It really bothers me how incredibly from Berwyn, IL Nick Fuentes is. A lot of other things about him bother me but that's one of them.

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

This is the happiest I've seen this guy all term. Zohran is a generational talent.

This was one of Trump's very worst moments. And that is saying something.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Cloverdale, a tiny town in Sonoma County, California, is being invaded by secretive investors who want to build a new "town."

Of course, the backers of "Esmeralda" have very deep ties to the Network State cult and Peter Thiel.

"The worst of the worst"
Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago spent nearly two months in ICE detention—despite having protection under DACA—until a federal judge ruled that the government had no reason to keep her in custody and ordered her release.

DHS is still vowing to "explore every available option to remove" her. My latest:

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

This whole situation is nuts. An absolutely bizarre selection by the mayor.

Also, unless for egregious misconduct, recalls almost never lead to anything positive.
EXCLUSIVE: Last week, Mayor Daniel Lurie appointed Beya Alcaraz, a 29yo former pet store owner, to be supervisor of the Sunset.

Gabe Greschler reports the store she owned had hundreds of dead mice, feces, trash & a freezer filled w/ dozens of dead pets.

Here we go . . .
A source familiar with Alcaraz said she believed the city’s former compromise to allow cars on the Great Highway on weekdays, but close it off for recreation on the weekends, worked well and would be open to revisiting the issue to bring cars back to the thoroughfare.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.

He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.

He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.

It’s enraging.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.
