New Texas Senate Poll from Public Policy Polling. (5/26) James Talarico: 45% Ken Paxton: 38%

The Ellisons are testing the very limits of even their incredible funds and the entire thing hinges on whether Oracle gets paid by OpenAI! Larry Ellison has $21bn+ in personal loans with his stock as collateral. Oracle needs OpenAI to pay it $70bn a year

Nope.

Yes, WSJ, that’s who he is and has always been. And worse even.

The total value of Trump’s transactions in the first three months of this year—again, $750 million—is higher than the value of all trades by all 535 members of the House and Senate combined in an average year. www.thebulwark.com/p/trader-in-...

“.. Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao, was pardoned by President Trump in October.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Oh this is delightful. Let's start with SpaceX's violation of 17 CFR § 229.504 (Item 504). Their "use of proceeds" neglects to mention they are contractually obligated to use the first $20 billion from it to pay off a bridge loan. This is also while their quarterly cash burn exceeds $8 billion. /1

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

According to our calculations, Russian forces have captured just 0.04% of Ukraine’s territory this year. Our tracker shows that recently Ukraine has begun to claw back ground

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

If/when the pendulum swings back, the Supreme Court must be restored to some semblance of its former self. It’s a kangaroo.

recently Marc Cuban told Alex Kantrowitz he thought OpenAI's capex investment would "never" pay off and that Apple is the genius / winner of this wave of AI because they're just going to license whatever works

PAUL TUDOR JONES, on CNBC this week, arguing that stocks have “more room to run” — thanks to the “productivity miracle” that is AI — before what he expects will be a “breathtaking correction.” @cnbc.com

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Manchurian Candidate ass administration

Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President Zelenskyy today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Farr Macro:

My view is that the American South never fully took to liberal democracy. And I think we have to reckon with that to face the moment we’re now in. I wrote about it for @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/liberal-de...

Well done sir, they're calling it your best interview yet

This energy. Pump it into my veins

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

The hype is fucking real.

She’s correct, it won’t stop here.

'the pope is an American because the Vatican is out to get me' is terrific because it's both a thing an insane person would think and also probably true.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary. The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

imagine arguing with your devout catholic grandma and shouting "the pope is WEAK on crime"

If you win the Masters back to back you should get green pants

I know he is demented and degenerate and mostly pretty dumb too. But Pope Leo is weak on crime is one of the funniest things a politician has ever said.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
