PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”
Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.
A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE engineer told co-workers at his new job that that he “previously had unrestricted ‘God-level’ access to the SSA’s systems” & that he possessed copies of SSA’s “Numident” & “Master Death” files, which he planned to use at his new job. 3/10/26…1/
NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.
It’s always “We can’t afford to pay our employees a living wage.”
But it’s never “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars."
When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”
For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

DOD claim: “This narrative is fake and being peddled by leftists in the media.”
Fact: It’s literally what Anthropic says are the issues.

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"
In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.
Supposedly, Stephen Miller (DBA "Donald J. Trump") has one objective: deport as many people of color as possible.
So why isn't he doing that? Instead, he's keeping them in the United States by building scores of concentration camps.
I'm starting think they are being built for *us* not them.
"He has a way about him that he is able to explain like deeply offensive and pernicious points of view but make it seem like it's a common sense view," @timmiller.bsky.social says of JD Vance. "He's skilled at that, and I worry about him."
(🚨) This is just the beginning. But it is one hell of a beginning. You will never see the Epstein Scandal the same way again.
And Part II is on the way.

WTF??!! Jobs are good! People want jobs!! What president would brag about cuttings millions of jobs and ruining the economy??!! And yet, NO REPUBLICAN PUSHES BACK. They are weak, spineless and could care less about every day American workers. Time to replace them ALL!!
I think the term "American Exceptionalism" is stupid anyway.
Why try to be so stuck up?? Every country has their strengths and weaknesses
Anyway

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.
one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites
In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.

I think this has been a perverse idea of Thiel's for some time. If this isn't the best argument against immense wealth, I don't know is
“In their new world , instead of nation states there will be billionaire barons allied with armed garrisons; instead of international trade, coerced resource extraction; instead of social participation and welfare provision, massive repression and individualised struggle for survival. This explains why Trump 1/
can talk so freely of seizing Canada, Greenland, Panama: he no longer assumes any of the external or internal constraints on power holders that have, however unevenly, developed over the last 200 years. This is not about going back to 19th Century colonialism or further developing 20th Century Neoliberalism. Rather, this imagined future corresponds 2/
most closely to something like the western part of the Roman Empire in 500s and 600s: magnates with armed hordes swirling across ill-defined territorial boundaries, slaughtering and seizing resources, while production falls off a cliff and the standard of living of the mass of the population falls to unfathomably low levels." 3/ •From a very smart friend of Timothy Morton
The long game
Dark predatory personalities (billionaires & billionaire adjacent & their minions) have worked for years to capture the ecopolitical systems & information systems & resources of the world in order to crown themselves god-kings on Earth.
Yes, they did and they are. And note here that Epstein says, “Brexit, just the beginning.” It’s all part of the same piece.
Steve Levitsky, the co-author of How Democracies Die, on the dangerous place we have reached as Trump escalates:
“Orbán doesn’t arrest journalists,” he said. “And in Hungary if you walk the streets of Budapest or other Hungarian cities, you will not find heavily armed masked men abducting people."
