President Trump has personally ordered the Justice Department to open an investigation of Democrats' primary ways for raising donations. It is the third time he has personally ordered an open-ended criminal investigation, each against a perceived political foe. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

I grew up ~10 miles from St. Coletta’s, the institution where his aunt, Rosemary, lived out the majority of her life after her father gave up on her and had her lobotomized. She was 23 at the time. Unreal.

Seeing that some of the never Trumper’s are further left than the entirety of the Democratic establishment is making me laugh and realize how deeply fucked up the Democratic Party is at the national level. Most of America is ready to rumble but Chuck Schumer would rather make deals with the fascists

It’s very simple IMHO. Chuck looks at Republicans and sees his Senate work buddies. Bill looks at them and sees people who pretended to be his friends and lied to his fucking face about supporting every principle he holds sacred for years. This is because Bill is smarter and has self respect.

Stealing from X for clout, but someone bought a staggering 25% of the entire open interest of a semiconductor ETF (which is 20% NVDA) in a single OTM put option yesterday and today. $3.7 billion of underlying stock, 8ish delta, $23 mil of premium, so levered 15:1 betting on the NVDA embargo news.

It's insane how congestion pricing in NYC has been just about the most unambiguously successful new policy implemented in my lifetime and still all the dumbest people in government want to get rid of it

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

The Trump administration claimed she was tied to a violent gang, but would not provide any details on her alleged crime. She had an asylum hearing coming up, so if they had real evidence very easy to present it before a judge.

softbank is the corporate version of that guy you see at a craps table at 4:30 AM in Vegas. His eyes are puffy and red. his hands can't stop shaking. every 30 minutes or so he has to hop on his phone to find another short term lender to send him $1000 at just 57% APR

Yes--Germany invented the modern university. In the 1930s its universities were the best in the world until the Nazis destroyed them. German universities have never recovered their preeminence. We risk repeating this history here in the US.

Most money for US aid to Ukraine went to US manufacturers. It is literally American industry, and part of the funding was for expanding US industrial capacity. It's next level lying. Lies wrapped in lies, stacked in a pile of BS. Reality inverting lies. Piss-on-my-leg-and-tell-me-it's-raining lying.

Worth pointing out that Tesla’s charging network is surely their most valuable asset. Anything that hobbles other charging standards is a boon to Musk even if it appears “anti EV”
