There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

When I say "run out of money," I mean that Oracle cannot afford to pay the debt on its data centers if OpenAI does not pay it. For OpenAI to do so, it will have to make more money than Salesforce in the space of a year.
edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
Oracle Is Going To Default On Its Debts By 2028 Unless It Can Build 4.5GW of Data Centers In The Next Year And A Half, And Likely Needs Upwards of $150 Billion More In Debt To Do So Even if OpenAI makes the money, Oracle still needs the data centers. Oracle has already delayed multiple OpenAI data centers to 2028. Oracle is already having trouble raising funding for the data centers, and US banks are balking at working with it further. Oracle already has $95 billion in outstanding debt, with much of it yet to truly start accumulating interest (or requiring significant payments). Oracle has $248 billion in upcoming lease obligations for data centers to service OpenAI’s compute. OpenAI needs to raise $100 billion, and clearly needs to do it quickly, suggesting it will have significant difficulty paying Oracle. For any of this to work, OpenAI must be paying Oracle more than the ($75 billion in) annual revenue of Microsoft Azure in the next two years. This is not hyperbole - it’s quite literally the cost of the agreement that helped Oracle pump its stock. Even if Oracle rewrites the terms of its deal with OpenAI, the debt exists, the construction has started, and the expectations are set with the market that it will have made hundreds of billions of revenue from AI compute by 2030. Here is the very, very likely scenario: OpenAI folds within the next year or two, and Oracle sees its stock beaten to death by furious investors who have already drained it of 50% of its value since last September. In this scenario, Oracle must somehow reconcile with its various creditors, and while it’s likely created all manner of weird SPVs and other kinds of holding entity to distance itself from the damage, but nothing can keep creditors from your door when you’ve raised $38 billion, let alone the many more tens of billions to come if it wants to actually keep its end of the bargain. The problem I see is an inevitable reckoning with one or more realities: OpenAI will not h… In all of these scenarios, Oracle is left with massive amounts of debt, with some of it tied to construction milestones for projects it likely cannot afford to finish. I have for a while theorized that the $15 billion raised for Stargate Abilene is insufficient to complete it, and if any extra funding is required, it will send shockwaves through every data center deal as tightening debt markets make it tough to get things over the line. There’s no squaring this circle.

it's really good that Oracle bought TikTok, a business that only loses money, at a time when it took on $56bn+ in debt and $240bn in lease obligations for GPUs to rent to OpenAI, a company that will run out of money. This could all have the funniest ending ever

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

Most worrying of all, the biggest time bomb is NVIDIA - in the next 3 quarters, it needs to be making $94bn+ in revenue *in a single quarter* and nearly double its revenue - otherwise the markets will panic that growth has slowed.
edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
So, assuming that it grows at 65% year-over-year every quarter, NVIDIA will have to be making over $94 billion in revenue in a single quarter by the end of this year (Q3FY27), and over $155 billion in a single quarter a year after that. No, really, look! Look! Looook!!! (All numbers in millions): As of its last quarterly earnings, NVIDIA’s trailing 12 month revenue was $187 billion. To keep up its current pace of earnings - and not freak out the entire market - NVIDIA needs to triple its revenue in two years, predominantly from selling GPUs that are so expensive to buy and install that they almost always require debt. NVIDIA needs to be making about $579 billion a year by the end of Q4FY2028 to keep up with expectations.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement.

🚨 The Trump administration has rolled out a coordinated campaign across departments, using imagery and messaging straight from right-wing and white nationalist circles.

This isn’t subtle.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
