Pulte shows up to his Acting DNI job a day early, surprising outgoing DNI. Wants to fire 100s. Also asks if he has TS clearance, for a security detail, for the PDB at his house, and -- repeatedly -- if he has access to a gov't plane so he can travel between his homes. www.cnn.com/2026/06/19/p...

Karp is wrong because most recent job creation has been in healthcare. AI can’t replace nurses and PAs, most of whom are women. www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

Women are getting most of the new jobs. What's going on with men?

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "I got in trouble for mentioning that 37% of our GDP is female. 50% of Americans -- 52% roughly -- are female. There's a dislocation there. 67% of people who have gone into graduate school are female. These parts of the market are gonna be put under massive pressure."
