In the darkest times hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.

Donald Trump is still illegally withholding the full release of the Epstein files.

This ongoing cover-up is a disgrace to the victims.

The pedophile protection party needs to release the Epstein files now.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

TUCKER: “How much does it matter what Americans think?”

HUCKABEE: “It matters every bit.”

TUCKER: “80% oppose war with Iran.”

HUCKABEE: “We don’t live in a world where polls dictate policy.”

TUCKER: “Oh, I thought you said it matters what Americans think.”

We are willing to welcome Smotrich on to our streets, even as the ICC seeks an arrest warrant, but the UK bans Cenk and Hasan Piker?

According to Trump supporters George Soros’ money moves mountains but the idea that Miriam Adleson’s does too is an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

[Tyler Stumpy Beck @StumpyTyler]

They are doing this intentionally.

Most Moral Child Bombing In The World:

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

My dad retired at 59

I will not

He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.

He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.

At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.

Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.

Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.

Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.

Just passed the potatoes.

Make it make sense

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.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards.

It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions.

It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:

Dave Chappelle: "They said "But Saudi Arabia killed a journalist."

"I mean, Israel's killed 240 journalists... I didn't know y'all were still counting."

Over My Head by The Fray

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

It’s really something how billionaires have rigged the rules to let them vacuum up all of society’s wealth & then fund think tanks and buy media properties that blame poverty and homelessness and despair on literally everything other than billionaires vacuuming up all the wealth

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Tim Dillon on Thomas Massie’s loss: “I don’t know how you run a country where people can just dump $32 million into a race.”

“This guy who’s like, release the Epstein files.”

“Prosecute pedophiles.”

“Get out of foreign wars.”

“He loses to a guy who’s like: let’s cover up the Epstein files.”

“Let’s not prosecute pedophiles.”

“Let’s go to war with your kids.”

“You would think just platform to platform, that’s a tough sell.”

“If you spend enough money, you can just create any reality you want.”

“No one knows who the hell the other guy is.”

“He was just handpicked, came out of nowhere … was like, ‘we gotta get kids back into the military, we gotta get them to Iran now.’”

“You would think that’s probably not a super popular idea.”

“Let’s get your son out of the house and into Iran.”

“You would think that as ideas go, that’s probably a relatively hard sell.”

Israel is holding up the U.S. peace agreement with Iran so that they can do more of this in Lebanon, because apparently this is not enough

If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder.

They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Trump, with one rash decision, egged on by Netanyahu, has severely diminished American power abroad, dealt a blow to Israel, and dramatically ramped up the clean energy transition.

China and Iran emerge empowered and Trump’s own approval rating is in the low 30s.

Now the same people who urged him to get into this mess are urging him to keep it going.

This man robbed a bank for $1, sat down and waited for the police, just to get free healthcare in prison

In 2011 a man named Richard James Verone walked into a RBC Bank in Gastonia, North Carolina

Handed the teller a note demanding $1

One dollar

Then sat down in the lobby and waited calmly for police to arrive

He was 59. No job. No insurance. A growth on his chest. Two ruptured discs.

Calculated that a federal conviction would guarantee him full medical coverage inside prison

The judge sentenced him to 3 years

He got the surgery

He got the treatment

He told reporters on the way out he had no regrets

A 59 year old American man robbed a bank for $1 because it was cheaper than seeing a doctor

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold."

So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house?

I didn't sell it.
I didn't cash out.
I didn't make a profit.

But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year.

Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.
