Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned today, a week after this:

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

The heart of Fuentes’s message was that young men in the United States have gotten a rotten deal. In his telling, a nation of entitled baby boomers, like those leading the Republican Party, had poisoned American society with bad jobs, unbearable women and a racially diverse population intent on depriving White people of what they’re owed

Maybe the Republican Party can’t deal with its Nick Fuentes problem because this message is more or less the same as theirs so the criticism comes off as disingenuous www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

John Turturro in 'Severance'. Talking to Zach Cherry, in a close two person shot: "I want it to be over"

Since 2016 people have been demanding that Democrats manifest a pan-ideological United Front coalition against Trumpism while refusing to grapple with the fact that vanishingly few conservatives have shown the slightest interest in such a project.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

My new litmus test is that any Democrat who lectures the party on how they should talk to “ordinary people” is unbelievably full of shit and doesn’t deserve your attention or your vote.

A reminder, as Obama and Mamdani come together for the first time in person, that Mamdani is everything the GOP said Obama was... but wasn't: an African-born socialist Muslim.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

I’m not a lawyer, and I’m exhausted, so I can’t say exactly which part of the constitution forbids it, but if the constitution does not forbid the president from suing the government in his personal capacity and then ordering the government to settle in his official one, it forbids nothing.

Welp lol

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.

Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down.

These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.

Unusual.

I was stuck by this quote from Rep. Rutherford (R-FL):

“Because we’re not always going to have this problem. Eventually, we will deport the majority of the illegals, and we’ll get back to normal needs.”

If you go by Miller's numbers, that's still about 10 million!

Homeland Security Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets

One more time, for the folks in the back: You don’t scale up durable assets like this for a ‘once and done’ effort. ICE are Trump’s unaccountable, half trained, personally loyal Gestapo. We need to shut them down, and soon.

Trump seeks ‘resolution' of his $10bn lawsuit against IRS, spurring concern Critics warn that Trump could arrange his own settlement by negotiating with a US Justice Department under his control.

State Capture

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

I’m actually verified by Molly Shah as the Public Affairs Officer for the Sal Kar Imperial Army Royal Guards, cashapp in bio

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
