xAI is valued at $200 billion and burns through $1 billion/month in cash. The primary product development has been a chatbot that self-identified as "MechaHitler" then pivoted to production of nonconsensual porn, including of minors. I do not consider this an optimal use of society's resources.

Illinois GOP sanctions the killing of citizens in opposition to Trump's ICE/CBP operations...

Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll. And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration. This is digging deep into Trump's base. We detail these numbers on today's pod: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

We need to talk about "law enforcement" and children! 2/3rds of ICE/CBP agents arrested recently, have been arrested for sex crimes with many being offenses against children! ohioimmigrant.org/blog/2026/up...

"Karp attended a few dinner gatherings at Epstein’s Upper East Side residence, according to a person familiar with the matter. "'You are always welcome,' Epstein responded to Karp’s 2015 email complimenting his hospitality. 'There are many many nights of unique talents. You will be invited often.'"

“.. Trump has hung a for-sale sign on the Oval Office at a scale and frequency that is untoward and unprecedented. It’s also true that a Republican-controlled Congress and the courts are unlikely to do a thing about it.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Now that's an angle I hadn't considered. Could explain a lot of things, like the opacity of his income and wealth. Or why Trump bends over backwards for the Russians and why he's working so hard to keep whatever secrets are in the files just that, a secret. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

CBS censored Billie Eilish saying “Fuck ICE” at the Grammys. Here’s the uncensored version:

What did Muskrat mean when he asked Epstein about a "wild" party on Epsteins pedo island? MAGA went looking for a cabal of Democrats sexually abusing children. And while they may have found some, they weren't prepared to learn WHO ELSE was visiting Epsteins pedo island and mansion. 🤷

“I saw a man that was retreating,” GOP Sen. Rand Paul says of the video he saw of Alex Pretti, shot and killed by federal immigration officers. He has scheduled a Congressional hearing on the matter.

Bad Bunny with a powerful anti-ICE speech at the Grammys 🔥🔥🔥🔥 "Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ‘ICE out.’ We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."

Raking in billions by leveraging U.S. foreign policy. Why am I not surprised...🙄

BREAN: “.. producer price inflation is still rising and there is a substantial amount of tariffs that could be passed through to the consumer. I continue, therefore, to stand by my forecast of 3% core inflation in 2026 with the balance of risks being to the upside.” #PPI

In today's edition of 'Hispanic citizens who didn't vote in 2024.' "Hernandez said it has gotten so bad that he and his four siblings, all citizens born in the United States, have considered moving.." apnews.com/article/trum...

This is what it's like living in Nazi occupied America as a Latin person/someone w/an accent. Even citizens are getting this treatment, like this woman Maria. They assaulted her then sped off once they learned she's a citizen...

It turns out that executing (alleged) suspects abroad and at home and attempting to take away life-saving vaccines from children was not a winning political strategy. The new MAGA poster that illustrates the Nazi death cult that Trump and the GOP have become:

When Republicans refer to "criminal illegal aliens," they mean everyone who is here on an asylum claim is a criminal. Latino voters who flipped to Trump in 2024 didn't quite get that. They do now. Also, many of the “criminal records” are for things like driving with no license & other misdemeanors.

Those are some serious special-election margin flips. 👀 @gelliottmorris.com #SD9 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/blue-wave-...

Paid MAGA influencers went from posing with binders of bs at the WH for social media clout to not caring about millions of Epstein docs.

As I wrote earlier today, waiting for Maduro to say that Venezuela conspired with Obama to swing the 2016 and 2020 elections. Followed by Maduro and his wife being transferred to the same cushy prison occupied by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Damn. It sounds like this movie is so bad even Leni Riefenstahl and Joseph Goebbels would have panned it.

On Wednesday, I had an in-depth discussion with Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. Overseeing a jurisdiction that includes Minneapolis, Moriarty had significant information to share and a lot of important thoughts about the past year — and the past month.

Below is the buyout offer all CBS Evening News staff received today. "We hope you are excited about this vision, but we understand that some of you may not be, and we want to provide support. As such, we are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."

COOK POLITICAL: “.. views of Trump’s handling of immigration, and of the actions of ICE in particular, had already been decaying for months. .. Since January 2025, opinions of Trump’s handling of immigration have dropped 24 points ..” @cookpolitical.com www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/nat...

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Relatives of two Trinidadian men the U.S. military apparently killed in a boat strike filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on Tuesday, bringing the first legal challenge in an American court to President Trump’s policy of targeting vessels suspected of smuggling drugs at sea.
