1.) Try to cover up the leaking of top secret documents by firing all your staffers and accusing them of leaking to the media
2.) Fired staffers promptly begin leaking to the media about what a clown you are
Masterful gambit sir

Say what you will about Bridge but he would not have leaked TS/SCI documentation twice in as many days, lie about it, and then fired everyone else who might roll on him

Palantir and Anduril's aggressive and inappropriate courtship of various government and especially IC orgs - while simultaneously peddling right-wing ideology - should make them PNG in every procurement process.
You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here.
But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

A moment of reckoning has
arrived for the West.
Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built - and why.
We did.
We built Palantir to ensure America's future, not to tinker at the margins. On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield - we build to dominate.
Join us.

The NYT editorial board statement on the firing of the CNO is atrocious. Seriously a bunch of people with zero relevance to the Navy going "well why didn't you just ask for more money?"

Ukraine in NATO or boots on the ground were never going to happen, but there is a correct way to play this, and Trump signing a bullshit deal with no enforcement that Putin will violate instantaneously will torpedo diplomacy for the next 50 years.

It is always an interesting litmus test to see who supports the execution of a policy they like even if the policy is being executed by the dumbest man on the planet whose only serious interest is gaining as much money as possible.

A lot of this sort of thing stems from the fact that a lot of very very stupid people have lots of money and power and genuinely cannot believe that their ideas are not taken seriously, thus proving there is no meritocracy.
