Does anyone else find it weird that Steve Bannon has 15 hours of Jeffrey Epstein from the period Bannon was on the outs with Trump and seeking some vague revenge on the Trump family? And we're never going to see them?

JD VANCE THINKS BRITAIN & FRANCE ARE AMERICAS LIKELY ENEMIES. The world is getting bizarrely screwed with this kind of bull being spewed out.

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year. Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

There are many genealogical paths that connect our present moment to the American past. If you have 30 minutes to waste, I think you'll find that this 1970 campaign ad by Asa Carter resonates, to an alarming degree, with the worldview and rhetoric of the MAGA right. archive.org/details/asa-...

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

I want to *stress* that the backlash to this administration needs to be overwhelming, sustained, and come bearing legal consequences.

Jacob Wohl is the guy of “I overheard people talking in a hipster coffee shop about how much they love Donald Trump” fame. He’s apparently now making six figures securing pardons for fraudsters.

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

The government has broad authority to control admission but courts have held *repeatedly*, over more than half a century, that the First Amendment bars the government from denying visas to foreign citizens simply because it dislikes what they have to say. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/b...

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you? Caller: I am eight

NEW episode of my podcast Disclosure is out! One Xmas, my co-host @mvtopic.bsky.social requested the first 25 pages of docs located from a search of the FBI's investigative files referencing “Santa Claus.” The FBI responded by saying they never heard of the guy podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

We condemn the scandalous US visa ban on former EU Commisioner Breton and digital activists. Protecting democracy isn’t censorship. ✋🏼 Disinformation isn’t free speech. Europe won’t take lessons from those undermining democracy and free speech. Here in Europe we set our own laws. 🇪🇺✊🏼

"Someone told the party that Donald Trump had invited them all to a party at Mar a Lago. REDACTED told Villeneuve she wanted to go, but Villeneuve told REDACTED it wasn't that kind of party, it was for prostitutes."

Shamp’s Senate Bill 1070 would direct the #Arizona Dept of Health Services to conduct or support research to “advance the understanding of Trump Derangement Syndrome, including its origins, manifestations and long-term effects on individuals, communities and public discourse.”

In 2019, Mark Lutter—whose nonprofit received $$$ from the Thiel-backed Emergent Ventures in 2018—said, “we’re putting out a white paper looking at Venezuela…assuming this transfer of power does go thru … And if you u can get charter cities to be part of the conversation,” there is “opportunity…” 1/

The American government is banning regulators from other countries at the request of the richest man in the world, in a display that confirms they will punish any country not willing to sell their digital sovereignty as cheaply as the US has www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/t...

The GOP "healthcare plan," if they ever come out with one, is going to be "Peloton is 80% off and only the rich get chemo." The point of RFKism is that healthcare is a consumer choice, and the right choice is Instagram woo. If you didn't go to the Equinox juice bar the ensuing cancer is your fault.

During an Aug 2024 episode of Infinita City’s podcast, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale said, “I think the media is extremely important to redo…I’m helping a lot there. Bari Weiss is doing a much better job than anyone else I know…” (He & Weiss also co-founded a university.) 1/

First concerning thought: The US is giving Grok access to Pentagon systems? The exchange unavoidably goes both ways, so they’re handing an Elon Musk company tons of valuable, sensitive data. Second concerning thought: That already happened with DOGE.

Kremlin: Russia needs to understand to what extent the US work with Ukraine and Europe on peace plan corresponds to spirit of earlier Putin-Trump Alaska summit - TASS reports.

Re-up on this in light of the @404media.co story out today.

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

for privacy 404 media is blurring videos shared to the story but there was a clip we had of a flock condor camera following a man so closely we could see exactly what he was looking at on his phone a must read scoop:

Look who’s hanging out at TPUSA today: it’s Jack Posobiec, the long time cohost of Charlie Kirk’s podcast, posing between a guy wearing a shirt mocking Holocaust victims (Myron Gaines) and a MAGA guy who was (temporarily) kicked off Elon’s Twitter for circulating CSAM (Don Lucre). Very wholesome!

Jesus Christ…

This is a wild hack. a16z gave a million dollars to startup called Doublespeed. They use a phone farm to flood social media with AI generated influencers and ads. A hacker remotely broke into the phone farm, unmasking the AI influencers/fake accounts, gave us the data www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles. The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way. LINK: www.404media.co/flock-expose...

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Donald Trump Jr.: "The real enemy? It's not Steve Bannon, or Tucker Carlson, or Ben Shapiro. It's the radical Left that murdered Charlie and celebrated it on a daily basis."
