🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/

I'm here to celebrate absurdity. My dog is Antifa. A bit of sarcasm goes a long way.
Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...
What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?
Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

Forward EPS used to be very predictable because most of big Tech used to have tons of cash to buy back their stock. But their free cash flows are now really low or even negative so we’re not going to have that anymore. We are reliant on excellent earnings with no room for error going forward. 
Trump and Musk promised to shrink the deficit. Instead, it's projected to grow — to $2.5 trillion a year within a decade (in today's dollars). That's a heavier burden for taxpayers, and it pushes up interest rates on credit cards, mortgages and beyond. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart
They’re putting AI data centers in the ocean next. Panthalassa, a startup from Portland, just raised $140 MILLION in a round led by Peter Thiel.
‘Hyperscaler investment, negligible through 2022, is now tracking toward $1.5T annually by 2030. At that level, it will surpass, in real terms, the residential construction boom of 2005-06, the 1990s fiber build peak year, and the 1882 railroad peak combined.‘ paulkedrosky.com/ai-set-to-be...
This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.
He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.
Kaine to Rubio: "By not sharing the [Iran] legal opinion with the Article 1 oversight branch, you give us the opinion there's something you don't want us to see. Could you use your influence as the president's chief national security adviser & secretary of state to share the opinion with Congress?"
BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
Howard Lutnick made this donation on April 1—four weeks after his Epstein testimony was on the books, but just a day after the quarterly filing deadline, ensuring the donation wouldn’t be disclosed before his testimony. (House GOP also said nothing about it fwiw) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 3mo agoBREAKING: Thomas Massie Loses Primary in Big Win for Trump and AIPAC
Honestly I was surprised it took 15 months for this to come out publicly.
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 3mo agoPer Financial Times, while in Beijing, Trump proposed to Xi the idea that US, China and Russia should co-operate against the International Criminal Court.
Over on Xitter, @harryjsisson.bsky.social (who seems not to post here anymore) catalogued one part of Trump's batshit meltdown overnight. Note how many of them focus on Trump's 2016 conspiracies, which are probably responses to Brennan and Comey appearing on MSNOW.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

Below, Trump does a different kind of weave. Yesterday evening, at Ocala International Airport in Florida, Trump very gingerly stepped off Marine One and, looking half-asleep, walked unsteadily and in a listless way toward Air Force One. This man is not well. The White House is lying to us.
