No—as a journalist and a retired journalism prof it's *exactly* my job to urge people not to spread disinformation that could cause panic about nuclear war.
What you mean to say is that you have a right to be irresponsible and a bad citizen and spread disinformation, which you do.
Different claim.
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.
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.
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.
You need to Google Hunter Biden, clearly
Currently running an experiment to see how many times in a row I can listen to this without becoming tired of it
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.
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.

For the record, every Trump critic I know always thought and said that Hunter Biden was a garbage guy trying to trade on his dad's name.
The pushback was on whether *Joe* Biden was involved in kickback schemes.
No one no doubts the Trump Family—top to bottom—is utterly corrupt.
Want proof that the world has turned totally upside down? A year ago no one would have dreamed that these people would be saying what they are saying now, which is more or less exactly what the people they hate have been saying for years about Trump.
He didn't change; they have.
(🚨) OK, the time has come.
Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump.
Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library.
(PS2) More than anything, what I'm begging everyone reading this to understand is that what will shortly become the most infamous election conspiracy investigation in U.S. history is itself an election interference conspiracy focused on 2026 and 2028.
Incredible, but inarguable.
(PS) What's happening now is historically crooked in a way this attorney and journalist can't properly summarize here.
The case is illegitimate, its prosecutors are illegitimate, its jurisdiction is illegitimate, its judge is illegitimate, and its area of inquiry is illegitimate.
So when I say the man Trump has tasked with manufacturing a fake election conspiracy is one of America's chief election ratfuckers, I mean it and have published books establishing it.
His reemergence is *a ringing bell in the night* telling us American democracy is under attack.
The other book everyone now needs to read is Proof of Coup (2023).
It details how in 2020 diGenova worked with fellow Trump lawyer Sidney Powell on the Waldron Plot, which held that if you can fake foreign election interference you can use a DHS reg to seize all voting machines.
You don't bring this crooked lawyer into a situation unless you're involved in election ratfuckery.
He's Roger Stone with a law degree.
And he's not being brought on now to address any issues from the past. His job is to *discredit our elections* so Trump can rig 2026 and 2028.
It gets worse. DiGenova was also involved in the "Trumplandia" plot during the 2016 presidential election—assisting rogue pro-Trump FBI agents in the NYC field office as they successfully blackmailed Jim Comey into reopening Clinton's email case.
That gave the election to Trump.
Donald Trump is reuniting a band of crooked lawyers he previously used to fake foreign election interference and tasking them with uncovering alleged foreign election interference in the very election in which they faked such interference.
You can't make such dastardly graft up.
Proof of Corruption names everyone on what was known as the "BLT Prime Team."
One of its leading members—besides Trump lawyer diGenova—was Trump lawyer Kash Patel, now FBI director.
We're watching a plot to disrupt future American elections unfold in real time. It's terrifying.
The job diGenova had in the 2020 election was to regularly meet secretly at a Trump hotel restaurant with a team tasked with manufacturing fake pro-Biden foreign election interference.
Trump picking him to prosecute supposed election interference is a five-alarm national fire.
As a journalist I've spilled more words on crooked Trump lawyer Joe diGenova and his lawyer partner Victoria Toensing than any author writing in English. For years I told U.S. media to watch these two, as their specialty is Roger Stone-style election ratfuckery.
Now here we are.

Trump has destroyed federal guardrails meant to ensure secure and fair elections.
Some fear his actions are aimed at making sure the upcoming midterms go his way.

NOTE: If Kash Patel indeed brings manufactured criminal cases over the 2020 election this week—something he knows a lot about, as he sought fake evidence from Kremlin agents to steal the 2020 election for Trump—it’s *not about 2020*.
It’s about rigging elections *going forward*.
So if Patel brings fake cases this week or next, understand that (i) he has a history of conspiring to manufacture evidence to steal elections, and (ii) corporate media will try to make you focus on 2020 but what *matters* is asking how such new (fake) cases impact 2026 and 2028.
Stop buying the claim that Trump is obsessed with 2020; we already have eyewitnesses who say he knows he lost.
What he *is* obsessed with is (a) the narrative of 2020, and *far* more importantly (b) how that election can be leveraged to steal 2026 and 2028 and end our democracy.
