Palantir Pays Zero Federal Income Tax Despite Explosive Growth, Largely Due to Trump Tax Law Palantir reported $1.5 billion of U.S. income but paid exactly zero federal income tax in 2025. Despite explosive growth, tax breaks from the Trump tax law helped Palantir avoid paying even a dime of...

Last year, surveillance giant Palantir (who got an 8-figure contract from ICE) paid $0 in federal income tax despite making $1.5 BILLION, partly due to new tax cuts in Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill.

They cut Medicaid & SNAP to pay for this.

This monstrosity must be reversed.

Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air interview out of fear of FCC Colbert kicked off Monday's episode of "The Late Show" by saying that the network's lawyers told him he could not have Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the broadcast.

When corporate media obeys in advance, authoritarianism wins & the truth loses.

This cowardice from CBS — & the Admin's weaponization of the FCC — threatens our 1st Amendment rights. We must not be silent as corporations keep bowing down to Trump.

We must call them out.

Exclusive: Pentagon threatens to cut off Anthropic in AI safeguards dispute Anthropic has not agreed to the Pentagon's terms and defense officials are getting fed up after months of difficult negotiations.

So let's get this straight: Hegseth wants AI to be programmed to kill people WITHOUT any human authorization or intervention?

Is he trying to devise a system to shield himself and others from allegations of war crimes?

Democrats To Boycott Trump’s State Of the Union, Attend Rally Instead

At least a dozen Democratic lawmakers will boycott Trump's State of the Union next Tuesday, and instead take part in a rally focused on countering the president’s night of “lies and misplaced priorities.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is among them.

"I will not normalize Donald Trump's march toward fascism by attending his state of the union address."

Finally, people are recognizing what I have been saying for months -- CBS has completely capitulate to Trump.

Trump’s Justice Department is playing us.

Anderson Cooper’s ‘F*ck You’ to Bari Weiss Zeteo's media newsletter, 'Ragebait,' is back with the behind the scenes of Weiss's latest blunder at CBS News, why Stephen Colbert dgaf, and the billionaire eyeing CNN who has staffers there on edge.

“So the fact that people are piling on her and she’s not this lauded visionary is very, very painful for her,” one CBS News staffer told me about Cooper leaving. “And the fact that Anderson Cooper is like, go fuck yourself – that woman is staying up at night for sure.”

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Hegseth invited Christian nationalist Doug Wilson to preach at Pentagon The self-described “paleo-Confederate” has argued that wives should submit to their husbands, women should be denied the vote and Christian slaveowners were on “firm scriptural ground.”

Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson, who has argued that women should be denied the right to vote and Christian slaveowners were on “firm scriptural ground,” led a worship service at the Pentagon at the invitation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The Epstein administration is covering up the Epstein files.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

‪Roger Sollenberger‬: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website.

AG Rayfield and a multistate coalition just filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s unlawful decision to terminate funding for energy and infrastructure programs created by Congress in laws like the Inflation Reduction Act. The terminations not only halt critical research and infrastructure upgrades but also disrupt workforce training and educational opportunities.

DOE unlawfully terminated three major agreements harming Oregon State University, totaling more than $125 million in funding. These projects support faculty, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students, and administrative staff at OSU, as well as collaborations with Oregon Sea Grant, Renewable Northwest, the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, and community colleges across the state.

America’s Generals Shouldn’t Face Political Loyalty Tests Keeping politics out of the military is what keeps the military out of politics.

Ken Paxton’s ‘Shoddy’ Prosecution of a Midwife Is Part of a Strategy to Expand His Power. Low-Income Houstonians Are Paying the Price. Maria Margarita Rojas is the first healthcare provider charged for abortion care under Texas’ strict criminal ban. Her attorneys say the state has no evidence—yet her clinics remain shuttered.

Out today: “A prosecutor who is truly interested in justice does not blast out a public press release like this to the media while a trial is pending. Nothing has been proven in court yet, and this inflammatory language is just meant to fan the flames of public outcry and poison a jury pool.”

Well, that's one way to encourage voters to replace Republicans with Democrats in the next election.

Stephen Colbert Just Gave the FCC a Free Lesson About the Streisand Effect CBS and the FCC are once again trying to control the Late Show host. So far, it's backfiring spectacularly.

We’re beginning to see what Stephen Colbert looks like when he has no FCCs left to give. slate.trib.al/a0YMaCn

As Charlie Sykes has found out, you have to turn to European newspapers to get accurate reports on US politicians, because you won't find much in US papers.
