They had no plan, because they don’t care and because they’re idiots.

This is ENRAGING. Not only did they start an illegal war-without notifying Congress-in which 6 American soldiers and many civilians have died, creating chaos because they have no plan for what happens next

But they left Americans in the Middle East completely stranded and vulnerable on top of it

And uncertainty&the constant threat of escalation are the "norm."

When the Middle East is on fire,for Russia,it means less strategic focus by Western allies on Ukraine and more "opportunities" for pressure.

For Russia,the war in Iran is an operational environment that can be used against the West
Russia's annexation of Crimea in2014 became a signal:rules can be broken by force,then one can live with the consequences.Since then,the world has shifted into a mode where multiple crises occur simultaneously

Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir: “Palantir is here to disrupt (…) and, when it's necessary, to scare enemies and, on occasion, kill them. And we hope you're in favor of that."

Stephen Miller Owns Up to $250,000 in Palantir Stock, Report Finds Palantir is reportedly building a mega-database of Americans’ personal information for the Trump administration.

ICE awarded Palantir a $30 million contract in April 2025 for ImmigrationOS, a platform delivering "near real-time visibility" on self-deportations and visa overstays.

Stephen Miller owns about $200,000 worth of their stock.

Expansion of ICE is a gold mine for him.

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America. https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=RCrKYNu1bMlNhU0G

Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his time limit.

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

Picture via a CNN reporter of a banner with Trump’s face going up on outside of DOJ building

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

It's like hanging a banner of Jeffrey Dahmer outside the Department of Agriculture.

It’s can’t be said enough — this is a wildly corrupt betrayal of the MAHA crowd, and flies in the face of everything RFK JR has ever promised them.

Driven entirely by greed and paying off their big pesticide corporation donors.

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

Jared looks like a big slime ball. I guess that’s why he fits in with the trumps.

Jared Kushner moments after claiming that nobody is personally profiting from the Board of Peace: "We've secured over $7 billion"

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."

Makes sense

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

VARNEY: We were told coal is the dirtiest fuel & there are more CO2 emissions than from gas. Is that no longer true?

BURGUM: It's true, but then the question goes back to reversal of the endangerment finding, which is, is CO2 a pollutant or something that helps plants grow? We know it's the latter

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Bonus 210: Federal Judges Speaking Out A new advisory opinion from the Judicial Conference's Codes of Conduct Committee reinforces the appropriateness of federal judges speaking publicly in defense of their colleagues—and the rule of law.

Usually, judges opine on what they *can’t* say publicly, but now, they’re talking about what they *can* say publicly. Check out this latest piece by @stevevladeck.bsky.social about the latest Judicial Conference advisory opinion: open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

This entire thing is a complete clown show. Everyone in attendance should feel like a fool.
