“.. With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.” @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

The hyperscalers who spent decades building up clean energy supplies are going on on polluting because the US government is - I was going to say signalling but it’s outright saying this is what it wants. This is a STRUCTURAL problem not a tech problem as such (though I did hope for spine)

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Errol Musk made money from a Zambian emerald mine in the 1980s. Peter Thiel, Max Levchin & Luke Nosek created PayPal in 1998. Martin Eberhard & Marc Tarpenning created Tesla in 2003. Jack Dorsey created Twitter in 2006. Elon Musk can’t even answer questions in an interview.

They were like high-school students trying to hack into the textbook company to cheat on their final exam. Only these hackers weren’t human.

Republicans are taking a fake stock trading ban and using it to sneak through the worst parts of the unpopular SAVE Act that attacks the freedom to vote. It’s political theater, and should not be taken seriously. Don’t fall for it.

“Trump’s War has cost $113 billion and counting. Trump’s War has resulted in a collapse of U.S. credibility in the region and beyond. Trump’s War led to Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz. And gas prices have gone from about $3 to $4 a gallon today.” www.thebulwark.com/p/spain-wins...

Remember when “God” was added to the Pledge and our money back in the 1950s because Republicans were calling everything communism? Yeah, they’re still at it. New rule: if you can’t define communism, you can’t use the word.

Jesus, three dissenting votes on birthright just might be the most insane part of this court's entire awful term.

The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

This bill is the most common sense thing ever, so I’m not surprised every Republican voted no.

VC Bros Claimed They Backed Trump To Protect AI. Trump Is Shutting Down AI. It Was Always About Access & Power Back in July of 2024, when two of the… https://www.techdirt.com/2026/06/29/vc-bros-claimed-they-backed-trump-to-protect-ai-trump-is-shutting-down-ai-it-was-always-about-access-power/

Stop believing VC bros who claimed they had to back Trump for the good of tech innovation. It was always bullshit. They just wanted access to power, as proven by them still supporting Trump after he has been way worse on tech policy than Biden.

Donald Trump isn't taking the RNC's defeat in the Supreme Court very well. I agree it was a "tremendous loss" for him and the GOP. I am always happy to oblige in delivering him court defeats.😂 Thankfully, it was a great victory for voters and free and fair elections!

"Everyone will be affected, not just scientists. Every community in the country.“ A sneaky rule change has the potential to blow up scientific research in the United States. But there’s still time to fight it. Read more from @beebrookshire.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/science/9576...

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

Trump literally drove a presidential motorcade through the reflecting pool while it was still being refurbished & before the new liner even dried properly. if you drift a bunch of armored SUVs around inside of a dry pool, it damages the liner. it isn’t difficult to figure out what happened.

NEW: Insane screwup inside Meta. The company exposed worker keystroke data that was being used to train AI — making it potentially accessible to anyone at the company. The data included personnel and performance info, private convos, full transcriptions…imagine your coworkers seeing all of that.

Difficult to think of a better example of Silicon Valley billionaire group chat brainrot than someone thinking the best way to combat the billionaire wealth tax would be to... buy up the company collecting signatures for the ballot measure. via @sfstandard.com sfstandard.com/2026/06/13/b...

"I love the inflation"

WHITESIDES: The truth is the cheapest form of energy on a per unit basis is daytime solar. Is that not true? CHRIS WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No it doesn't depend! It's true. You are amazingly misleading the American public. WRIGHT: It depends-- WHITESIDES: No!

If any other president had said "I"m going to destroy demand for liquid fossil fuels by permanently increasing their cost; wipe out America's cattle herds; spur the biggest wave of investment in renewables in history through energy insecurity" Congress would shut them down. Not this one!
