From @anitawadhwani.bsky.social & @cstephenson.bsky.social for @tennesseelookout.com: Bystanders reported being bumper-rushed by cars driven by federal agents, boxed into their vehicles as they arrived to record arrests, surveilled at home, photographed, followed and taunted by name by officers.

Just total bullshit meant to steal health care from millions

Welp there’s no unseeing this

And this man got a medical license?

Now this is a concert. 🎵

The money was always there for the good things.

The man screamed for help as he was brought to the ground under the agents’ vehicle. One agent then used a taser on him. The agent aimed it at bystanders before and after tasing the man. Another agent aimed a can of pepper spray and pointed it at the crowd. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Citing anti-ICE protests, Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec agree that Bill Pulte was chosen as DNI to “start digging in on the domestic side of terrorism”

oh hey, check me out lol

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

did you know? the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 mandated nearly 60 million barrels of oil be sold from the SPR starting in 2018 and lasting through 2025. in addition, the 2018 Budget Act required 100 million barrels be sold. 30 mil 2022-2025, 35 mil in 2026 and 35 mil in 2027.

Funny what happens when you sack the workers who were keeping it out of the country.

I saw a reel on Insta on how MAGA is really upset that an Indian-American won the Spelling Bee (apprently the first time they have ever paid attention to this competition 😂), with racist comments, etc. ?? The grievance is so tiresome. MAGA: learn how to spell and maybe you, too, could win the Bee 🐝

Because the housing market is going so well...

"... amendments caused the contract value— flagged internally as 'not for public disclosure' — to rise from $14.4 million in 2020 to ~ $44.4 million as of 2025. The Dept of National Defence said that as of last month they'd spent $46.8 million on the contract." O, Canada...

Palantir’s deal with the UK financial regulator could your hand your personal data to Trump— MPs and campaigners sound the alarm.

Vladimir Putin has been told by senior Russian officials that the war in Ukraine is becoming unaffordable, the most serious sign of internal division in Moscow since the full-scale invasion began www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Florida became the first state to sue OpenAI over claims that ChatGPT posed a risk to children and that the company had failed to warn the public of dangers posed by the chatbot, adding to a growing backlash against artificial intelligence.

The recent success of Brazil’s single-dose dengue vaccine is the result of a new, more vigorous approach to its pharmaceutical sector. But the country will struggle to revive its medical-industrial complex more broadly

Right now we have a fascist in the White House. Our neighbors are being abducted by Trump’s secret police. The system is rigged by his billionaire buddies. This is not the time for a career politician looking for a job and who, up until tonight, hasn’t even had the courage to face me one-on-one.

the framing about 401ks is a little weird but the actual story is more interesting: Musk is somehow getting the not-yet IPO’ed SpaceX stock forced into the indexes so that if you hold an index fund, you hold SpaceX, which would be fine if SpaceX was qualified for inclusion, but it does not.

It's inexcusable, and it's remarkable there's not more pushback. Y'know what ETFs like SPY & VOO do when they add a stock? They rebalance by selling all the other stocks in proportion. They are literally changing the rules to take value from shareholders of every S&P 500 company to give it to Musk.

BYD says it will assume full financial liability for at-fault accidents that happen while its “God’s Eye” urban driving system is active in China — with no cap on the payout. It’s a commitment Tesla has never made for FSD and it flips the industry’s standard liability model on its head. /1

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

Danish Pension Fund Blacklists SpaceX. Previously, dumped US Treasuries over Trump's threat to Greenland. It says Spacex is “grossly overvalued”, and has “catastrophic governance structure” as Elon Musk strives to be a trillionaire. Any chance of City of London growing a backbone? archive.ph/dsVfR

Not for nothing but freedom of navigation has been a core US foreign policy objective for 200+ years and preserving the Arabian Gulf from domination has been one for just a hair under 50. When I say things like “calamity” or “inexcusable defeat”, I am not being partisan or exaggerating.

congrats to jared polis once again

In 32 days he becomes 1st American man facing court over Epstein files, not because he’s in them but because of "crime" of organizing an Epstein Files Egg Hunt in Manhattan, NY to expose Epstein class.

The EU's wider rules, which kick in from February 18th, 2027, are simple: Users must be able to remove and replace batteries with basic tools, or specialized tools that are provided with the product for free, and compatible spare batteries must be sold for at least five years.

it's certainly interesting to watch every single person in the oil industry repeat in a monotone “we are 3 to 6 weeks away from the worst energy crisis in history”, supply chain people with thousand yard stares, every single macroeconomist I know is benchmarking against 2008, etc and then meanwhile

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.
