The Energy Department is giving millions to a company partially led by a far-right activist and telecom executive to build the nation’s first coal-fired power plant since 2013. But please, tell me more about how we can't do renewals because of government subsidies or some bullshit.

President Sundowning says he stormed out of the interview because.... it was raining. Hey anyway "For people who have dementia, changes in weather, specifically rain, can actually be really problematic for them,"

“He owns 11 homes” cannot be repeated enough

*bravely* I might do my job now

No need to examine and defend the details. Whatever Trump agrees to will be a "good deal." Problem solved. It's a cult.

Politics is morality tale telling, not simply fact checking.

Yeah, man, people definitely blame their governor for gas prices

NEW: DOJ files a request at the DC Circuit for a stay pending appeal in the Kennedy Center case at 3:46 p.m. on the day of the compliance deadline issued two weeks ago. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is now SpaceX's problem btw

Nobody should be shocked that Elon was pushing this shit on twitter and a neo-Nazi group took up the call.

As Texas reviews the future of its Maternal Mortality Review Committee, researchers warn that failing to reauthorize the panel would leave the state with fewer answers—and fewer opportunities to save lives.

Of the 438,537 individuals officially detained by President Donald J. Trump's gestapo, only 13,018(3%) had a violent felony conviction in the US. Despite DHS claims by this administration, unlawful entry is generally a civil, not a criminal offense.

"Like Talarico, some prospective Dem presidential candidates are signaling they intend to run campaigns based on messages of curing the moral rot that Trumpism has wrought upon the nation." @davidrlurie.com over at @atrupar.com's joint: www.publicnotice.co/p/democrats-...

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

Texas Republicans might be the softest, weakest little man babies in the history of politics

Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee blocked a Democratic effort to strengthen existing bans on federal troops entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines, two senators tell MS NOW.

here’s a fun thought: Musk dies tomorrow. how much total market cap is destroyed?

Watch Jimmy Kimmel put Space Caligula’s obscene wealth in perspective and how it could destroy your retirement (and everything else).

The greatest heist ever committed

Not only a company that provides niche services, a company that loses 4-6 billion dollars a year and claims its future income will come from massive AI revenue while at the same time having such an unpopular AI model that most of the money comes from selling unused compute resources.

We all knew this was going to happen because people are buying into the hype but it's going to be very depressing when the stock crashes after it's been put into index funds and everyone's retirement gets absolutely fucked.

Never was so inapt a name for what that company does

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Elon Musk’s Grok AI violated Canada’s privacy laws and, at one point, was generating more than 6,000 sexual deepfake images every hour, according to Canada’s privacy commissioner. www.reuters.com/business/med...

But that was the point. She's trying to shift hard news programs in a political direction and the people that watched those programs did so because it wasn't like that before. That's the real problem, people just don't want what the Ellisons are trying to turn the network into.

Since 2011, Elon Musk has been promising to put a man on Mars within a few years. He failed. SpaceX burned through billions of dollars of venture capital. It still isn't profitable and Mars is now further away than it was in 2011. If you're buying the #$SPCX IPO, you're the exit liquidity.

Well then keep on keepin on my dude.

Never before has a price tag so large been put on something nearly as speculative. It will make Musk a trillionaire, while shafting a lot of innocent people — perhaps without them even noticing. SpaceX’s IPO is the story of American capitalism in this Second Gilded Age.

The closer you look at the SpaceX IPO, the more it looks like Musk’s ill-fated DOGE and Trump’s takeover of the government. All of it is arbitrary, and built on self-dealing. It’s all based on the will of one man with a giant ego and an insatiable thirst for money and power.

"The new rules will be sold as getting rid of DEI but that is an excuse to bring in the commissars. The new rules don’t depoliticize science they create even more politicization with the sign flipped, and the drafters admit it." marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo...

One reason to suspect an AI bubble is how AI financiers like Apollo keep saying stuff that isn't true. Some of this might be Jevons Paradox (increasing tech efficiency increases resource use by the tech). But for frontier models, linear performance increases require logarithmic token increase. /1

welp

[noted]: The Second Circuit has rejected Sam Bankman-Fried's appeal, upholding his conviction and 25-year sentence. The court ruled that whether his investments ultimately paid off is “irrelevant”. Meanwhile, SBF has applied for a presidential pardon. www.citationneeded.news/second-circu...

I'd love to know how much taxpayer money was paid for legal fees of absolutely bullshit lawsuits the Trump administration launched.

Gonna make a thrilling appeal to Sammy Alito.

We always learn within 24 hours of Trump’s big announcements that they are nonsense.

Exactly👇. And to my further left-leaning neighbors, you have to research the local issues and run candidates who line up well on those issues. Hint: In central Iowa it ain't bike lanes and solar energy. Etc.

Elon updating his resume like -Fraud -Fraud -Fraud -Killed several hundred thousand people -Created Hitler sex crime chatbot -Fraud

What an absolute crock of horse shit. They've invented a world where if you actually believe in the words of the declaration of independence and the constitution and not some perverted political twisting of them you suddenly "loathe America". And they did the same thing with Christianity.

Morning Joe interviewed 3-time Trump voters who are disillusioned: "It's been 2 years now. You said you'd bring down grocery prices. I'm the most angry person when I grocery shop" "He's backtracked on every single pitch he had during his election ... I'm not a big supporter of him at this point"

One annoying thing about Aaron's clips is how he transcribes what they said and you think "that can't really be what they said, Aaron must've made a mistake" so you feel obliged as a good citizen to listen to it yourself and inevitably Aaron was right, that's really what they said.

"We’re publishing this blog post to explain our decision to refer to Delaney Hall as a “concentration camp” and clarify the term’s meaning." This is incredibly important. jerseybee.org/2026/06/11/w...

Mamdani may be the only person who comes out of the World Cup with positive press. And that might cause grave harm to fragile little Donald J Trump. [I half wonder whether Homan is scheduling an invasion bc Mamdani is more popular than Trump.]

things that currently exist that i am enjoying because they exist and are real and real companies are producing these things - data centers in space - full self driving - robotaxis - computer chips in your brains - mars colonies - moon catapults - fully autonomous robots (billions of them)

Saying the quiet part out loud.

Whom amongst us hasn't hidden in the back of a CrossFit class and barely done the workout

New in PN: Will Dems become the party of faith? "It's just possible that Trump — whose appeals to a certain cohort of the religiously observant have morphed into an almost gleeful celebration of amorality — may have, entirely unintentionally, opened a door to a new kind of faith-inspired politics."

Fox News attacks Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong for proposing… um… good ideas.
