I can't speak for other people but I call Elon a Nazi because he walks and talks and acts and even salutes like one. Hope that helps clear it up.

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

Republicans know their ideas are unpopular. They know the president is unpopular. That’s why they desperately want to hold on to power. But Rep. Justin Pearson is fighting back. “The playbook they are using ... is about their control being solidified, not for a year or two, but in perpetuity.”

“Over a period of seven years, Palantir conducted a major sales campaign aimed at securing Swiss federal authorities as clients. During this time, Palantir was turned down outright at least nine times…” 2/18/26 … 1/ www.republik.ch/2026/02/18/h...

President Donald Trump seems to be shrinking himself down, according to a conservative columnist, and his seeming capitulation could diminish him even further.

The US surrender in Trump's failed 112-day Iran “excursion” is coinciding with the triumphal opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. The split-screen contrast is painful, and telling. My new @thebulwark.com piece on Trump's enduring Obama envy: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-stil...

Thoughts on Capitulation Day. This level of defeat in Iran is only possible at the hands of a super loser like Trump. To win a war means changing the politics of the enemy such that they must surrender. That is what Iran just did to the United States. Read more: snyder.substack.com/p/capitulati...

The U.S. intelligence report concludes “that in the face of national elections this fall, Netanyahu’s political survival is linked to showing .. that he will not withdraw troops from Lebanon and that he is intent on escalating the fighting with Hezbollah ..” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

While blueprints leaked to the @sanjosespotlight.com exposed ICE’s plans for holding cells in Gilroy, Calif., newly obtained GSA files reveal how the project bypassed oversight. Records show the agency used an “office relocation” loophole to skip environmental reviews entirely.

Fresh off his appearance at a Portuguese far-right conference earlier this month, Greg Bovino is apparently attending another one this time in Bucharest 🇷🇴. It'll be attended, as far as I can tell, mostly by a gaggle of parliamentary nobodies but a few known names like George Simion & Thierry Baudet

I think Obama's speech also implicitly urges Democrats to go bigger against Trump and MAGA. Small-bore politics and slogans about "affordability" aren't going to cut it. Obama was modeling a big argument for Dems: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

Just a reminder that a lot of Democratic strategists and consultants make their real money working with corporations that they then covertly lobby for when they run campaigns where they just reheat the same slop over and over whether it works or not.

Ukraine increases strikes on Russian oil and weapons infrastructure as it garners aid and begins EU talks.

“This administration is trying to take away one of the most fundamental rights that people with disabilities have fought for."

Now who’s the real boss… I’m gonna say Obama…

FLASH: Justice Dept refuses to make official court filing which would've confirmed they're halting the Trump $1.7 billion slush fund DOJ: "Such declarations are unnecessary and the compelled testimony of senior officials from the Executive Branch implicates serious separation of powers concerns"

Joined the Times Tech Report to dive into OpenAI's audited financials, AI companies burying costs in sales and marketing, and that the fact we have to debate AI's ROI four years and a trillion plus dollars in is proof that this industry is a bubble. youtu.be/UnLRb-sU-Is?...

The mask is FULLY off from the man now.

When leaders throughout history have lost wars—especially ones they started--typically their fate is removal from office followed by prison, exile and/or execution. That is exactly what should happen to Donald Trump for losing the Iran war. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/when-leade...

France and Germany have both seen the danger of Palantir and cut ties with the predatory firm - the UK must do the same By @joejglenton.bsky.social

Petey Thiel's buddies think they can sue anyone into silence. Or bankruptcy. Not so much, Palantir, you scumbags.

Retired FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi warned on my show that there is no greater threat our democracy than Donald Trump. As Frank explained, Trump is “an existential threat to how we practice democracy.” Frank then shared what we need to do to protect our election! youtu.be/cidbTFBu4Aw?...

U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy has proposed eliminating the U.S. Forest Service’s airworthiness inspections for aircraft that fight wildfires. The idea itself could benefit Sheehy personally.

Donald Trump's physical appearance at this week's G7 summit disconcerted a panelist on MS NOW — who was lightly scolded by the host for pointing out the president's apparent decline.

Trump could absolutely execute a person on Fifth Avenue and face no consequences. In fact, he could probably execute millions of people a year and face no consequences. We know this because Elon Musk is doing it right now.

It took only 48 hours for Republicans to backtrack their initial protests of the U.S.'s MoU with Iran. @jvl.bsky.social includes some of the most interesting bootlicking techniques from Republicans and more in the latest Triad.

“Dark money” campaign finance strategies are evolving to keep funders hidden. Here’s what can be done about it: bit.ly/4uvXfb9

France's Emmanuel Macron and Spain's Pedro Sánchez have issued a blistering rebuke against deportation camps outside Europe, setting their countries on a collision course with a growing political majority. "What world do we live in?" Macron said. https://l.euronews.com/MQNF

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.

BREAKING France says it will not allow the lifting of sanctions on Iran if a Trump-negotiated deal is unacceptable www.rfi.fr/en/france/20...

More than $350 million from President Donald Trump’s “ big, beautiful bill ” has been quietly directed to White House security, an allotment that Democrats warn appears to be helping fund his new ballroom project — despite the president’s insistence that no taxpayer dollars would be used.

The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality. In the battle over our 250th anniversary, we need to put that basic truth squarely on the agenda. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

The shallow, sunny waters of the reflecting pool are an ideal incubator for algae growth in the summertime. Experts say the recent renovation may have helped accelerate it.

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

A Salon columnist said that President Donald Trump looked so worn out at this week's Group of Seven summit in France that his appearance revealed more about his standing than the Iran agreement he traveled there to tout.

This week: Pride Month faces growing attacks tied to Christian nationalist agendas, TikTok is being used to spread “tradwife” recruitment, transnational far-right networks are exploiting unrest in Belfast to fuel anti-immigrant violence, and the profiles shaping the Christian nationalist movement.

🚨 REPORT: The federal government is reportedly abandoning its plan to turn seven warehouses into massive ICE detention centers, per @nytimes.com. The kicker? ICE reportedly spent $700M of the $1B Trump allocated for this wasted warehouse shopping spree.

Bahahaha

JD Vance wants to revive the fascism-friendly ideology of the 1940 "America First" movement, and make it central to US foreign policy in the 21st Century, as I discussed in PN.

Today I am moved by power of this example of how Black people hold our own history. Without museums. W/o official declarations or monuments. In community. Happy Juneteenth!

People see basic survival becoming harder and harder while Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire. People aren't idiots.

The government claims that it has the power to dismiss the NAACP’s lawsuit against one of the president’s political allies.

Trump wants you to pay $80 BILLION for his failed Iran war. Republicans in Congress made health care more expensive for millions of Americans, but somehow there is always money for war halfway around the world. It’s outrageous.
