Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

A friend of mine recently said: “People will never know the level of trauma we have from being a fed at this moment in history.” 😢 Check in with your friends and colleagues who are federal workers. Let them know you appreciate them and the work they do. 🫶 Good night 🌙

If the MQ-9's are going to be treated like they're expendable perhaps we should find some drones that are a bit less expensive. Add in the losses in Yemen and you're looking at around a billion dollars in losses.

Today in #detectingdeception is poisoning the well. This is when you try to get a piece of forthcoming information to be disregarded by discrediting the source in advance. Example: The people who might say something about me are just doing it for political reasons or so they can profit.

At least 30 people were killed in a single attack on the village of Bafwakoa in Ituri province, DRC this week, the latest in a sustained wave of violence that has claimed more than 100 civilian lives and left nearly 390 people abducted across the province since mid-March alone.

The suspension of US funding for post-exposure prophylaxis kits in eastern DRC has compounded the immediate medical consequences of the mass rapes taking place. PEP kits provide rape survivors with the ability to prevent HIV transmission in the critical window after an assault.

Lebanon has a population half that of London. The Israelis have caused *8,000 casualties* in Lebanon since the start of last month. 20%+ of civilians have had to flee their homes. The IDF is doing al Qaeda-style follow-up strikes that are killing and maiming first responders.

Q: You said Trump 'chose mercy.' But you yourself said 'we will give no quarter to Iranian troops.' Do you think your comments may have put Americans at risk? HEGSETH: No. I try to be nice up here, but you did listen to what I said, right? Typical ABC. It was an indictment framed as a question.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

'An MIT Media Lab study titled “Your Brain on ChatGPT” found that LLM users “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” The tech oligarchs have somehow managed to enshittify thinking.'

The brain is a muscle and needs resistance to not only learn and grow but also maintain. I'll think what we'll start seeing is cognitive decline similar to Alzheimer's and dementia. We're hurtling towards an idiocratic future at an astonishing rate and it will be too late to turn around soon.

Judge James Boasberg said the government had offered neither new evidence nor identified any material error in his original ruling, which found the subpoenas were issued to pressure Powell to cut interest rates or resign rather than to pursue a legitimate criminal investigation.
