Peter Thiel is a techno-fascist billionaire who works behind the scenes. He may not be as well-known as Elon Musk, but heโ€™s definitely more dangerous.

With his surveillance company, Palantir, powering ICE and his influence over JD Vance and the tech-right, he is actively trying to rid of democracy.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Securityโ€™s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noemโ€™s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant By Josh Campbell and Kit Maher, CNN 1 minute read Updated 2:40 PM EDT, Mon April 21, 2025

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's bag was stolen, including her driverโ€™s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.

If she can't even secure her bag, how can she be trusted with homeland security?

Musk plans to hide

Boo hoo poor Elon, he really thinks he can just walk away after all the damage he did. The world wonโ€™t rest until everything around him crashes and he ends up the poorest man in the world.

There will be no forgiveness. Musk should just flee back to South Africa. #endoligarchy #teslatakedown

US troops walking away

As a show of loyalty to the Kremlin, the Trump regime is opting to pull 10,000 US troops from Eastern Europe, specifically those currently stationed across Poland, Romania, and the Baltic, in an effort to weaken NATO defenses against Russia.

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations:

Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines.
Milbank can challenge clean air rules.
Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water.
Skadden is perfect to break the unions.

Shameful all.
