He never had s mind to lose! :(

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

“Ready for some bullshit? You paid the the higher prices… They raised prices on you to cover the tariffs, kept prices high, and now they get the refund.

Also: 88 of the largest US corporations paid zero income tax in 2025.”

(From @attorneyryan.bsky.social )

WARSH: The broad contours of the economy are improving. The potential of the economy, the real results of the economy are improving.

TINA SMITH: The reality is there was almost 0 job growth in 2025. That looks to me like not a roaring economy, but a weak economy.

KIM: Are you concerned there could be real long-term effects of this war in Iran with fuel and fertilizer?

WARSH: If my reform agenda stands for anything, it's for the central bank to stay in his lane

KIM: But you're also charged with forecasting

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

Lotta' excitement with our NY Knicks hosting the Atlanta Hawks at MSG! It was a tough ride home after a massive 4th qtr collapse & agonizing loss! :(

I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.

I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.

That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.

What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.

Enjoyed another fine dinner at Morton's on Fifth Av :)

Coffee time again at Starbucks! :)

Karp’s narcissism is very Trumpy. Check out his recent interviews.

Palantir is on that list because of Musk and Peter Thiel, two far rightwing, anti-democracy nut jobs who have assisted trump in destroying America. Musk likely has some quid pro quo under-the- table deal with trump for his role in DOGE. Yes, our government should have nothing to do with Palantir.

The 2000s had Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's couch.

The 2020s have:

CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp: "...to scare enemies and on occasion kill them. We hope you're in favor of that. We hope you enjoy being our partner."

Dude is a complete psychopath

We already have an unscrupulous cult posing as a major political party that will do anything at any time for power and to enrich itself—including sell out our country and its values.

Is it so insane to believe that the other major political party should stand up and say, “Stop”?

The Democratic Party is still searching for its identity in this century (which is sad). There is still time for the party to advance the basic precept that it does not give campaign money to, or promote doing business with, obvious sociopaths. This is not a particularly big ask.

I understand this may not be realistic. But this country needs more people saying, at the outset of a colossal mistake, that the pause button should be hit. Partnering with a madman and his shadowy firm will lead to dystopian results. Now is the *only* moment we could still stop.

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

Another person died in ICE custody, bringing the total to 17 so far in 2026—four months into the year.

The federal government doesn't publicly share on the number of people ICE injures and kills, but we do. Here's our count.

Fact Check: Caine Did Not Storm Out of Emergency Meeting After Trump Suggested Threatening Iran With Nuclear Weapons Did Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, storm out of an emergency meeting after President Donald Trump said he wanted to threaten Iran with nuclear weapons? No, that's not true: The...

DO NOT SPREAD THIS FALSEHOOD.

2026, 2027, and 2028 will require all of us to up our media literacy game.

Anonymous non-journalists touting major breaking news stories not reported or even hinted at anywhere else should be immediately blocked, not shared.

Historically, America understood that when a madman with minimal expertise comes to you and says that you must become a monster to stave off a hypothetical future threat, that is a sociopath whose byword is fascism.

Some of us *still* see Alex Karp for what he is and represents.

Palantir's summary of CEO Alexander Karp's manifesto is generating buzz. Read the 22 bullet points. Among the 22 points summarizing Palantir CEO Alex Karp's manifesto is the belief that the US should consider reinstating the military draft.

This company is out of control and its CEO appears in nearly every public appearance to be disturbed in some way.

There are companies our government should have nothing to do with anymore—e.g., those associated with Elon Musk—and Palantir is on that list.
