These guys are prepared - they have spent almost 50 years fine tuning their oppressive regime and ensuring their control

We just have morons running our govt who operate on impulse and the whims of a grifter, who happens to be suffering from dementia

‘War is peace’ according to these authoritarian nut jobs.

Always amazing that people forget the lessons of history - they exist to help us avoid similar mistakes. We know Trump doesn’t read but does anyone in the administration?

Yes. He is a dumbass. Like Boebert who couldn’t define inflation.

Basic knowledge tests should be required for congresspeople!

Seems like ‘war is peace’ is back in vogue. Is someone in the Trump administration reading Orwell and giving Trump a step by step coloring book

Can we enforce basic knowledge requirements for Congress people - economics, political science, US Constitution 101, etc

I don’t blame Israel for recognizing that Iran is a threat to their security. I blame Trump for being fooled by Bibi to go along with another poorly thought out scheme. Regime change just doesn’t happen. They are creating a ton of uncertainty and risk, likely lowering the likelihood of peace.

The American people now see Trump for who he is — a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.

The grifter in chief is now putting the lives of the brave men and women of the military at severe risk. How will these families feel knowing that this is an illegal war, poorly planned and in many ways being used to divert from the catastrophe within the US - high costs, ICE brutality and Epstein

Is this an illegal order? The president needs congressional approval…

Dean W. Ball & @deanwball X.com Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American Al to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an Al company in the United States. Last edited 4:46 PM • 2/27/26 • 584K Views

Dean W. Ball & @deanwball X.com Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.

This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

Trump’s former AI advisor calls the Trump administration’s treatment of @anthropic.com “attempted corporate murder” and says Hegseth is engaging in “a psychotic power grab.”

Doesn’t Florida have an anti gerrymandering law in place? I presume this battle is not over…

Does anybody with a connection to Radiohead want to check if they'll record a No Kings/Fuck ICE song?

1 page of “reasoning” and 16 pages of illegal rules and regulations, rewriting election laws.

This is amazing.

If you watch one single clip this week, let it be this one. And watch the whole thing.

This isn't a game. This isn't about politics. This is about how corruption is destroying millions of American lives.

The Old North Church in Boston, where Paul Revere gave his warning

words projected on the front of the USIP building that say “Trump destroyed this Institution, imposing his name on the building, a narcissistic attempt to associate himself with peacemaking.”

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.”

Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

Fintech company Block lays off 4,000 of its 10,000 staff, citing gains from AI Shares in the financial technology company Block have soared more than 20% in after-hours trading after its CEO announced it was laying off more than 4,000 of its 10,000 some employees due to efficien...

Laying off 40% of the company is a bit dystopian. Imagine if every company took a similar path - most people would be doing manual labor jobs that could not be replaced by AI or robots. I guess stock trading would be lucrative in the short run. Corps need people to spend money, which requires jobs.

Probably an uphill battle as the Ellison friendly FTC controls approval. State of CA does have antitrust laws that could potentially be leveraged. Need the lawyers to chime in!

Those with talent and morals will find new homes - I imagine a lot of studios see this as an opportunity!

They are paying a lot for an asset that will be made irrelevant. In the mean time, people will continue to turn to independent media. I am less worried about ‘state media’ in this case given the depth and breath of new media.

Has WB formally accepted Ellison’s offer? This situation has been so wild that I wonder if they will stick with Netflix…

Anthropic CEO says AI company 'cannot in good conscience accede' to Pentagon's demands Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the artificial intelligence company “cannot in good conscience accede” to the Pentagon’s demands to allow wider use of its technology.

Hungary's leader orders extra security at energy sites, claiming Ukraine plots disruptions Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán ordered extra security at critical energy infrastructure sites after claiming Ukraine was attempting to disrupt Hungary’s energy system.

Viktor Orban is now 20 points behind in the polls - and so he has ordered the military to guard “key energy facilities” against a possible Ukrainian “attack.” Hungarians fear he plans a fake national security emergency or false-flag incident before the April 12 election

I know how history will write about and judge Mike Johnson but I wonder if he ever thinks about it. Was he simply hoping that their takeover attempt would enable him to rewrite the past?

In the case of Trump polls, let’s take the negative. I think we need to reframe this to highlight fact most people do not like Trump or his policies.

Eg.

CNN
Overall Disapprove 63
Working class 58
Independents 73

My hope for tonight is that Trump’s sundown syndrome is in full effect - corporate media will have no choice but to finally report on his declined mental state & question if he is fit for office (most of us already know he isn’t)

Or maybe they will drug him like last month and it will be over in 30
