FYI Alex Karp does not give a shit what his employees think. He thinks he is a genius and will tell you so.
Sure, let's say everyone is being thrown under the bus.
But, isn't it just so incredibly hurtful & an insult to all Americans that this president allowed - and continues to allow - for these killings to happen just so that he can pretend now to work on fixing the chaos he created?
Just a thought.
Here's the thing, Greg β free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Wasn't Tom Homan who said MN is not doing his job working with ICE? What is he going to say now that the MN Dept of Corrections is showing how ICE is flat out lying about their outcomes & even the stats of how many people ICE has asked the DOC to keep in custody? β¬οΈ

The only "investigation" Trump has mentioned is on welfare fraud. But Levitt says HSI and FBI are conducting interviews in MN. Who is supposed to lead this investigation? Also, this is probably the closest I've seen Levitt giving a calm & not unhinged answer to the press: rumble.com/v74vv9m-let-...
#Minnesota Is the fed govt really going to investigate Pretti's murder? Karoline Levitt keeps saying let "facts lead," but Trump has only said Tom Homan will have boots on the ground to report to him (is this the "investigation," really?). What am I missing?? newrepublic.com/post/205662/...
πOur newsletter is now on Substack!
You may not be thinking of Google as an important player in the streaming wars, but hey, it is! Here I zoom into YouTube TV's growth, its clashes with TV programmers, and what it all means as Big Tech continues to pull its weight unregulated in streaming.
I really do hope all these videos are being archived by someone, for both legal defense and history purposes.
Great analysis by @haydenfield.bsky.social.
I'll add: I still remember OpenAI, Anthropic pretty much testifying their convos w/Apple would have not happened if not for the GoogleSearch antitrust case. Now we have more of the same. So much for Judge Mehta's 'caution.'

This is just like a Black Mirror episode.
I can't even...
I'm just at a loss for words.
Keep an eye on the many written testimonies that will be published in the subcommittee's website. Many expose not only antitrust concerns, but threats to creative expression and press freedom coming from both Netflix & Skydance-Paramount's bids. Here's ours: www.journalismliberty.org/publications...
...the "streaming market" is just anyone and everyone that distributes audiovisual content online, from YouTube and TikTok to YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, and on-demand subscription Netflix and HBO Max. Same defense Google tried to make for its search and digital ads monopolies (which didn't work).
In an almost last-minute hearing about the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery, organized by the House Judiciary Committee, key questions are being raised. The main one? How to define relevant markets. In this case, no definition gives buyers the advantage to argue...

The retaliation from this govt has no boundaries.
What is this message? That millions of veterans should remain quiet to perfectly denounceable statements and actions from this administration? If they do this to a retired Navy Captain and U.S. Senator, what should we expect for the rest?
Every clip in this 2:38-minute video montage shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel in 2024 and 2025, none of clips are linked to US strikes on Venezuela this morning.
and then for hours used passive voice to pretend they had no idea who was behind the apparently spontaneous explosions
Iβm at Times Square, where an emergency βNo War On Venezuelaβ protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20Β°F weather.
βNo more coups, no more wars, Venezuelaβs not yours!β
βNo boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!β
This is absolutely on point
babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
We'll see whether Venezuela wants to become a US territory. I hope they know there is nothing in this "intervention" being done on behalf of their democracy. Trump has been clear this is about biz for corporate America only β which is also the opposite of improving Americans' lives. What a wreck.
Listening to Trump telling the press that he cares about the Venezuelas "suffering in the US," after he has done everything to make their lives even more miserable here (removing their legally gained asylum status & barring them from entering the country) was borderline a South Park episode.
This is possibly the best educated guess of what's going to happen in Venezuela. By taking advantage of people's hope for regime change, it's easier to create chaos disguised in relief. Even more appalling is how this govt uses the US Justice system to achieve an agenda no American voted for...
This is precisely the danger of US systems of government failing to contain - even supporting, in the case of the FCC - Donald Trump's demand for ideological censorship. First, with the 60 Minutes settlement, then the Paramount sale and installation of Weiss.
"The lesson of this weekβs hearing is not that one party is right and the other wrong. It is that both have been distracted by partisan skirmishes while the foundations of press freedom erode beneath them."

For anyone who wants to know what the FCC was up to before today's Senate hearing (and if you just learned about the FCC because of Jimmy Kimmel), here's the full picture of Brendan Carr's "Delete, Delete, Delete" initiative, by @austinahlman.bsky.socialπ

What in the actual f* is he talking about? What rents have gone down?
You're trying to tell us that "foreign criminals" - I guess with millions of dollars at their disposal - were jacking up prices of houses and creating a housing crisis?
What is this madness.
Omg thank you for posting this. In went on the FCC website too around 1 pm ET and noticed it had been edited already!! I thought, "no way they were that fast."
But they were.
Delete, delete, delete, indeed.
