While Trump is deporting landscapers and bricklayers at Home Depot parking lots, he's officially exempting the folks who wash dishes and make beds at hotels...

Will this pic do? Luka. 😍

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans.

They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

This Is How Tesla Will Die The vultures are circling the tech giant.

Either way, this shows that #Musk isn’t really the wealthiest man on the planet...The emperor has no clothes. Do you see why he is distracting you? Why he looks so frantic? Musk is terrified of reality because it means the end for him. #Tesla www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/this-is-ho...

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Musk and Trump Are Causing the Dumbest Imperial Collapse in History Empires have fallen before. But it’s never been this purely idiotic.

"...while he lets a South African immigrant ultra-billionaire and his crew of teenybopper fascists tear the wiring out of the federal government—again, for no reason. Never underestimate the destructive power of stupidity." #Trump #Musk prospect.org/world/2025-0...

Elon: Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception”. That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam. Just wow.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Purely coincidental, Reuters won a Pulitzer Prize for this investigation into Elon Musk:

Nine paragraphs into today's NYT story on the situation with the Gaza ceasefire, readers are informed that Israeli officials and international mediators "said that Hamas’s claims were accurate."

Is Trump Ready for Bird Flu? Most of his health picks are uninterested in using most of the tools that can limit the spread of infectious disease.

Nope!

The Recruitment Effort That Helped Build Elon Musk’s DOGE Army At least three individuals associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year, WIRED has learned.

Are we surprised that so many young racist tech-bros ended up at DOGE? Peter Thiel was involved in the recruiting.

Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

Yes, Elon Musk is muy macho cutting off food and medicine to little kids.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

REP. RASKIN: “We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” 🇺🇸

But what, you might ask, are the happy things that have happened to you this week? I give you exhibits A and B. I was hiking last Sunday through one of those semi-abandoned HK villages and I spotted these stuffed into a basket of trash

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

Even Moloch wasn’t so greedy for death If you think of our society as organized in terms of a religion rather than an ideology, our modern industrial civilization has a demonic vibe to it. Democracy? Totalitarianism? What? Lol. None of th...

Firefighting Aircraft Collides with Drone Over Palisades Fire The plane’s wing was damaged and it has been grounded, a Cal Fire spokesman said.

A firefighting aircraft flying over the Palisades fire in Los Angeles collided with a drone on Thursday, warning that flying drones can disrupt firefighting efforts and endanger lives.

If you're shocked and/or surprised by the Los Angeles wildfires, you should read John Vaillant's "Fire Weather: A True Story from A Hotter World." www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/a... @johnvaillant.bsky.social

Back in May 2022, we warned you that Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules would help elect Donald Trump in 2024

▶️ See story: www.gregpalast.com/2000-mules-b...

The film’s premise was that the 2020 election was stolen by thousands of “mules” illegally dropping fraudulent ballots into dropboxes. 🧵
