Trump has pardoned Trevor Milton, a man convicted of stealing $695 million from investors.
This pardon came after Milton donated nearly $1 million to Trump's PAC.
If you are a criminal and have a bag of cash for the orange pig… you’re as good as free.
If this bill passes, then preservation of all media, historical, gaming, movies, etc, will die. Piracy, while obviously illegal, is necessary to allow people to have access to media that would otherwise be locked behind a paywall, destroyed or altered. Straight up authoritarian
"The children will grow up".
This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.
🚨OUTRAGEOUS: An MS NOW reporter just tried to enter the White House, scanned her badge and discovered it had been DEACTIVATED:
“I attempted to scan my badge. It DID NOT work. There is a red beeping light. The officer said it’s disabled.” This is a direct attack on our freedom.
Regimes that have restricted press freedom:
• Nazi Germany (1933–1945)
• Soviet Union under Stalin (1924–1953)
• North Korea (1948–present)
• Franco’s Spain (1939–1975)
• Mussolini’s Fascist Italy (1922–1943)
• Pinochet’s Chile (1973–1990)
• Communist Cuba (1959–present)
• Putin’s Russia (2000–present)
• The Trump Reich (2017–2021; 2025–present)
Today: Politico banned from the White House.
Earlier today: Politico reports on epic screw up that sent classified military hardware to China.
Coincidence?
Some people are seething at this and honestly my opinion of this is that the guy who was an ambulance driver in the Italian theater of WWI is very much allowed to have this kind of take.
oh this is why they were farming the interview. i give a nuanced answer about acts of terror this admin has caused and they clickbait it. he asked, i gave a nuanced answer. we’ve armed al qaeda since 9/11, we made its former commander the president of syria.
Hackers ripped a Flock camera off a pole, dumped what was stored on it, and handed the files to WIRED and 404 Media.
One camera. 21 days.
~50,000 vehicles. 1.6 million images. About 3,300 cars a day. Peak day: 4,454.
Flock sold this as “license plate readers” with on-device encryption. The software on that box wasn’t just reading plates. It was tagging vehicles, bikes, and people. Dozens of shots of a single car. Bumper stickers. Even an American flag patch on a motorcycle bag.
They put the encryption key on the camera. Then acted shocked when somebody opened it.
imagine if a country launched a tomahawk missile at a elementary school in South Carolina that killed 120 schoolchildren and then it took six and a half months for the international community to say there were “reasonable grounds” of it being a war crime
