“The thesis of the book is, effectively, Palantir loves getting big contracts from the Department of Defense. And when you think about it, doesn’t that make Palantir kind of heroic?”

CHRIS WRIGHT: Energy prices are still well lower than they were in middle of the Biden adminis--

CANTWELL: I want to stop you right there. There is nobody in the Northwest who thinks that. Not when they wake up & airline flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks it's okay

I don’t believe you Tucker. You gotta prove you mean it. Do what I did 8yrs ago when I publicly turned against Trump. Go EVERYWHERE and apologize & explain yourself. And then do the WORK. Work your ass off every day to help defeat Trump & the GOP. Walk the walk Tucker…or this is just a fake apology.

"changes to SNAP are happening alongside cuts to Medicaid. It leads to what Allen calls a “terrible synergistic effect” of people’s food being taken away and people getting sick because of it while health care is stripped away."
Eligibility unchanged: its all policy change via administrative burdens

This is amazing.

I would like a Secretary of Defense who has read one (1) book on the history of warfare; preferably one that discusses the impact of disease on armies.

“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 )

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.

BREAKING: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has resigned from Congress just before the House Ethics Committee was set to announce sanctions.

She faced allegations of misusing millions in COVID relief funds tied to her family business, along with multiple campaign finance violations.

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson

Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting

Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

Horrified? Yes. Surprised? Not an iota.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

“I’m the consumer. I paid higher prices because of Trump’s tariffs. Do I get a refund?”

“No.”

Heads they win, tails we lose.

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.

(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

Notice right after Trump accuses Powell of taking a cut of the proceeds from the federal building renovations, he started talking about his ballroom? One of the projects he is taking proceeds from.
Every accusation is a confession.

Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.

BREAKING: President Trump tried to access nuclear codes but was stopped by military chief, per Mirror.

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.

Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Unfortunately, I have to announce that Democratic members will not participating. This roundtable is not a real hearing. It's set up to appear like one. We should be clear about why that's happening. Last week, Pam Bondi skipped a legally required deposition ... "

Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Technofacism? Why Palantir’s pro-West ‘manifesto’ has critics alarmed Palantir's 'manifesto' has been described as an 'AI-driven threat to humanity’s existence' and 'technofascism'.

Fox News ran 4,100+ headlines on trans policy in 2025. On Epstein files: 610. Five times more coverage on existence than documented exploitation. That’s not news. That’s manufacturing

I noted yesterday that we would do well to describe what role the actions Trump is performing, rather than assuming he is functioning as President.

Mostly, Trump is an old man retreating into his lifelong hobbies: construction, cons, and corruption. With lots of golf.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."
