It feels like we're approaching our Marie Antoinette moment here in the US.
McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

Trump tries to describe groceries.
It's so weird how he gets fixated on a word which, like groceries, everyone in the world understands - except for him - and he then tries to tell everyone about the word like he's letting them in on a secret.

Trump is obsessed with the term "groceries," but does he even know what they are? #DailyShow #Trump

Never would have taken infosec leaders as cowards. Disappointing.
Big Law has failed to stand up to Trump and now infosec is following suit.
Yesterday the Trump administration took aim at @thekrebscycle.bsky.social and @sentinelone.com over Trump's longstanding beef with Krebs saying the 2020 election was legitimate. So @raphae.li asked more than 30 major cybersecurity firms and trade groups what they had to say. Here's how it went:

The Dems' one point of leverage to push back against Trump & Elon's government burn down and privatization push (aka billionaire-pocket-loading scheme) is to refuse to help fund the gov.

The media have failed us. There aren’t four GOP moderates in the Senate with any backbone. Judicial time is slow and it’s too soon to say whether the courts will fold.
But in a mixed economy you can’t unleash a buncha clueless culture warriors to gut the public sector without obvious consequences.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

This is almost such an obvious point, it feels slightly crazy to point it out, but a politician winning a national election does not mean that the criticisms of that politician were wrong. Nixon and Bush both go reelected and everything their most unsparing critics said about them was right.

I don't know if I can definitively say there ever been a more un-self-aware person than Thiel, but he's definitely the richest most un-self-aware person who constantly wants to put his bad ideas out into the world alive.
"Peter Thiel, longtime Trump supporter and billionaire master of the universe, published an op-ed in Financial Times that perfectly replicates the experience of being cornered by a sweaty cokehead at an Austin, Texas house party."
I Have No Idea What Peter Thiel Is Trying to Say and It’s Making Me Really Uncomfortable
In a rambling op-ed for the Financial Times, the master of the universe ranted about the JFK conspiracy, ‘The Decameron,’ immortal rulers from ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ and Jeffrey Epstein.
