@desilva_frank @MichaelTLester They are against science because it exposes administrative corruption and collusion with industries that pollute and externalize the costs of their environmental destruction onto society and future generations.

@EliseSalomon @OrevaZSN Indeed, privatize any public profits and socialize all costs is the framework of corruption and catastrophic capitalism.

@tomhbatty @TheRealThelmaJ1 Game plan = keep the US populace sick, dumb, and poor - use fear for control - claim power without regard to laws - keep societal benefits rolling up to tech-oligarchy class while claiming both savior and victim status via misinformation.

@RayReedMO Thank you for fighting for our representation. Our state is already gerrymandered with “DEI for Rural Land” so to speak. Only Dems are fighting for equal representation.

@SenEricSchmitt What’s sad for the state of Missouri- we know who YOU are. The path you’ve taken is not the “show me state” and is unpatriotic. Missouri suffers and lags.

@riccoker @SenWarren No. The terms were changed and that’s why borrowers are caught up in court cases they never wanted or deserved. Trump admin’s "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, brings about *significant changes to the terms* of federal education loans.

🚨 BREAKING: Silicon Valley Execs Sworn In as U.S. Army Lt. Colonels—WTF Is Going On?

In what feels like the plot twist of a dystopian sci-fi film, the U.S. Army just swore in four Big Tech executives as lieutenant colonels—yes, you read that right: lieutenant colonels—despite zero traditional military training, and bypassing 16 ranks of career soldiers.

June 13, 2025, marked the formation of Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps, where executives from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI were handed shiny new uniforms and one of the highest officer ranks in the Army Reserve. The appointees:

* Shyam Sankar – CTO, Palantir
* Andrew Bosworth – CTO, Meta
* Kevin Weil – CPO, OpenAI
* Bob McGrew – Former Chief Research Officer, OpenAI

These guys now outrank thousands of veterans who've spent decades earning their status through blood, sweat, and battlefield deployments.

Let’s be clear: no Army fitness test, no officer school, no boot camp. Instead, they got a “crash course” in uniform etiquette and basic marksmanship—boot camp-lite—before being handed the authority and access that comes with O-5 command status.

And if you're wondering why the hell this is happening, here’s the kicker: this move gives Big Tech insiders military-level access to classified projects—without the pain-in-the-ass security clearance process. OpenAI just landed a $200 million military contract days later, and Meta is already in bed with defense contractor Anduril.

Conflict of interest? Try full-blown institutional capture.
This isn’t innovation. It’s techno-feudalism with a Pentagon badge.

WTF does it mean when the people building surveillance infrastructure are also given command rank in the U.S. military?
It means the wall between private power and public force is being bulldozed—in broad daylight.

Congress? Asleep.
Veterans? Rightfully outraged.
America? Better wake the hell up.

This isn’t about efficiency—it’s about control. And they just put it in uniform.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
