Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's been open to deporting Melania Trump and Elon Musk if it turns out they lied on their paperwork

That's what happens when close to 100 million people refuse to participate in democracy and stay home on Election Day. Don't do that shit on November 3rd.

Anthropic also warns that a catastrophic AI incident could cause losses exceeding what its insurers are willing or able to cover. If those losses also exceed Anthropic’s ability to pay, the remaining costs would fall on its victims and society. That’s a wild risk to acknowledge in an IPO filing.

Anthropic’s IPO filing reveals that H1 revenue grew 14x year over year to $16.3B while operating losses fell 67% to $693M. Even more remarkably, Anthropic earned $974M in operating profit in Q2. Despite the headlines about its $80B net loss, Anthropic is close to profitability.

🤣🤣🤣

Bill Maher had lunch with Donald Trump again. It’s beyond belief that someone would so willingly sit down for a meal with such a reprehensible piece of shit. But I’m sure Trump had his reasons.

Agree!!!

I was wildly unprepared and deeply pleased by every moment of this video. 😂

One way I gauge whether an issue is breaking through is if regular people back home in Nebraska start asking me about it. Multiple people who don’t follow politics at all have asked me about Vivek’s ad against Amy Acton. This is a real problem for Republicans in a way they don’t understand yet.

🤣💯🤣💯🤣

This is so damaging to America that I cannot fully put into words how ashamed I am of my country at this moment. 

If Trump’s approval continues to decline at a linear rate, you’d basically exhaust independents around -30% (spring 2027) and beyond that the decline would be entirely among Republicans. We should know by say Easter-Memorial Day 2027.

Absolutely 💯 Agree…..

I believe that there must be rules of the road for platform owners that protect the interests of democracy and free speech. It’s time to regulate social media like we regulate utilities, because social media platforms are now part of critical infrastructure. Plain and simple.

Elon Musk fucked himself out of a future in the European marketplace.

Do Y'all Qaeda see how stupid this sounds? Doubtful.🙄

A lot of Democrats have been suspiciously quiet about the raid on Ilhan Omar’s home, which is why I’m so glad President Obama is speaking out. We cannot ignore this stuff.

Now…hear me out on this: Jon Ossoff for Senate Majority Leader. Think on it. We need someone to go out on the world stage and start repairing relationships. I think he could do that.

Time for an era of tech trust-busting?

Watching a lot of the ads Democrats are running in these battleground races, and you can see an edge from our campaigns I don't think Republicans were prepared for. Dem ad makers are not fucking around right now. Blood in the water.

“We’re almost dead in the water because our workforce is gone,” said Scott Brannock of Jacksonville-based Tidewater Homes and the Northeast Florida Builders Association. “We have national builders who are missing projections … because they have slabs sitting on the ground and no one to frame.”

Because it’s Trump reporting this, who knows if any of it’s true. But if Bill Maher had dinner with Trump this week, my first thought is “fuck Bill Maher.” www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
