[ThePatrioticBlonde™🇺🇸 @ImBreckWorsham]

The Republicans had everything in 2025 and 2026.

Everything.

The House.

The Senate.

The Presidency.

They did absolutely NOTHING with it to benefit the American people.

If that doesn't prove to you the existence of the uniparty, nothing ever will.

🚨🚨Just in case you missed it. Here is Benjamin Netanyahu in his own words, thanking Congress for implementing “his plan” to take over the US military and intelligence services..🚨🚨

Trump: "I didn't guarantee no war."

Trump guaranteeing no more wars:

Leftist cities that have been governed by failed ideologies and plagued with crime, homelessness, decay and administrative incompetence need to change course.

That won’t happen, though, if the only other option is a candidate more ideologically left and even less administratively competent.

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”

Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.

I love how “no political experience” is the defense for returning power to people who have nothing but political experience and a long track record of destroying everything they govern.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Jewish groups are now boasting more explicitly than ever that they will use Jewish wealth to destroy any US politician who refuses to "stand with" Israel: as they did to Massie.

But if you observe the same exact thing in order to criticize it, you're instantly branded a bigot.

[Chris Menahan 🇺🇸 @infolibnews]

Ben Shapiro says the Israel Lobby isn't going after Thomas Massie because of his opposition to Israel.

AIPAC and the RJC have both explicitly said that they're going after Massie because of his opposition to Israel—but Ben just lies to his audience and treats them like fools.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Is it incompetence or is it intentional?

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Shawn Ryan on Trump: “I just don’t see any positivity coming out of this administration. It seems very self-serving. He had Todd Blanche do the dirty work so him or anybody in his family could never be audited by the IRS? What the fuck is that shit? The drone company, the $400M jet from Qatar, the Executives Club. Does this shit look like he’s serving the fucking people? No.”

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.

Anthropic just turned the Pope into a legal weapon against the Pentagon.

Yesterday Pope Leo XIV published a 245-paragraph document demanding that AI companies be "disarmed" and that autonomous weapons be permanently banned.

He compared Silicon Valley's unchecked ambition to the Tower of Babel and called the exploitation behind AI development "new forms of slavery."

Everyone posted about it but nobody noticed WHO was sitting next to him:

Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, was seated in a row of cardinals at the Vatican to personally present this document alongside the Pope. A 33yo atheist tech billionaire standing next to the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics telling the world that AI weapons must be stopped.

This matters because of what's happening in a courtroom right now:

Anthropic has been locked in a legal war with the Trump administration since February. The Pentagon blacklisted them as a "supply chain risk to national security" after Anthropic refused to let the military use their AI for two things: Fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens.

That designation is usually reserved for companies linked to foreign adversaries like China and Russia. But they used it on an American company because that company said no.

The Trump administration called Anthropic "liberal-leaning" and accused them of trying to dictate military policy.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth personally signed the blacklist order and Trump directed every federal agency to stop using Anthropic's technology.

Over 100 enterprise customers called Anthropic asking if they were safe to work with.

The company estimates the government's actions could cost them multiple billions in lost 2026 revenue.

Anthropic obviously sued. Two separate lawsuits in two courts.

A San Francisco judge ruled in their favor and blocked the supply chain designation but the DC appeals court ruled against them. The two courts are in direct contradiction right now.

And a few days ago, the DC appeals court heard oral arguments in the case. Judges were visibly divided.

On May 25, the Pope published a document that validates Anthropic's exact legal position on autonomous weapons. Word for word.

The Pope wrote: "It is not permissible to entrust lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions to artificial systems." That is essentially the SAME sentence Anthropic put in their Pentagon contract that started this entire fight.

And Anthropic's co-founder also spoke at the Vatican event:

He told the audience "every frontier AI lab operates inside incentives that can sometimes conflict with doing the right thing" and called for "moral voices that the incentives cannot bend."

A co-founder of an AI company publicly admitted at the Vatican that AI companies CANNOT be trusted to regulate themselves...

This is literally a legal strategy by Anthropic.

Anthropic now has the most powerful moral authority on the planet publicly endorsing the exact ethical position that the Pentagon punished them for. Every judge reviewing this case watched the Pope validate the two red lines Anthropic drew.

The Pope's encyclical will almost certainly be cited in court filings.

The Pentagon's argument is that a private company cannot dictate how the government uses AI in matters of national security. Anthropic's argument is that certain uses of AI are fundamentally unethical regardless of who's deploying them.

Yesterday the Pope told 1.4 billion people that Anthropic is right.

The appeals court could rule any day now. If Anthropic wins, every AI company in the world gets legal precedent to refuse military contracts on ethical grounds.

If they lose, the message to Silicon Valley is clear: Build what the government tells you to build or get destroyed.

Either way, the company Trump tried to crush literally just turned the Vatican into their ally.

What do you think?

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

President Trump was convicted of fraud, and has pardoned over 70 people convicted of fraud.

THIS IS INSANE

🇺🇸 Out of 45 U.S. presidents in history, President Trump is now solely responsible for 27.7% of the national debt.

Smartphones are not good for children. Banning them in the classroom was the right thing to do, which we did years ago when it was much more controversial to do so.

Trump endorses Bryon but literally describes Collins, we live in a clown world.

Are we getting this yet.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

Anyone who says they are going to Congress to fight for the citizens of another country should be immediately disqualified from ever holding public office in America.

This is just batshit insane.
