Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.
Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
The Stars and Stripes historically reflected the interests of the troops. Not it will be controlled by their bosses.
My column from Monday. Facing growing outrage over Alabama’s region-leading power bills, GOP leaders are trying to turn the discussion to . . . George Soros. It’s a sign they don’t want to confront a system that benefits utilities, either because they benefit, too, or because silence is easier.
I have absolutely no doubt that come the midterms the GOP in Texas is going to do every single thing it can to suppress votes, including causing as much confusion as possible on Election Day. The GOP cannot afford to lose the midterms in Texas so be prepared for all kinds of shenanigans.
I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

Exclusive 1m ago The Trump administration will receive a $10 billion fee for brokering the deal that kept TikTok alive in the U.S.
JFC.
Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.
This is exactly how Putin became one of the wealthiest men in the world. He got a cut of every major industry. That's exactly what is going on here.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea.

Mamdani treating CBS News the way every Democrat should have been treating Fox News for the past two decades.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Hey does anyone remember how we had like a decade of near zero interest rates? Thank god the USA spent that time investing in infrastructure! What a calamity if we had just squandered the last best chance of our lives
This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
Great point from @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social: From Minneapolis to the Mideast, Trump keeps discovering that he can't bully and bullshit his way through. Failure to grasp real-world complexities keeps blowing up in his face.
On the pod, Nick is so illuminating:

One thing I think is bad is when a single corporation controlled by a single malicious billionaire is permitted to become a foundational aspect of society. This makes me a radical.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
The hardest part of a “quick and easy” 3-4 day war using air power is extracting the last of the ground troops 20 years later when they are getting overrun.
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.
Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?
A still from a video of a tiny white horse the size of a large dog. Its forelock is braided. It's wearing a little blue vest/cape. It has tiny black booties on it's itty bitty hooves.
I just want to make sure everyone knows Mayo Clinic has a therapy miniature horse named Blue Sky
Karp always delivers, he can't help himself and rants openly about Palantir's bloodlust and war-profiteering. He's been doing this for years. Anyone who speaks seriously about Palantir should be shunned. They are what Karp says they are.
