I've figured out, @TheStalwart, why the anti-oligarchs enjoyed the Mamdani-Trump presser. It highlighted the inability of the establishment on both sides of the aisle to retain the respect of the American people. https://t.co/VTPx70xOD0

Meta wins its antitrust case, there are now two fire truck antitrust claims, the stock market got wobbly, and Larry Summers was exiled from the establishment, at least for now.

The bill is being pushed by one of the oil industry’s favorite congressmen and would gut one of the country’s bedrock environmental laws —- why would you be surprised that LCV is against it?
You’ve probably read 90,000 excited tweets about how renewables can now beat fossil fuels on costs and how we need to all roll up our sleeves and embrace the solarpunk future. But look how green groups react to bill that makes both both renewal and fossil infrastructure easier.

Even though we’re only 3% off all-time highs, this pullback can feel more dramatic since we haven’t had one in months. Matt's thoughts: “If you’re underallocated to equities… don’t come crying to me at the end of the year.”

DOGE wasn't defeated by "the Swamp." It failed because of: 1) A total misunderstanding of the lead deficit drivers (waste is a minor contributor). 2) Staffing with arrogant, unqualified hacks. 3) Illegally trying to circumvent Congress. It was always just "spending cut theater."
DOGE fought the Swamp and the Swamp won.

“There’s no money in journalism anymore. No fame, no glamour, no prestige. But there’s lots and lots of money in media—in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers.”

Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. https://t.co/PGluUZewaL

The sheer number of incredible things like this happening every day is genuinely overwhelming
An FBI employee is suing Kash Patel after being fired for displaying a pride flag at his workstation. Patel's letter terminating him said he "exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage." The flag was a gift from the FBI in recognition of his

It’s simple, information involved in an ‘investigation’ can be kept confidential.
NEWS: Bondi said that "new information" obtained by investigators had prompted her to reverse her decision to close the Epstein case four months ago. Both Bondi and her top deputy, Todd Blanche, would not say what that information was.

It’s crazy this has been reported and confirmed through independent media but MSM won’t touch it.
Rep. Thomas Massie says what we’re all thinking: “Epstein had close ties to Israel's intelligence agencies. That’s why they’re trying to stop this.”

No historian thinks the League of the Iroquis was a basis for the US Constitution and it's not progressive or daring to pretend that it was.
The League of the Iroquois being a framework for the Constitution is pretty basic middle/high school history textbook stuff my guy sorry you didn't pay attention!

During recent visit in DC, the talk of everyone was how overt the corruption was. It's at levels you read about in history books. In nearly every department. Lots of, "Do people just think Democrats will never win and they'll all get away with this?"
