one musk bro's blatant racism is driving away talent and deal flow from a leading venture capital firm, apparently because they think musk's increasingly-absurd frauds create more value

NEW: For US sanctions: current contracts are not immediately affected, general license has been issued to allow for a "wind-down" period that gives US citizens and entities time to conclude existing transactions involving Rosneft and Lukoil without facing penalties - THIS IS THE LOOPHOLE

While on the topic of baseball I’m not sure if you’ve read this piece from The Guardian today, sir. Worth reading for those who yell at us about talking about baseball and sports in general given the state of the world. Powerful stuff www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/o...

Trump is forcing all major firms pursuing quantum computing to surrender an equity state to the US Government. Another step in Trump's programatic move towards state monopoly capitalism. www.wsj.com/business/ent...

The US government: Well, we might have zip-tied children and/or shot them with rubber bullets, but not the young ones! (not a joke or an exaggeration)

“Medical staff did not give her any food, water, or pain medication for several hours. Much later that evening, after a significant loss of blood, Lucia was transported to an emergency room approximately an hour away, with her arms and legs shackled.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

On top of the murder, this comparison is just offensive to the memory of 9/11.

NEW: The Ninth Circuit votes AGAINST an en banc rehearing of the case on the deployment of the California National Guard to LA, leaving the panel decision permitting the deployment intact. Eleven judges file a dissent. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

This would be very bad.

Former President Barack Obama urged voters to back California Democrats’ redistricting effort during an event with Gov. Gavin Newsom, framing the proposed constitutional amendment as a way to counter President Trump’s efforts to skew the 2026 midterm elections in his favor. https://cnn.it/4nokwIr

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

The US is imposing sanctions on Russia’s two biggest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, aiming to “degrade” Putin’s war chest and support Trump’s effort to end the war in Ukraine. The move marks the first time the Trump administration has imposed direct costs on Moscow over its full-scale invasion.

An Idaho mother was brutally beaten and zip-tied by ICE in front of her three U.S. citizen children.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Schumer, Jeffries, and Gillibrand need to condemn this filthy racism now.

This. The president can't extort corporations to pay essentially taxes to him personally so that he can use that money at his personal discretion to do government work.

I'm beyond desperate for the decision-makers in the Democratic Party to 1) actually recognize that this is happening, and 2) commit to punishing every single person who donated in this manner or in any other way paid to play with this administration.

What? An "AI" browser that totally tracks every single thing you do, almost certainly to train its AI model? Unpossible!

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

The U.S. economy has grown by $20 trillion since 2000 … about $7.7 trillion of that (36% of all the growth in GDP) is spending related to recovering from or preparing for climate disasters per Bloomberg Intelligence #EconSky

JUST IN: Once again, Lindsey Halligan has to turn to out-of-state prosecutors, this time for the Letitia James case. Roger Keller is a Missouri-based prosecutor. Two NC-based prosecutors are handling the Comey case for her as well. No one from EDVA in either case.

Trump: "The ranchers are so happy for what I've done. I saved them. I don't think you'd have any beef in this country if I didn't do that. So we're very proud of that."

The Trump administration has reached a settlement with the University of Virginia, according to an announcement from the Department of Justice, marking the first public university to reach a deal with the White House after months of turmoil. Read more: https://cnn.it/48IwNnf

It's well past time for the Apple App Store and Microsoft Store to take Twitter down. The site is seemingly exercising zero content moderation at all, and the owner of the site is reinstating neo-Nazi accounts that publish dangerous information.

Ukraine’s renewed use of Storm Shadows isn’t a game changer on the battlefield. They have a far shorter range than U.S. Tomahawks, and have been used to strike targets in Russia before. But the missiles do enable Kyiv to expand its attacks inside Russia. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
