I think there should be a museum of shame, that shows every atrocity, broken law, corruption and treasonous act. It should be a cautionary tale to anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps.

A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

According to leaks, Anthropic reported a $42B net loss in 2025. This was revealed as Anthropic is preparing a massive IPO and even bigger investments in AI infrastructure. How worried should we be about the AI bubble bursting?

The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created… Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal even more money from the American people. Trump. Is. A. Charlatan. And. A. Fraud. 😎✨

“What is an American?” the question Eric Schmitt posed at the fifth annual National Conservatism Conference. His answer is that the nation is fundamentally not based on the idea of equality or freedom or any other ideal. It is fundamentally, he told the assembled crowd, a white homeland.

In addition to having 16 of the wealthiest billionaires in America pouring money into Republican PACs to buy the midterms, Democrats now have to deal with media companies accepting stolen taxpayer money to run illegal government ads for Republicans.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

It's one thing to be so incredibly incompetent as Eric Schmitt that your dramatic "GOTCHA" moment falls apart in real time. It is quite another thing to be so incredibly dishonest as Eric Schmitt that you then go on a right-wing show and pretend it didn't happen. "My job is to ask the questions."😜
