Paul Antonson

This appears to be the same guy that I noticed a month ago in @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social’s post.... @404media.co has more video of him up close. Disturbing choice. www.404media.co/a-cbp-agent-...

"Since the first messenger who told Tigranes that Lucullus was coming had his head cut off for his pains, no one else would tell him anything, and so he sat in ignorance while the fires of war were blazing around him, giving ear only to those who flattered him."

So sorry to hear 🙏 it’s so tough losing a great pal like that.

I’m a fan of Jorgenson but had no idea he was connected to the Post.

Trumps secret police in Sactown… god I hate these fascist scum.

Nobody more fun to watch cook than Monk. Also great in the PnR

TPM reader and subscriber since the days the background was beige. TPM rules ✊

I’d be interested to see the NYTimes actually report on the longstanding friendship and financial ties Trump and Epstein had. You know, journalism! A breakdown of maga reactions is such low hanging fruit.

Oh my

Dope!

Ken Starr helped Jeffrey Epstein with ‘scorched-earth’ campaign, book claims Book by Miami Herald journalist details extraordinary efforts by special prosecutor who hounded Bill Clinton to aid sex trafficker

'...someone in Washington – the book does not specify who – "was calling the shots on the case".'

Release the hounds on Alex Acosta and Ken Starr.

5-7 minute read.

Love a good Encyclopedia Brown reference. I remember a few cases surprisingly well.

Finally living!

The Oval Office is getting even more shiny and gold Donald Trump has always been a fan of gold and is bringing that interior design preference to the White House in a bigly way....

I’m a little obsessed with all the gold in the Oval Office. I’ve been watching and I just noticed that THERE’S MORE GOLD ⚜️🏆⚱️🏆⚜️ sherwood.news/power/the-ov...

If there was a longform podcast covering the Trump/Epstein entanglements it would top the charts.

Digging that concept!

Imagining Warriors scouts watching him play w blinders on and saying “nah”

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.

This is fascism.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

More like neighbor than rival

Whoa what a cool detail

Stephen Miller, top Trump aide, discloses Palantir stake It’s yet another linkage between the stock — the best performer in the S&P 500 this year — and the administration....

The stake in the company — which the disclosure says is between $100,000 and $250,000 — was not previously reported, POGO says.

The stock is technically held in the account of one of Miller’s young children.

Preach

Tech executives pivot to war Tech execs are cozying up to the military industrial complex, seeking partnerships, contracts, and now actual military commissions....

Tech executives tend to have their fads: fasting, cold plunges, and vampiric transfusions of youthful blood are life hacks that have become popular within the C-suites of the Silicon Valley crowd. But now a new trend is gripping the tech bro set: straight-up WAR.

Wish I could have been up there in Shasta with y’all. Next time!

Benjamin Wallace-Wells writes about the Minneapolis shootings and the dangers of a political environment in which it’s unclear who represents what area of law enforcement—and where the limits of their mission lie. nyer.cm/sn7MBGV

Starting to realize Hali may be Him (which hurts my Kings 💜) but I still root for him.

Dear Google,

Why are you giving the Trump White House pristine digital real estate over established news outlets? Twice!

Your algorithms already decimated newsrooms coast to coast, now you’re promoting presidential propaganda over legitimate reporting!?! Shame!
