The richest "capitalists" today don't really invest in capital, the means of production. They invest in hype cycles. 🧵

The evidence of murder keeps compiling
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Rahmanulla Lakanwal is the National Guard shooting suspect.
Interesting that there were 36 searches for his exact name.
4 hours before the shooting.
I bet Stephen Miller knows why.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

President Trump's memo on national security and domestic terrorism (NSPM-7) has dangerously broad sweep. "There's a whole swathe of civil society that could easily be designated and basically shut down," says the Brennan Center's @faizapatel.bsky.social.
If You Can Keep It: Trump, hate speech, and free speech
Trump signed a memo designating groups like “Antifa” and Black Lives Matter as terrorist organizations.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein … took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch — scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.
Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

Biden's domestic agenda was 100% correct. The problem was his inability to sell it, due to old age and lack of understanding of mass communications in the '20s. (Also, his foreign policy handed Trump the election.) Efforts to force Dems back into a '90s-'00s agenda are both wrong and unnecessary.
