Stephen Miller made immigration policy. Stephen Miller owned Palantir stock. Palantir got the no-bid contract.
During that window, Palantir's stock rose 200%.
This isn't a bad look. It's a blueprint for how the surveillance state rewards its architects.

Scary stuff. This is next level cruelty and traumatization
ICE detain U.S. citizen woman driving to work—dressrd in full medical scrubs.
"I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me!" she cries. "Why are you doing this to me?"
Woman was dragged out of car, tackled to ground & handcuffed.
Agents finally checked ID to prove her citizenship.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.
The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

It’s not difficult to understand… not enough trickling down to sustain the economy
Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
