We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Trump’s war.

He’s disgusting

Odd. Isn’t his master, Putin, rather fond of Cuba?

Judge: IRS broke law ‘approximately 42,695 times’ in giving DHS data A court on Thursday issued an opinion on a data-sharing agreement between the taxpayer agency and federal immigration authorities.

A federal judge has found that the IRS violated federal law "approximately 42,695 times" when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.

This guy (a Pentagon official) has tweeted about Anthropic no less than 7 times over the past 2 hours.

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.

The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

I hope the next president starts with Musk and Thiel.

Trump, Iran, and the Limits of Bullying The U.S. president deployed a lot of military firepower to the Middle East, apparently hoping to bully Iran into a deal, but that almost certainly won't work. What then?

The US had a deal curbing Iran’s nuclear program, but Trump scrapped it in 2018, letting Iran out of restrictions in exchange for nothing.

That makes it even harder for Tehran to make a deal now, since they cannot trust that American pressure will ease in response.

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

That’s not light, it’s the flames of Hell, Roger.

Politics and optics aren’t synonymous.

This isn't just about conflicts of interest and whether or not she'll be profiting in office.

It's about her having a clear record of endorsing faulty products in exchange for compensation. It's about her being completely unworthy of an office that requires public trust.

Oz is as bad a liar as Trump.

BREAKING on MS NOW:

The FBI has fired at least 7 FBI agents and support staff as a result of their role in Trump's classified documents.

The people fired are said to have participated in some way in pulling phone records of Patel and Susie Wiles during that investigation.

The Party of Lincoln now believes in a government of the predators, by the predators, and for the predators

Can’t we just throw Rick Scott into prison?

A White House Staffer Appears to Run Massive Pro-Trump X Account A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED.

SCOOP: An X account called Johnny MAGA with 300k followers that described the Obamas-as-apes video as "a masterpiece" appears to be a sockpuppet account for a White House rapid-reaction staffer. @makenakelly.bsky.social has all the details:

CREW files amicus brief urging SCOTUS to reject GEO Group’s claim to sovereign immunity - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The Supreme Court should reject GEO Group’s call to expand sovereign immunity to all government contractors, according to an amicus brief filed by CREW.

Great news: Today the Supreme Court unanimously rejected GEO Group's attempt to expand sovereign immunity to government contractors.

We filed an amicus brief in the case in September:

The Delusion of “Advanced” Plastic Recycling The plastics industry has heralded a type of chemical recycling it claims could replace new shopping bags and candy wrappers with old ones — but not much is being recycled at all, and this method won’...

The world is drowning in plastic.

Experts say we need to stop making so much.

But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.

Don't be fooled.

The big picture: Hegseth told Amodei in a tense meeting on Tuesday that the Pentagon will either cut ties and declare Anthropic a "supply chain risk," or invoke the Defense Production Act to force the company to tailor its model to the military's needs. Why it matters: The Pentagon wants to punish Anthropic as the feud over AI safeguards grows increasingly nasty, but officials are also worried about the consequences of losing access to its industry-leading model, Claude. "The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now. The problem for these guys is they are that good," a Defense official told Axios ahead of the meeting. Anthropic has said it is willing to adapt its usage policies for the Pentagon, but not to allow its model to be used for the mass surveillance of Americans or the development of weapons that fire without human involvement. Anthropic's Claude is the only AI model currently used for the military's most sensitive work.

There's a lot going on.

But it deserves FAR MORE ATTENTION that Whiskey Pete is going to seize the means of AI production so he can 1) engage in mass surveillance of Americans and 2) shoot without human intervention.

Dystopias this bad would be deemed unrealistic.

NEW: Text messages show the Virgin Islands Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. repeatedly told Jeffrey Epstein he would intervene on his behalf as regulators moved to penalize him for illegal construction on his private islands — months before Epstein’s 2019 arrest.

He won’t live to see the next election but he’s prepping like he is.

We need to start preparing for what MAGA does when Trump dies of natural causes. Because I think they’re going to lose their minds and get violent.

The Trump boys are Making Corruption Great Again Hunter Biden could never.

"We’ve never had a president who used the WH as a real-time venture capital accelerator for his family. In Trump’s first term, his children at least pretended that they weren’t trying to profit off the presidency. This time around, they’re selling Trump-branded crypto tokens." — @lizdye.bsky.social
