How the Trump Administration Is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy

The new rules eliminate the 15% corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. We are back to some large companies with billions in profits paying as little as $0 in federal taxes. Billionaires and large corporations currently own the government. #NoKings

Stephen King: “Most people are good”

Agreed. Namaste.

The U.S. just blew up a small boat off Venezuela.

No trial. No warning. No proof offered beyond “we suspected.”

11 people dead.

This is what it looks like when a president claims the power to kill on suspicion alone.

This is why we need accountability before we face another tragedy.

Horrified.

I am not sure about near term, but I don’t think this is a viable long term strategy. Ultimately agentic agents will not even visit websites. They will access data stored in databases behind MCP servers using APIs. Even in the near term agents will mostly rely on sites with verifiable authority.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?

1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge

2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients

3. Because it generates delay and confusion.
