton administration], and she’s only been there six months — probably the most political governor I’ve served with in the last 25 years,” New Jersey state Sen. Joe Pennacchio, R-Boonton, told Fox News Digital Thursday. He formally requested the governor lower the flags earlier this week after Graham’s death.

A Trenton source confirmed that flags at the Capitol remained at full-staff as of midday Thursday. A New Jersey Department of State website tracking flag status also indicated “all flags full-staff” on Thursday.

Sherrill, whose office did not respond to multiple requests for comment, appeared to be one of a handful of Democratic state leaders to ignore the White House’s proclamation.

Neighboring Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro both reportedly ordered flags lowered, along with leaders of California, Colorado, Maryland…

This makes her look like a truly awful human being.

Mikie Sherrill is anti American trash

No shame whatsoever https://t.co/IDhKJcTx7f

Nithya Raman, the Democratic Socialist (communist) running for mayor of Los Angeles, is also a member of the LA City Council, who chairs their special council on homelessness.

Last year, the city enacted a plan that was championed by Raman, which was intended to get homeless people off the streets and into apartments.

Despite carrying out the plan, which cost $60 million, only three units have been housed as a result.

Los Angeles residents can look forward to more of this kind of success in the future, no matter who wins the current race for mayor, Raman or incumbent Karen Bass.

The New York Post reports:

LA blew $60M on homeless ‘fix’ — it housed just three units

Just three out of a promised 2,000 apartments have been used to relocate the homeless in Nithya Raman’s failed $60 million project to get people off the streets.

Councilmember Raman, the chair of the Los Angeles City Council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee, introduced the Time Limited Subsidy program back in September as a cheaper alternative to Mayor Karen Bass’ Inside Safe Program — meant to get homeless people into an established residence.

Raman’s plan was to lease and move homeless people into 2,000 apartments and subsidize their rent, rather than pay for them to stay in motels or shelters.

However, nearly a year after that plan was launched — with $62.6 million in taxpayer funds behind it — only three apartments are occupied.

The City Council first approved investing in the subsidy model last September as part of its strategy for complying with a court settlement with the Los Angeles Alliance for Human Rights.

Four months later, on January 28, the council approved resources for a redesigned program targeting 2,000 households…

However, only three units had occupants by June 25, according to a July 1 presentation to Raman’s powerful homeless committee — a damning result for a program Raman has campaigned to take citywide if elected Mayor.

There are probably quite a few reasons why this plan failed, but the main one is something that Spencer Pratt understands and spoke about on the campaign trail.

The vast majority of homeless people living on the streets of Los Angeles are not there because they are simply down on their luck. They are drug addicts, or mentally ill, or both.

Pratt might have actually fixed this problem because he understood it. Democrats and the bureaucrats who control the city simply don’t want the problem solved.

There are too many people in LA who make an excellent living ‘fixing’ the homeless problem.

VoterGA: Declassified Documents Prove President Trump Right on Elections

Here is VoterGA’s report covering President Trump’s presentation last night.

ATLANTA, GA. JULY 16, 2026 – President Donald Trump announced in his speech to the nation tonight an unprecedented declassification of over 10 million pages of intelligence documents, including emails and texts, detailing how U.S. elections have been compromised and continue to be unsecure. He also explained some of the startling intelligence revealed:

1. Chinese adversaries breached U.S. voter rolls to steal the identity of 220 million registered voters and have used them repeatedly to exploit U.S. elections since 2020;
2. U.S. intelligence officials covered up the Chinese breach from January 2020 through June 2026 by refusing to brief Congress or Presidents Biden and Trump;
3. Venezuelan adversaries devised a scheme to electronically hack into voting systems without detection and have used the scheme to manipulate dozens of elections worldwide for decades;
4. A Democrat funded Michigan organization conducted a fake voter registration operation that submitted over ten thousand false 2020 Michigan voter registrations. These crimes were not prosecuted by the Biden administration;
5. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) purchased voter rolls that some states refused to give to the Department of Justice. DHS recently concluded that 278,000 non-citizens are registered in 18 states, including some intentional registrations.

The newly declassified intelligence provides overwhelming evidence that:

1. President Trump was right about 2020 election security all along;
2. Our own government officials withheld, or refused to act on, these urgent national security matters and allowed the will of the people to be subverted;
3. Several national news outlets were complicit in covering up the corruption and even attacked those who have now been vindicated for reporting the truth.

Garland Favorito, co-founder of VoterGA, which has reported these types of election fraud evidence for decades added: 

The President provided all of the evidence needed to illustrate what we have said for over a year: We are in the midst of a major national security crisis that poses a devastating threat to the security of 2026 U.S. elections.”
