"This all could have been avoided if Trump had just stayed in the JCPOA...but it was Obama’s brainchild, which meant it had to be torn up, simply because Trump is such an insanely insecure and vindictive man." Important refresher on Iran deal from @mjtoma.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2092...

Me again. Still waiting on the COMPLETE Epstein files to be released. The deeper you go into this, the more pushback you get. Not just disagreement but noise, misdirection, and people stepping in to muddy the waters or reshape the narrative—as if it’s their only job. 🧵

Yeah like, again, Palantir was a known shithead actor long before today.

The White House is doing damage control with prominent manosphere podcasters amid Donald Trump’s fallout with major figures in right-wing media over the Iran war. Joe Rogan is their chief target. Read: bit.ly/4tZ3iFa

Todd Blanche, who says there's nothing NEW in the Epstein Files worth investigating, is now digging into to investigate imaginary crimes against Donald Trump's feelings from the last decade.

In 2024, billionaire families can give an average total of $10 million each in an election cycle—which is an amount roughly equal to what 100,000 typical political donors gave, combined.

The unfit hire the unfit! Never vote republican.

Joe diGenova was sued after he said publicly that a former Trump administration official who didn’t back the election lies “should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot." The official sued him and deGenova was forced to apologize.

I’m sure the pandemic and Black Lives Matter broke his brain but both his parents are fascists, his grandfather was a fascist and I don’t believe there was a time when he wasn’t, even if he kept it on the DL.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Posting this in the hopes it can be manifested: Palantir's greatest source of profit comes from underpaying its so-called "forward-deployed engineers." They are paid well, but only a fraction of their value to the company. They should be encouraged to unionize.

Mass surveillance company Palantir just demanded mandatory US military service in a newly published manifesto. Palantir is also currently the recipient of roughly $2.4B worth of military contracts.

Josh Gruenbaum, Kushner family friend, resigned his position as GSA/FAS Commissioner per an April 17 Federal News Network story. Gruenbaum is a member of Trump's Board of Peace & may still be a member of the Witkoff/Kushner negotiating team... federalnewsnetwork.com/people/2026/...

Paolo Zampolli said he arrived in Serbia earlier today. Posted this 2014 photo of Trump with former Serbian prime minister, Ivica Dačić now Min. of Interior and Police, at Trump Tower.

In past weeks, I posted a lot about shadow FEMA administrator/contractor Kara Voorhies who was hired by Lewandowski last spring. Voorhies was formerly Exec VP/CFO of Jamal Daniel's Crest Investment Corporation. Daniel is Syrian born, wealthy & connected. (added alt text)

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

"So Todd Blanche is appointing a lawyer formerly paid by Russian allies to discredit the Russian investigation to declassify and release a load of intelligence... in the guise of criminalizing counterintelligence investigations."

It is likely that Trump's Iran catastrophe will lead to some kind of compensation for all the countries the US has screwed (which is all of them). We would do well now to lay groundwork for seizing assets of the Palantirs and Musk fortune that enabled Trump's rise and invasion.

Apartheid man: you can take Peter Andreas Thiel out of apartheid era South Africa, but you can't take apartheid era South Africa out of Peter Andreas Thiel. He's that kind of dude.

Conversely, it appears that the Kremlin has just about every briefing point in the president's daily briefing in real time. Wonder how that came about.

Why America is a dangerously dysfunctional nation: belief that Trump is incompetent or even dangerously mentally unstable is now commonplace even among Republicans. But he continues to wield power that was never accorded to any president before him. www.sueddeutsche.de/meinung/dona...

Peter Magyar promises never to allow “government without accountability”—a pledge that resonates far beyond Hungary

How did Devin Nunes hire him as a staffer and why do they always fail up?

Don’t talk to me about Matt Mahan for California. He is backed by wealthy tech bros and is friends with Peter Thiel. Toast has more charisma than him. Nope.

Matt Mahan campaign ads being paid for by Rick Caruso 🤬

& who is mayor of San Jose, CA? Matt Mahan who's running for governor, helping split Dem votes which would guarantee a MAGA governor is elected in Nov Mahan gets major $$ from Palantir co-founder & his ilk Mahan personally helps install FLOCK www.kqed.org/news/1207599... abc7news.com/post/califor...

🚨Fellow California Democrats — the new Emerson poll is a wake-up call. Steyer, Becerra, and Porter are all in double digits, but if we stay divided, Hilton and Bianco could lock up both spots in the general. California uses a top-two primary, so every vote matters.

Matt should have taken Gavin's route. After being the SF Mayor he ran for Lt Gov and worked under the wing of Jerry Brown. But Matt is a Tech Bro DINO supported by billionaires who don't want to pay taxes.

this is why matt mahan is in the race, to hand the ca governor to the GOP.

Do not vote for Matt Mahan in the CA governor's primary. therealdeal.com/la/2026/04/1...

You should absolutely NOT vote for Matt Mahan

Matt Mahan = Palantir

In the second season of Beef on Netflix, Oscar Isaac's character references "Buy, Borrow, Die" — a tax-avoidance method used by the ultra-rich. As part of @propublica.org's Secret IRS Files series, we put together this animation back in 2021 to explain how it works:

Trump has mentioned the ballroom in public remarks on about 1/3 of the days in 2026. That's fewer than tariffs and Iran but about as often as health insurance and “affordability.” The project is broadly unpopular and advisors have urged him to focus on kitchen table issues. But he won't stop.

It’s worth reading the whole Palantir piece to see that they are leaning in to being the Legion of Doom.

The 2024 election had the largest Black-White turnout gap in more than three decades. It's a crisis, my friends. goodauthority.org/news/2024-br...
