The Trump administration has quietly spread Palantir’s technology through U.S. agencies, paving the way to easily compile data on Americans. The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since President Trump took office. nyti.ms/4dJfR0o

Elon is so weird on tv. So hard to get inside his mind. Does he view the media as a tool? Does he care about how he’s perceived? Does he play it like a fiddle? Is it an amusement? Does he care about his image? Or who’s interviewing him? Hard to say.

They’re setting up for something on the national mall that’s about to get destroyed by a massive thunderstorm

Sometimes a story is just THAT cool...so we're giving it more time to breathe. Check out the insane visuals and the two-year journey we took to get it all. Definitely one of the most important #innovations in #housing #construction going forward. @vanapplegate.bsky.social @icon3dtech.bsky.social

Just in time for a new trade deal…

This is weird.

is that bad? Seems bad

Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to join global advisory board for bond giant Pimco

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

Great read to get you in the #Masters mood.

Did I just see a Neutrogena commercial completely made of AI?

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year. In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal

This probably would've been a career-defining bit of racism for any politician in a previous era

Laura Gillen is on the rise.

Smerconish was on point today.

I miss John Lewis. I even miss John McCain. Fighters on opposing sides. ...but both lions who would crawl through a mile of broken glass to defend our nation against fascism.

🚨 Lutnick on CNBC previews massive expansion in tariff exemptions: “My expectation is the President will come to the agreement today, and hopefully we will announce this today, that USMCA-compliant goods will not have a tariff for the next month until April 2.”

If democracy survives, we’ll look at what Elon is doing now the same way we now view the aftermath of 9/11 or January 6th itself—unforgivable attacks on our democracy that, in retrospect, everyone should have seen coming.

There were certainly signs

Show me a picture of Steve Bannon wearing a suite in the Oval Office.

Can’t imagine being a dedicated career federal employee, coming off the elevator and seeing this. What a time to be alive.

I guess the FAA layoffs hit them hard in their IT department. System keeps crashing as I’m trying to grade my recurrent Part 107.

Earth is working on her core? Good for her

The Word of the Day is “chaos”.

CNN: “.. in Gaines County, .. nearly 1 in 5 incoming kindergartners in the 2023-24 school year did not get the vaccine. The 18% vaccine exemption rate for the county is one of the highest in the state ..” www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/h...

How are we? Like, as a collective?

perhaps outwardly there are more urgent stories than one wall in one federal building, but the larger story is the swiftness with which this administration has moved to erase any sign of people who aren't white.

For those interested in politics, don’t ignore AI. AI models will further change politics into something that is probably unrecognizable. Just like a TikTok algo can get what it wants in front of you, campaigns will figure out how to get information to get you to vote , OUTSIDE of your phone/PC

There’s so much fencing in dc right now, I don’t know what side of it I’m on.

Big news from @rjleung7.bsky.social: The CFPB is suing Capital One for “cheating” customers out of more than $2 billion in interest. The agency said the banking giant used deceptive marketing to obscure differences in interest rates between two of its savings-account options.

Very much enjoyed having the chance to shoot a sit down interview with Janet Yellen as she wraps up her tenure as the 78th Secretary of the Treasury. The Cash Room at the Treasury did not disappoint.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Watching this eagles game on fox, not sure if it’s the clouds in and out or what, but every camera has a different white balance and it’s driving me nuts.

I haven’t/won’t comment much on #J28432. By the time I saw the news there was already very clear evidence that it was no accident and likely that Russia has shot down a civilian airliner for the second time in a decade. The circumstances are vastly different this time, but it’s still incredibly sad.

The fact that Russia shooting down ANOTHER civilian airliner isn’t a bigger story is honestly wild.

A front page for the ages.
