COMPLICITY NAVIGATOR

Come to think of it, that's how they treated US citizens in the US, too.

Too true. Even worse.

Just one example.

Nickel and diming Americans, asking them to go without healthcare because it's wasteful

And

Pouring billions into an unnecessary and unjustified war.

Not the main point, but incredibly important:

We have finite resources. We can only spend so much on military assets, and we can only make weapons so quickly.

When we squander our capability on a needless war of choice, we weaken our capability to support the fights that matter, like Ukraine.

Foolish wars generate tortured and inventive language as people to justify them.

Sen. Graham's answer to whether we are at war is that we are in an "undeclared state of war."

A nation that defines imminent this expansively becomes, under this definition, an imminent threat to every other.

Nations of the world have to look at what happened in Iran, what happened in Venezuela, what was threatened in Greenland, what's rumored in Cuba, and realize that they could be next.

There will be so much of this, and then the third-order effects, and then the fourth.

It is not possible to attack a nation as consequential as Iran and decapitate its leadership structure without setting off a chain of effects that is grave and unpredictable.

The lesson is never learned.

A Fond Farewell:

Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, 2025-26

True, but it's hard to believe they were doing them much good anyway...

If Kennedy's goal was to get her fired, this was brilliant.

Kennedy waved the red flag in front of Trump, saying that if he lets her stay then he's a sucker AND she's getting name recognition instead of him.

The most valuable skill in DC now is how to flatter and manipulate Trump. Master class.

A deeply important question, and one of the many reasons we need hearings NOW.

This will not come from a press conference. It likely won't come from the companies themselves, in part because they may not actually know.

We need the relevant people answering questions under oath and on camera.

There are currently 2,200 No Kings Day events planned in all 50 states, DC, and a dozen countries.

Election denialism is all over the administration.

It's not just the buffoons we see in the news every day.

So you have to ask: if they can't get to the rational, evidence-based answer on that, where can they?

The timeline the administration is giving (when it gives one) is wildly unrealistic. We're back in "greeted as liberators" delusion.

When other capitals in the region are being struck, this war is just getting started. Whenever Trump decides he's done, the war won't be.

💯

It wasn't the hearings that knocked her out. They were the representation of the anger the public had already demonstrated.

But: wondering if she would have survived if she'd come in aggressive like Bondi.

Always creepy. Scarier when there's malicious intent on the part of the government.

Connecting dots with recent stories:
- DHS getting user data from Meta, Google, others
- DOD insisting on using AI for domestic surveillance

Domestic surveillance needs to be a bigger story.

Crypto is an enormous area of corruption innovation for the administration.

Making money through lax regulation + allowing others to purchase Trump crypto in exchange for favors.

This pay-for-pardon scheme is just the one we know about because it was in the open... there's no transparency.

“I still don’t fully think it’s real. I wish I got to tell him I love him one more time.”

Just sharing a couple of receipts.

No company is innocent and above reproach. But some go out of their way to sell out and win.

They can try, but OpenAI has been developing their crony-capitalist relationship with the administration for the past year.

- Giving Trump credit for multibillion dollar project that was already underway
- Public flattery
- $25M contribution to Trump's PAC

Anthropic hasn't paid up, so...

- Yes on approving Iran war
- Yes on DHS appropriations
- Yes on breaking shutdown and allowing healthcare cuts
- Yes on Iran attacks (in June)
- Yes on breaking filibuster last March to allow Trump to get his budget
- Yes on Laken Riley Act

Over and over again.

Good news: she didn't!

Agreed that a positive vision is necessary. And we're never going to get one.

But -

Is this even a negative strategy? All the things they're saying it isn't, it's eventually going to have to be.

This is no strategy + negative (what it isn't) talking points

It's disgusting.

If you're wondering whether a) it's going to get regulated and b) insider trading is happening...

(Yes, he's connected to both of them)

This is why abolish ICE (and maybe other actions at other parts of DHS) has become the moderate position. It's not about whether the agency's work is necessary.

It's about whether it can ever rebuild trust, or whether Americans for a generation or more will only remember its moral bankruptcy.

There is no possible threat from immigrant communities that justifies this buildout of mass surveillance of Americans.

Undocumented immigrants are the unsympathetic (to some Americans) entry point. But it's plain that the intimidation and violence will not stop with them.

When anyone says mainstream media has a left bias, think about how NYT is bending over backwards to be unbiased in this headline.

A war launched without planning or preparation in a volatile and complex region with ripple effects throughout the world "may be costly."

Thanks for the news analysis.

Talking to the parents of a killed young man is not the time to split hairs with words.

The correct answer was easy for anyone with humanity.

Endless is right. It is a national disgrace.
