DOGE fired thousands of civil servants — actual patriots who took an oath to defend the constitution and democracy — so that Palantir could illegally consolidate and consume Americans' private data. Palantir is to patriotism as a vulture is to roadkill.

There's a kid (25yr old former military) at work whose political views seem to meander between left and right, with an over-abundance of edgelord sprinkled in. Like I've heard from a coworker who's trans that he "didn't know how to feel about trans people" until working in this space with one.

Earlier this year, we published an article headlined “10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement.”
We failed, though, to consider that the president might simply force the US government, i.e. us taxpayers, to straight-up pay him hundreds of millions of dollars. Our bad.

Report: Trump demands taxpayers hand him $230 million
Is it still "ridiculous that anyone would even suggest" that he's cashing in?

Yesterday, Meta unveiled a new "feed" on its platforms that will exclusively feature AI-generated videos.
This overshadowed another big announcement...
On Tuesday, Meta launched a super new PAC geared towards electing politicians that will block any AI regulation.

Do I send the stew unaccompanied? Or hoard the stew for myself?

The city would see a sharp increase in the number of federal and military personnel on the ground. Day-to-day, that would mean more checkpoints, curfews, raids, surveillance, and visible armed patrols. Trump has also verbally authorized the use of any force required against protesters.
