Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE
Palantir funnels earnings to US to avoid European taxes, report finds
A new study finds that Palantir, which boasts of high profit margins in the U.S., barely scrapes a margin in Europe, which helps slash its tax bill.

Talarico: "Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels."
One month ago I discovered that after 40 years, I am no longer allergic to shrimp.🍤 Since then it has been a veritable neverending shrimpfest. I am basically a 🦩 now.
In China, robots which are also solar panels, clean the other solar panels. Original post
E-bikes give people affordable, clean transportation. If kids are getting hit by pickup trucks, the answer isn’t to treat e-bikes like the problem; it’s protected bike lanes, safer crossings, lower traffic speeds, and infrastructure that keeps everyone separated from multi-ton vehicles.
This is who the Repub led Senate wants to confirm as the US AG in the next couple days. It’s not about following laws—it’s about controlling women and girls with no regard to health outcomes. WE ARE NOT OUTRAGED ENOUGH! We need to flip 4 Senate seats. Please help get out the VOTE in NOV!
. Crumbs Every single Dem voter better get out on Nov 3rd, or else 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Especially the 34% who never bothered to vote, thereby handing the election to Trump et al I suspect Latinos for Trump are not gonna support him again this time Not sure about Blacks for Trump tho, hope not .
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
Quite an upset in the #KSGov Dem primary. State Sen. Cindy Holscher, who came out against data centers and the Kansas City Chiefs stadium deal, has defeated state Sen. Ethan Corson, who had a big financial edge and an endorsement from term-limited Gov. Laura Kelly.
Eric Trump has spent four years insisting Capital One owed his family an explanation. He finally got one. It's not going great. 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...
Twelve Days Before Trump’s Bank Cut Him Off, Somebody Wrote A Memo
Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
And more damage to US monuments. He should pay for the structural damage of all these vanity projects, and then be assessed damages to American history.
El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
If he wins person of the year Trump is going to lose what little is left 💯🎯
This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.
Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”
Physical abuse is horrific. But emotional abuse gets too little attention. And adult who takes their 2-year-old's bunny, which she uses for self-soothing, is rabidly spiteful.
RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."
INCREDIBLY well deserved for Vermonts captain. Came in last year in the push for the championship and absolutely held it down next to Moussa. His insane passing numbers, 86% accuracy including plenty of long balls over 981 min, capped a great second season for the Green.
