You stay silent at the most important moment to speak about the most consequential happenings, (Covid, Palisades, Gaza, Zionism/AIPAC) and only open your mouth about the most inconsequential shit.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

[Senator Ron Johnson @SenRonJohnson]

This is a scandal WAY bigger than Watergate.

@CNN, @MSNOWNews, @NBCNews, @ABC, @PBS — it's past time to cover this.

People died from the COVID shot because the government lied to them, yet the legacy media refuses to report on this story.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.

P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Trump has been repeating the exact same meaningless cycle every single week since he and Netanayau started this war on February 28.

1) We won!; 2) They're begging to surrender!; 3) Order Barak Ravid to announce that a deal is imminent; 4) Bomb again; 5) Back to #1.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses President Trump of being a traitor.

"I'm saying exactly that..."

I mean, it's pretty remarkable to hear you say that you think the president is a traitor.

MTG: "What is remarkable to me is that this administration, people that we voted for, demanding transparency, the man that campaigned all over the country, claiming that he would be the one to drain the swamp, is the very man that fought to keep the Epstein files from being released. And then he, in turn, called me the traitor because I fought to release the Epstein files."

Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long"

"My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made"

"I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money"

"I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area"

"So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner"

"I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL"

"I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"

[Coach Yac 🗣 @Coach_Yac]

Emmanuel Acho’s message to teams wanting to sign Brandon Aiyuk once he’s released by the 49ers:

“Why would you want him on your team? For what? For the distraction within the locker room? For him to potentially be a cancer in the receiver room? What contribution has he shown he can make over the last two years? Furthermore, he’s still coming off an ACL injury. And if he’s willing to throw $60 million away, you think he cares about your organization? He didn’t care about the organization that drafted him, nor the organization that offered him in excess of $60 million guaranteed. So I just don’t know what kind of fool would take a chance on this version of BA.”

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Thomas Massie and I are not done working together. Section 224 of our defense bill means to integrate our military with Israel's military.

As a senior member of the Armed Services committee, I am introducing an amendment to stop financing and enabling war crimes.

[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.

[Eric Mantis @EricMantisT]

Zionism is not Judaism. Do not conflate your extremism with a religion, people who oppose such extremism.

You cry for the world’s voices to be policed and silenced while you drop bombs in 4k. Fuck off.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Another antisemitic attack in Spain. Let’s be clear: targeting Jews because of Jewish symbols - and demanding they distance themselves from Zionism to be accepted - is blatant antisemitism. Jewish identity and Zionism are inseparable. Authorities must act decisively.

[Eric Mantis @EricMantisT]

You mean, you looked elsewhere - vehemently ignoring the US predominant public will, and ignoring the hostile Israeli takeover of the US government. Traitor.

What Massie’s loss means for America 1st & why I’m optimistic about the future of our movement.

We can save our Republic if we can build a broad populist movement against more wars & foreign influence:

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Thank you @joekent16jan19. There’s an organized effort to rewrite the history of my race, but as long as people understand what really happened in the most expensive congressional primary ever, and younger voters stay energized, we will save our country.

[James Li @5149jamesli]

🚨 Israel is attempting a hostile takeover of the U.S. military!!

Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act “would all but fuse American and Israel’s armed forces together”.

DO NOT COMPLY!! 🤬

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Wait until @Jim_Jordan discovers Tel-Aviv born Miriam Adelson gave $200 million of her Chinese gambling money to Trump and just spent millions on fake ads to take out this Republican in Kentucky because I am opposed to all foreign aid and American sponsored genocide.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Congress has advanced a bipartisan bill led by Adam Smith (D) and Mike Rogers (R) to integrate the US and Israeli militaries.

If you thought funding genocide was rock bottom for the US, think again.

The US wants to sink lower and merge with the army that committed the genocide.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.

We are a sovereign country.

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI.

The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace.

They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up:

Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it.

Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived.

Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead.

The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much.

Uber's story is even worse...

Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April.

Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems.

Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session.

The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money.

Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote:

"For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees."

This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans.

Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative.

Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing:

AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs.

The stock market rewarded every company that said it.

Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up.

But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill.

Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools.

Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible.

Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone.

And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control.

The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP.

This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in.

$725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work.

What do you think?
