I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

If a Somali commits a crime in Minnesota he’s Somali but if he saves 20 kids on a runaway school bus he’s a Minnesota Man

A woman got punched in the face at a Trump rally for wearing a release the Epstein files shirt. A man showed up to an Abdul El-Sayed event, called him a terrorist, and got a calm, respectful response about upholding the Constitution. Corporate media defended the guy who showed up to disrupt. This is the contrast we're living in right now.

Here’s the thing: Vivek is not an outlier. He’s not an accident. He’s the embodiment of the right wing agenda, their brand of politics come to life.
Of course he’s cruel. Of course he’s craven. Of course he’s an unrepentant asshole. That’s their entire brand.

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

Since Vivek Ramaswamy wants to talk mothers.
He and his mother promoted a drug they said helped treat Alzheimer’s when both of them knew the drug had failed clinical trials.
Weeks before another failed clinical trial cratered the stock price, Vivek Ramaswamy cashed out.

🚨 OUTRAGE: Mississippi Attorney General LYNN FITCH rules police officer JUSTIFIED in shooting and killing a 1-YEAR-OLD BLACK BOY during a Walmart shoplifting investigation.
📍 Senatobia, Mississippi
Kohen Wiley was in his mother’s arms when Sgt. Hunter Foster fired into their vehicle.
Police claim the driver headed toward officers. Kohen’s mother disputes that account, and the family’s attorney says a preliminary independent autopsy indicates the fatal shot came from the SIDE of the vehicle.
NEITHER WOMAN WAS CHARGED WITH SHOPLIFTING OR ANY OTHER CRIME.
A 1-YEAR-OLD BABY IS DEAD. THE OFFICER HAS BEEN CLEARED. THE SHOOTING FOOTAGE STILL HASN’T BEEN RELEASED.
RELEASE THE FOOTAGE.

“What the video doesn’t mention: Acton’s mother, Donna Arthur, married a man, Cledith “Bud” Arthur, who sexually abused Acton from the ages of 9 to 12. She then abandoned her daughter and son to live as a fugitive with her husband.”
In a statement to HuffPost, Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign doesn't distance itself from that Amy Acton ad and instead wholeheartedly endorses it -- suggesting they could be responsible for creating it.

Great update from WSJ: Sounds like SpaceX did the technical throttling. And Musk discussed it with admin beforehand

It’s astonishing that Ramaswamy thinks trotting out Amy Acton’s mother—who hasn’t spoken to her daughter in 48 YEARS—as a character witness is a good idea.
This is the woman who stayed married to the man charged with raping her 12-year-old daughter. Even after her children were removed from her custody.
.@VivekGRamaswamy campaign responds:
ALT Attributable to Connie Luck, spokesperson for the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign: “We don't know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. Arthur stayed married to him until his death. Acton and her brother have been estranged since. Multiple outlets cite 1978 court records of the charges.

The No Kings movement is being censored from social media. Pages are taken down, tweets are deleted, users banned. MILLIONS of us were in the streets yesterday, yet there's almost no mention of it online. There's a media blackout. The oligarchs have conspired to suppress us.
The scale of New York City's response to the nationwide No Kings mobilization against the Trump administration is nothing short of staggering. Powerful! ✊

The video shows FOX aerial coverage of large "No Kings" protests in NYC from October 18, 2025, not the smaller October 17, 2026 voter-focused events.

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

I have to send in diapers and wipes to school for my 8-year-old with Down Syndrome because they don't provide them, yet MAGA thinks schools perform 50k gender reassignment surgeries?

Alex Gibney: “There was an estimate that what [Elon Musk] did by suddenly cutting USAID would cost through disease and starvation as many as 14M lives. Even if you discount that, we know within a year of those cuts where they were literally burning food going to starving children, 500K children died. This is really a crime against humanity, but he makes a joke about it, I put USAID into the woodchipper. What he put into the woodchipper were children”
