Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

major shoutout to the ASL interpreter who had to deal with this slide in my SXSW talk

The only lawmaker able to effectively counter AG Pam Bondi's bratty tirade during the Epstein files testimony on the Hill yesterday was her fellow Republican Thomas Massie who hit her with cold hard facts. The Democrats tried to pull MSNow-friendly stunts that gave Bondi the WWE theater she wanted.

This is who Trump's fascist thugs murdered today. His name was Alex Pretti and he was a VA nurse, American born, and had no criminal history. If they will lie about murdering him, then they will lie about murdering you next.

Yeah... I absolutely believe that Steve Witkoff behind closed doors told Putin that Trump would be taking Venezuela as a new resource colony of America. Trump gets Venezuela's natural resources. Putin gets Ukraine's natural resources. That's the deal.

Trump was told he can make a lot of money by taking Venezuela’s oil and all of a sudden everyone in MAGA is pro-war now.

This.

I think we can all agree this Russian robot failure was the funniest video of the week.

At this moment, on July 20, 1969, people around the world held their breaths, waiting to hear the words "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed" as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history and became the first humans to land on another celestial body, the moon.

Going to the tropes file while desperately trying to change the conversation.

Bottom line: ✔️ Trump’s team didn’t just passively receive hacked info—they celebrated it and repeatedly signaled they'd do it again. ✔️ These are direct quotes backed by publicly accessible transcripts and reputable news coverage—no guesswork.

June 2019 ABC interview: Trump said he “might take” foreign‑sourced dirt in 2020 and downplayed reporting it to the FBI. ABC News reporting: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Trump at a 2016 rally: “WikiLeaks – I LOVE WikiLeaks… you gotta read it.” He frequently cited stolen DNC/DCCC emails himself. www.latimes.com/politics/la-...

“Hope Hicks testified the Trump campaign ‘welcomed’ Russia’s hack and felt ‘relief’ when WikiLeaks released Clinton emails—as ‘publicly available information.’” nadler.house.gov/news/documen...

Will politicians ever learn that we keep all the tapes? youtu.be/IktCGRL-mCw?...

MAGA hates anyone in government who cares about and works to help other people. America has not inflicted this much harm on itself since the Civil War. We are a collapsing super power and we are doing it to ourselves.

Jeffrey Epstein died in his jail cell in 2019. The prison tapes have been shown to be edited. Trump was in control of the FBI and the Justice Department in 2019. Trump had the power to have Jeffrey Epstein silenced in 2019. Nobody else.

I have never seen a US President that was so weak and so scared about taking military action that he needed his yes-man entourage to keep him company at the podium in the Cross Hall.

This MAGA civil war is going to drag on for months and Trump will lose if he doesn’t fold now and give Elon everything he wants.

. . . or the White House.

This would be a huge story with wall-to-wall coverage in any other era.

When Neville Chamberlain was appeasing Hitler, Hitler wasn’t yet Hitler. The Holocaust hadn’t happened, nor had his worst atrocities. Appeasement enabled those horrors. Bill Maher and Larry David’s recent debate about normalizing Trump is a reminder: never underestimate what appeasement allows.

"We know every other plane. I've seen every one of them, and it's not even close. You know level 5 is good. This is level 6. Unprecedented power. Maneuverability likewise. There's never been anything like it despite the power. It's speed is top; over 2." - President Donald J Trump on the NGAD
