So Mark Cuban DM’d me on Instagram….

ELON LOST! Elon's suit against Sam Altman and OpenAI largely hinged on whether the case was within the statute of limitations: 3 years. OpenAI sent Elon their plans to transition to a for-profit company in 2018. He claimed in court that he never read that memo. Jury didn't believe him. He lost.

Closing arguments in the Elon Musk v. Sam Altman trial today and outside the courthouse....I'm sorry what???

Spencer Pratt was just caught lying about living in a trailer to garner sympathy. He ACTUALLY lives in a $1,000+/night hotel in Bel Air! Oops…

from the rochester (mn) post bulletin today. it's evil. the people in charge are evil.

Sam Altman testified in his trial against Elon Musk today that OpenAI's mission is to build AI for "the benefit of humanity." Meanwhile, OpenAI...

Xavier Becerra just took the max donation from both of the Resnicks, the anti-worker billionaire Big Ag couple who own Wonderful Pistachios & POM Wonderful, and who shut down one of their farms to avoid recognizing a union.

Porter should have spelled it out better that Becerra is being weasily with his language and also pointed out as you do that he didn’t do shit about advocating for single-payer healthcare when he was HHS secretary for four fucking years. Shitty ass Dem.

Xavier Becerra was pummeled tonight over taking the max donation from Chevron & opposing single payer healthcare:

🔥

Tom Steyer calls out Xavier Becerra for taking the max donation from Chevron then turning around and telling voters the big oil company isn't "the bad guy" and that he "needs Chevron."

A story in two parts:

CASE DISMISSED

NEW: SEIU California joins California Nurses Association, United Domestic Workers, California Teachers Association, IATSE and other unions backing Tom Steyer.

by the way this is not an exaggeration the clip is "I need Chevron, if they want to give me a check, that's their prerogative"

Xavier Becerra: “I need Chevron”

Feels like Xavier Becerra saying “I need Chevron” in defense of taking the legal maximum amount for a direct corporate campaign donation will become the defining quote of his campaign:

Can we just take a second and appreciate how humiliating this week was for Elon Musk?

The world’s richest man wants you to think someone else is hungry for money

The unparalleled genius, everybody:

When things are going great:

2 of the 10 most powerful people in the world are in Oakland this week, seeking even more power. Oakland is the supposed home of protests & progressive movements. Yet except for some @teslatakedown.com protestors yday no protests outside today. If you’re in the bay, make a sign, show up tomorrow.

An interesting peek inside the courtroom today in the Elon Musk v. Sam Altman/OpenAI trial today:

I’m deeply envious of this judge for being in a position to tell Elon Musk to log the fuck off.

I live in Sacramento and I recall the Matt Mahan commercials paid for entirely by Sergey Brin from *checks notes* last month

I asked Matt Mahan on a Zoom call last week about his donations from major players in Peter Thiel's orbit and he told me I was cherry picking donations and generalizing. Anyway, the co-founder of Palantir donated to both Mahan and Republican Steve Hilton within 24 hours.

Jury selection in the Elon Musk v. Sam Altman/OpenAI case is complicated by the fact that potential jurors have a negative view of AI and Elon Musk:

FBI Director Kash Patel was twice arrested in incidents involving alcohol, once for public intoxication and once for public urination after leaving a bar, he admitted in a 2005 letter. Read more: interc.pt/4sRtDE3 ✍️ @trevoraaronson.bsky.social 📹 @jordanuhl.com

Sam Altman and Elon Musk go to trial today in Oakland. I feel like "Whoever Wins, We Lose" is the most fitting summary:

Slow news day but my wife just showed me this and good lord what a game changer.

Fox News interviewing Fox reporter from the event. Reporter says she was sitting next to Karoline Leavitt's husband. Says he told her: "You need to be safe and he was very serious when he said that to me. Looked around the room and he said..." Call abruptly cuts.

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

C-SPAN reporting that shots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Trump was evacuated by Secret Service:

The FBI director was arrested twice in his youth for alcohol-related incidents that he said were “not representative of my usual conduct.” theintercept.com/2026/04/24/k...

If you have the time and capacity, this is a great place to put your energy into for the next few days. The polling shows that this is going to be a very close vote, and the political implications are obviously huge.

Virginia votes this Tuesday to redraw their maps ahead of the midterms, in order to level the playing field after Texas gerrymandered last year. A Peter Thiel-backed group has spent nearly $10 million opposing redistricting in Va. You can help GOTV here: act.link/gi-6Ylv7M

Jeff Bezos with a true tax rate of under 1% is fucking criminal.

Matt Schlapp is on Newsmax to talk about Eric Swalwell's resignation.

Here’s @jordanuhl.com correctly pointing out how, to this one feckless Dem candidate, Hasan Piker is a bridge too far, but white supremacist Hanania is fine. www.instagram.com/reel/DW951hd...

The allegations against Eric Swalwell are serious and deeply disturbing. He should end his campaign for California Governor and resign from Congress.

Another candidate is trying to make appearing on Hasan's show an issue in their race, but wait until you see what show THEY went on and THAT host's views... www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3yu...
