A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.
Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something elseβwhen it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARYβis about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: βNo one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.β

What we die from vs. what we hear in the news.
Terrorism and homicides account for less than 1% of deaths, but for more than half of all media stories about death in the US β whether in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or Fox News.

It runs on trust and norms of reciprocity.
Having Governors send their troops against the will of the receiving state creates some real long term problems.
We are seeing dozens of these videos every day. It's happening all over the ocuntry. I know many people are outraged but it's just continuing unabated.
This feeling of impotence is devastating. How does it end? With the country emptied of brown people and dissidents in jail?
Nooooo!

@gregsargent.bsky.social is absolutely right. Big, legacy media has got to catch up to reality.
It probably goes without saying the financial nuts and bolts of the world's largest organization are complex, but like we almost accidentally did tens of thousands of anti-deficiency act violations the other day because a thing was set a way that made sense in normal times but no one noticed it now

11.10.2025 04:40 β π 2262 π 1004 π¬ 424 π 644Screenshot text from The Guardian: He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, AI and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: βItβs become quite difficult to hide oneβs money.β Itβs because the antichrist talks about Armageddon nonstop. Weβre all scared to death that weβre sleepwalking into Armageddon. And then because we know world war three will be an unjust war, that pushes us. Weβre going hard towards peace at any price. What I worry about in that sort of situation is you donβt think too hard about the details of the peace and it becomes much more likely that you get an unjust peace. This is, by the way, the slogan of the antichrist: 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Itβs peace and safety, sort of the unjust peace. Let me conclude on this choice of antichrist or Armageddon. And again, in some ways the stagnation and the existential risks are complementary, not contradictory. The existential risk pushes us towards stagnation and distracts us from it. How does Thiel think Armageddon will happen? Thiel rarely gives a definitive answer about who exactly the antichrist might be or how Armageddon might come about β a central point across his lectures is that nothing is written in stone or inevitable β but he does give the contours of what a global conflict that could lead to Armageddon might look like.
People paid $200 a ticket to listen to Peter Thiel do bog issue antisemitism for four lectures about his belief in the antichrist.
Lots of fools wishing to be relieved of their money, I guess.
