Palantir Is Extending Its Reach Even Further Into Government Palantir has become one of the few winners in the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts, offering other contractors a lifeline while consolidating its own reach and power.

I have questions when Trump-Vance friend Peter Theil controls data across the government. And security-wise, is this a single point of failure? www.wired.com/story/palant...

The recent discussion of DOJ β€œburn bags” should be a warning to everyone calling for the release of the Epstein files: They may no longer exist. This is, after all, a very ham-fisted cover-up.

A volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula has begun erupting for the first time in 600 years.

According to local scientists, the eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano sent an ash plume up to 6,000 meters into the sky.

Chinese naval exercises are now taking place in the Guangdong waters, Taiwan Strait.

What’s interesting is that the drills for the first time involve both civilian and commercial vessels, which are widely expected to be used by the Chinese Navy in any landing operation in a conflict with Taiwan.

A moral man doesn’t praise Epstein in 2002 as a β€œterrific guy” who likes β€œyounger” women, after a 16-year-old spa worker at Mar-a-Lago was targeted in 2000.

A moral man calls the cops. Warns the girl's family. Bans the predator.

He did none of that. They partied for 7 more years. That's SICK!

The Trump admin has no business investigating Jack Smith

Or having Trump’s ex-defense lawyer, now Deputy AG, meet with a potential witness against him, Ghislaine Maxwell

The hypocrisy is grotesque. I discussed @msnbc.com

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines.

Head of U.S. pro-Israel group J Street 'won't argue' with those calling Gaza war genocide ***

β€œThis shift comes days after Ben-Ami appeared on Pod Save the World in a debate with journalist Mehdi Hasan, during which he repeatedly refused to call Israel's actions in Gaza genocide – despite Hasan's pressing and citations of international law.”

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angelesβ€”the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they workβ€”the court has said that can no longer happen.

I saw him say he'd donate $200 million for the gilded ballroom, possibly in conjunction with other "donors."

Either he has grifted us so rotten that he has that sum to spend (unlikely he would if he could)

OR

we are so numbed by the volume & brazenness of his corruption it no longer registers.
