Perhaps we should stop giving unlimited power to narcissistic megalomaniacs with stimulant and sexual impropriety issues who believe their god-given destiny is to marshal a cult of personality and use it to exert complete ownership over the planet and the labor of everyone on it. Just a thought.

Thousands of words already about Trump-Musk tiff. I've seen no discussion about how taxing Musk would significantly improve the bill. Only memes about what it means that two such emotional creatures wield so much power. Almost no comment abt Trump's promise to abuse his position for revenge.

Chris Murphy: "The entire administration is a grift from top to bottom... it appears Musk didn't get everything that he wanted in this bill to help his companies, and so he's throwing a temper tantrum... you have to understand none of this is on the level. It's a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

With Palantir finally receiving the attention it deserves, we wrote an article documenting Thiel’s history with Zuckerberg, his influence over JD Vance, and the connection between his neoreactionary ideology and Russell Vought’s Project 2025. It has always been Thiel’s plan to destroy democracy.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
