The ballroom. The White House released its donor list Oct. 23, 2025: Lockheed, Palantir, Amazon, Google, Coinbase, Ripple, and more. Public Citizen found 14 of 27 corporate donors received $50 billion in new or increased federal contracts within six months. No one has said what it cost them.

Prior presidents. Carter put his peanut farm in a blind trust. Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, and Obama used blind trusts or sold their holdings. The Clintons and Obamas got rich afterward, from books and speeches. None of them ran a business that sold access while in office.

I think we all knew Watson’s “Rosie didn’t realize [because she was a woman and so obviously inferior to my genius]” schtick was bullshit. What’s boggling to me here is the implication that no one since ever looked at the rest of her notes. 🧪

If you are dumb enough to vote Republican because you think Donald Trump is going to give you $5000 you were already dumb enough to vote Republican.

The extent to which the rule "you are not allowed to insult the other side's voters" is applied exclusively to the left never ceases to infuriate me. "Basket of deplorables" and "cling to guns or religion" were WEEKS-long news cycles. There were panels. There was theme music and a logo.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

When we moved flats, had a big glass desk, only good for “your living room is also your study and you want a stylish desk”. Needed the hinges taking off the door to go. 3 flights of steps. Too big for lift. Tried giving it away free. Nothing but crazies and idiots. £10. Went immediately.

AI is an employee who never says no, never talks back, and who has no emotions, so you're free to be an asshole to it without consequence. Certain men have been fantasizing about this for their whole lives. They will happily burn the world down to create it.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.
