Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison. It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok. Everything is for sale.

1. Wait, “it has become harder for some data center builders to arrange the financing for large-scale projects,” that sounds pretty bad 2. How much financing for data center deals has NVIDIA agreed to backstop?

The man that wrote Citizen's United and condemned us to this hell hole is 'concerned'? He must be a friend of Susan Collins'

I'm still waiting for the WP to circle back to the people they talked to last year in New Castle, PA who thought that Trump was going to double their SNAP and Medicaid by kicking off the people who didn't deserve it. It was all dopamine jolt vibes.

As Hobbes pointed out, the problem here is that the bots are following the powerful right-wing influencers like Rufo. We have the same problem we've had since 2015; there really is no way to confront (often) foreign influence online when the highest levels of the Republican Party embrace it.

Disabled people can’t “just move” to escape fascism. Moving requires resources, money and health that most of us don’t have. Many countries won’t accept disabled people, especially if they have universal healthcare. People are trapped, so we must fight for them.

“U.K. Politician Admits Making Pro-Russia Statements in Return for Bribes…Mr. Gill, 52, admitted being bribed on eight occasions to carry out instructions delivered by a Ukrainian national, Oleg Voloshyn, who had been an official in the Kremlin-backed government of Viktor Yanukovych…” 9/26/25 …1/

As soon as I hear some politician saying they need to "cut red tape" I just have to assume they're talking about opening the door to unaccountable businesses doing things without scrutiny and with no public input, and recklessly disregarding the public good in service to investor interests.

Former journalist climate contrarians are currently sharpening their knives for more UFO hearings.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Dictatorship by clown violence and nonsensical atrocity. Did we ever even get an explanation about what happened to people mistreated by the first Trump administration's invasion of Portland?

Exactly telling it like it is. 👍 ⤵️

What a clown show. Trying to turn a photo op fail into an ops conspiracy like keystone cops meets the spy who shagged me.

Absolutely nobody: Andrew Huberman: phrenology is real cause I misinterpreted headlines about a dog study

I never said Pelosi was getting paid by Putin: I stated point blank that she was NOT, as seen below. The Democrats have lied about this for over six years, so I wrote about it as an example of online smear tactics. Read on for a study in propaganda in the AI age: substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Why would literally any politician take campaign strategy advice from pundits who’ve never deigned to work on a campaign in their entire lives? Would you take medical advice from someone who’s never bothered to study medicine?

Who do I know who's a Wikipedia editor? I need to flag something as "obviously a joke and should be deleted" with someone who can make the change and have it stick.

Everything this jackaloon does is for the dumbest reasons because he doesn't know what he's doing. He belongs back on Fox News, and even then, someone would be coming at him with one of those canes to drag him off stage.

Any Democrat running from here on out should have pictures of the supreme court justices with clown emojis over them, if they want to be taken seriously. If you can't see the problem, why should I trust you to fix the problems?

This Jesse Watters guy needs help. And by help, I mean someone to help him off stage with one of those canes like in the old theatres. Bang the gong already somebody.

This is madness beyond anything ridiculous. It's such far overreach as to enter the realm of pathetic grasping.

When I started graduate school in 1986, I never imagined how relevant my studies of African politics would be to understanding the United States. Anyone who has studied Mobutu or Amin can see what is happening in the US under Trump.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

do you ever stop to think how we had achieved utopic level search engine where you could legit ask anything and worked perfectly and we gave it up to a robot thats wrong 40% of the time

Trump has signed an Executive Order officially approving the sale of TikTok to a group of U.S. companies. That includes Oracle, owned by billionaire and Trump donor Larry Ellison, whose media company now oversees CBS News and may soon control CNN. What could go wrong?

Corruption is the biggest concern at the local level too. We have elected officials across the country signing nondisclosure agreements with businesses to do sketchy projects that skyrocket constituents' utility bills and zero out their home values. chloehumbert.substack.com/p/public-off...

What she’s confessing here is insurance fraud

Fascinating how the highest heights of the White House jumped on condemning the ICE shooting today but still has not said a word about the CDC shooting. Political violence is an emergency that our nation has to face. Silence from our leaders is complicit. #CDC #publichealth

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

BREAKING: Amazon will pay $2.5 billion to settle FTC allegations that it tricked people into paying for Prime, and sabotaged their attempts to cancel.

Marty Makary has been knowingly lying to get ahead - because he can’t based on actual facts or merits - for years

I don't recall JD Vance having anything to say after last month's shooting at the CDC (which included the killing of a law enforcement officer). Google can't seem to find his statement either.

I see a possible identity of the ICE shooter has been found, and the guy seems to be very online, so I'd be careful about taking anything at face value, especially memes and in-jokes.

DOGE was a success because the entire point of it was the greatest data theft scheme in history and they did it

Liberalism dot jpg

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

If you’re wondering how batshit bananas he has to be to claim, without any evidence, that Tylenol causes autism, let’s not forget his other proclamations: “Windmills cause cancer” “Injecting bleach cures Covid” “UV light cures Covid” “Summer cures Covid” “Covid will get bored and go away”

U.S. intelligence has removed "T" from "LGBT" in their reports - including those intended to warn of threats to the community. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-disap...

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

And no matter where you live you should NOT assume that you will know about data center plans. These data center operations are having elected public officials sign nondisclosure agreements to keep plans secret until the last minute to push them through. chloehumbert.substack.com/p/public-off...
