Per usual, the NYT accepts Elon Musk's claim that he's estranged from his father, an accused serial pedophile. Meanwhile, his dad insists he remains in close contact with Elon despite allegations of child sex crimes. Elon claims to care about pedophilia—so maybe we should get a final answer on this?

The assault on the first amendment has been akin to an old murder mystery in which would-be killers line up to deliver blows to the victim-Trump, his aides, the Congress, the courts, corporate media, university trustees, lawyers, ceos...it's a long list. www.thedailybeast.com/rip-the-firs...

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”

—Donald Trump, August 2024
Under Donald Trump’s economy:

Coffee is up 26%
Beef is up 14%
Oranges are up 17%
Bananas are up 6%
Chicken is up 6%
Chocolate Chip Cookies are up 5%
Potato Chips are up 4%
Milk is up 4%
But average worker pay is only up 2%

Trumpflation is eating up your paycheck.

Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat.

That investment is clearly continuing to pay off.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to the top.
The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."

This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.

If ever there was an episode to listen to it’s this one. All about the Supreme Court.

All the Constitution requires is that their salaries are paid. There are ways to apply pressure for them to actually do their jobs.

From the perspective of a former prosecutive who worked on trafficking cases, the loss of this office can only be intended to make it easier for the traffickers. There is literally no rationale for doing this.

This is why most experts have been saying that Iran could reconstitute their nuclear program in a matter of months.

It’s also why it’s dangerous to declare victory before you know what you actually accomplished.
“Completely obliterated” = “Mission accomplished.”
