Billionaire Tim Mellon sent $130M of his $14.1B to fund US military salaries during the Govt shutdown 1. This covers 1/3 of military payroll for 1 day 2. DOD has a $1T budget. $130M is .013% of that 3. Mellon can casually part with $130M—he can be taxed at a 91% marginal tax like during 1940-1980

Congress may as well not exist at this point under this Spineless Speaker. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

I have one slight disagreement with this post. There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy. And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh

Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences is slashing Ph.D admissions, more than 75% in science, 60% in humanities, and 50-70% in social sciences. Not a great sign for the health of higher education. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Food for thought... There's a lot of talk about speeding up game development, given how many recent games took 5-7 years to make. But many of those were hampered by the switch from Unreal 4 to 5. And ALL of them lost months to covid. Perhaps one way to make games faster is to not have a pandemic

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more. Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages. It Was Never About The Hostages.

40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk. 40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table. Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina. That could feed every American. That could easily fund SNAP. America first?

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform? Is it...requesting content moderation?

"So we read with interest yesterday the news that two Nobel-winning MIT economists are decamping for the University of Zurich next year. MAGA may be fine with this. But we liked it when America was a magnet for Nobel laureates, not a place they wanted to flee." www.thebulwark.com/p/is-he-lyin...

Joe Biden is a class act. Trump reviles him nonstop yet Biden praises Trump for the hostage release.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

Hamilton warned that without Senate confirmation, a president might appoint officials "who had no other merit than that of being in some way or other personally allied to him, or of possessing the necessary insignificance and pliancy to render them the obsequious instruments of his pleasure."

This does not bode well. Time to start stocking up on books that tell the truth about Trump Don’t know which books I mean? A thread www.newsweek.com/publisher-ha...

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.
