The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements. The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.

Kentucky got over $980 million from opioid settlements. Pike County’s share is funding the Recovery Resource Center at the Health Department “The Hub” run by Tammy Morris Riley.
May 2025: Fiscal Court approved $241,893 for year one, with a five-year commitment topping $990,000. More state grants and federal dollars are being chased.

Tammy calls it a “one-stop shop” with harm reduction, peer support, and wraparound services. WestCare (which runs programs inside Brian Morris’s jail) also pulls in millions in opioid-related funding.

Here’s the problem: Tammy Morris Riley oversees The Hub and opioid money. Her brother Brian Morris runs the jail that feeds clients into these programs. No public disclosure of their sibling relationship in grants or presentations.

Add this: Former Judge-Executive Ray Jones pushed turning the old Millard school into an ARC rehab center, calling it great for the community even as residents reported people leaving, squatting, and destroying property. ARC founded by Tim Robinson is now in an FBI investigation, negotiating a $27.7 million DOJ settlement with $16 million in restitution for Medicaid fraud.

The same people who propped up ARC and Tim Robinson are on Brian Morris’s donor list. When is he going to answer questions about opioid abatement funding, The Hub, the undisclosed family overlaps, and this pattern of mismanagement?

Terrifying revelation. A retired top US General exposes Pete Hegseth for firing the Army's Chief of Chaplains. He reveals these top generals were purged because they stood up against Hegseth's psychotic claim that US soldiers are fighting for Jesus. A nationalist takeover!

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic.

An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe.

We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority.

NASA’s own administrator just said studying climate change isn’t part of NASA’s mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction.

Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build.

We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time.

Elissa Slotkin: We are going to have to grapple with the unbelievable corruption that is coming out of this administration. His kids alone have earned $1 billion since he became president.

A lot of my peers do whatever the president tells them to do. They've ceded power as a separate branch of government. It's amazing.

“We just told Zelensky the guarantees won't kick in until he does what russia wants.”

This is the Secretary of State of the United States telling the victim of aggression that it must do what the aggressor wants. Never forget. Vote them all out.

If there was one clip I would want every American to listen to today it would be this one. It’s a 10 minute essential message that is long overdue.

This is not catastrophising, it’s a recognition of the societal threat it represents. This not about using ChatGPT to write a report or an email, this is about the intersection between AI and robotics and that’s the accelerant on the fire that is AI.

I have worked with it and I have seen first hand what it can do in terms of accelerating workflow and application development. It is formidable technology and we are way past the point at which the genie can be put back in the bottle.

I wrote about it at length last year and in the short intervening period since, it has advanced beyond comprehension. As Bernie points out here, the threat to jobs is existential, but what’s important to recognise is that is the jobs most at risk are not at the bottom of the economic food chain, they are middle and upper middle class jobs.

From accountants to bankers to research scientists to lawyers to programmers, a whole raft of middle and upper management roles are about to quickly become extinct.

I believe we face the threat of an economic extinction event. Just as in 1928 when the wealth gap was not dissimilar to what it is today, it took an economic depression and a World War to drive an economic reset that also reset the wealth gap.

These are dangerous times and unless we regulate this technology, society itself is facing an extinction event of its own. AI renders human labour acceptable collateral damage in this revolution. Declining population will shift from being a liability to an asset.

The oligarchs believe they have insulated themselves against the human catastrophe that will follow. They believe they are on the right side of a winner takes all strategy and they might be right, but I suspect they are more likely wrong, because the fly in the ointment they are ignoring is CHINA.

Xi is just sitting back while the West sets itself on fire. They are approaching the AI revolution in a totally different way. They will win because they don’t have to worry about the shareholder class. They don’t plan in 2 year election cycles, they plan in 10 and 25 year cycles.

While the US was obsessed with large language models, China has integrated AI into manufacturing automation which is central to their wealth engine. They don’t have to build infrastructure, they’ve already done it. They don’t need to invest in supply chain infrastructure because the Belt and Road initiative is already in place.

They own deep port and road infrastructure across Europe Africa and Latin America and have a distribution pipeline ready to go. They are electrifying their economy to remove reliance on fossil fuel imports. They are adding capacity to their energy grid faster than any nation on earth.

In 2025 alone they added 543 GW with solar accounting for almost 50%. They have now surpassed 1,000 GW in solar power and given they manufacture 92% of the world’s solar modules they have ZERO supply chain issues as they march on to cheap energy when the U.S. is running away from renewable energy.

They also added a further 80 GW of wind power. If you’re looking for a broader energy comparison, The capacity added by China since the end of 2021 already exceeds the entire power system of the United States.

The critical point here is that the top two global powers are approaching the AI revolution from two opposite angles. The Chinese are seeking to integrate it into society, at the same time the oligarchs are seeking to replace society. This is why China will win and become the number one global economy.

The world is at an inflection point and I’m afraid greed will prove to be the downfall of American imperial ambition. Will the rich survive? Of course they will, they always do. As for everyone else, I’m afraid you’re on your own unless they are stopped. My advice is to learn Chinese.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

The CEO of Palantir just said the quiet part out loud.
Alex Karp — whose company builds surveillance and defense technology for the U.S. government — just openly stated that AI will deliberately shift economic power away from highly educated, often female, Democratic-leaning workers and toward vocationally trained, working-class, often male voters.

He then admitted these technologies are — his word — “dangerous” and “suicidal,” and that the only justification for deploying them is the military argument: if we don’t, our adversaries will.

So let’s be clear about what was just said on the record: A defense contractor CEO told you AI is being built to restructure the American class system, that it will destroy the economic power of an entire political demographic, and that the only way to sell it to the public is to wrap it in national security.

"I'm gonna say this right here... win or lose. I've done several Kentucky games now. Win or lose, $22 million this team is, according to reports, is the NIL for their players. With $22 million, they could have put together a better roster than they did."
