“A different way of calculating percentages”

Also known as …. wrong

Great 🧵

Trump's war in Iran has forced Americans to pay over $8 billion more at the pump.

So naturally, his priority is to bail out his family's business partners in a foreign country.

While DC journos all rush to WHCD, @philinvestigates.com just keeps reporting on the far right in TN.

Be like Phil!

Defendant’s conviction on Count One cannot stand under a “personnel” theory because the statute expressly excludes individuals acting entirely independently to advance a foreign terrorist organization’s goals. Being inspired

by ISIS propaganda and claiming to further ISIS’s cause through his acts do not, by themselves, establish that he acted as ISIS “personnel” as it is defined in the statute and further refined by the Supreme Court’s decision in Humanitarian Law Project.

2d Cir., 2-1, holds there was insufficient evidence to convict the Times Square pipe bomber of material support for ISIS, despite telling detectives he did it "on behalf of the Islamic State."

Evidence established that he was a lone wolf.

Affirms other convx.

"Because Trump turned to culture war before joining an evil axis, because Ukraine and the rest of the world got time to adjust to the shift in American loyalties, the efficacy of Trump’s betrayal will be significantly diminished."

Marcy on how bad it all is & how dick-stepping gives us some grace.

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

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

NEW STUDY: Media coverage of violence against women has reached an all-time low — at only 1.3% of total coverage.

This, at the height of the Epstein scandal.

Palantir posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures | TechCrunch Palantir's ideological bent has come under more scrutiny as it's worked with ICE and positioned itself as a defender of "the West."

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.

Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

When Jeffrey Clark testifies tomorrow, I hope @schiff.senate.gov puts up this giant picture of him and asks "so what was going on here?"

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT): "Jeffrey Clark was indicted in Georgia, pushed out of DOJ for his unethical conduct, and the D.C. bar has recommended he lose his law license. The best they’ve got is a conspiracy theorist…it’s a joke.”

Somewhere out there, in a law firm office far, far away, an associate on the defense team for John Brennan just started updating the exhibit list for his draft selective or vindictive prosecution motion

🇪🇪🇺🇦 In Estonia, some politicians reacted sharply to mZelensky's words, stating that they were a repetition of Russian narratives, - ERR

Zelensky said that the restrictions on the Internet in Russia may be explained by an attempt to prevent internal discontent before a mobilization.

The International Criminal Court (ICC), works out of The Hague and Trump withdrew the United States 🇺🇸 as a member and for personal reasons. If a Charged ICC War Criminal visits any ICC member country the Country detains the War Criminal and transports for Trial to Geneva, The Hague.

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.

Pets go through the grieving stages just like us humans🥰

Screenshot of a Reuters (@Reuters) tweet reporting that the U.S. military fired on an Iranian-flagged cargo ship called the Touska as it sailed toward Iran's Bandar Abbas port, with Iran saying the ship had been traveling from China. The embedded video, released by CENTCOM and labeled "Given as North Arabian Sea, April 19, 2026," shows a naval gun in the foreground with a ship visible on the water, with a subtitle reading "vacate your engine room."

This is insanity. It's like shooting off flares in a fireworks factory.

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

/2 3. Director Patel passed agent pistol qualification and did not kill an instructor on the range. The instructor is doing really quite well considering.

4. Alexis Wilkins did NOT refer to her FBI jet encounter with Kash Patel as “30 Seconds Over Omaha”
