    There many things wrong with #Palentir. My understnading is that:

    1) its COE is a weirdo with weird and dangerous ideas
    2) Its owner is a #fascist
    3) Palentir is used widely by security and spy agencies
    4) The word is that Palentir reserves its ‘right of access’ to all ‘metadata’ in the systems it installs.. and that leads to… let your imagination run wild.
    5) Theil, the owner is a strong supporter of #tRump and a #billionaire

    If that’s not enough. There’s probably more like high costs, software security issues, reliabilty & accuracy of results, and imbedded Palentir staff working with sensitive data. Etc.

  2. The depth of the #Trump admin’s #criminal #corruption on display:

    When #DOJ indicted India’s richest man in the final weeks of the #Biden admin, prosecutors described an “elaborate” #bribery scheme involving “corruption & #fraud at the expense of US investors.”

    Now…the DOJ is planning to drop the charges altogether.

    The reversal came after the Indian #billionaire, Gautam Adani, hired a new legal team led by Robert J. Giuffra Jr., one of Trump’s personal lawyers.

  7. #MissKittyRaw You know why I know I'm so damn right? Cuz I use the #devil's own tools to create #goodness. That's how come I know I'm right. I turn the #billionaire #golden #goose into society's permanent stability first. And I prove it in the checkbook. I am better at math than liars.

    Six months ago #oligarchs were bellowing their intent to up-sticks from #NYC and get as far away as possible from the #MetGala should #Mamdami get elected. I’m sure some will leave in a snit, but I’m yet to see any reportage that aligns with last year’s #billionaire bluster

    For those that choose to stay and don’t want to pay taxes on their luxe apartments, selling is always an option. Proceeds can be rolled into hotel stays instead. This is not complex

  13. I wonder if we’ll look at this year’s #MetGala as some kind of tipping point?

    The gushing #billionaire owned press foist fawning imagery on us normies. It all smacks of the self absorbed Capitol Elite at the center of the #HungerGames.

    Is this the year when backlash coalesces? Where the 99% say enough and demand a #WealthTax?

  17. My wife brought this home from somewhere. I like unsweet tea, and I'm apolitical about citrus.

    This is #LiquidDeath, I think she got it because it's #Dead #Billionaire flavor.

    This tastes like the instant Nestea in a jar, only it's leaving an odd tingle, like It remembers licking a battery.

    I mean I like the concept. I expected it would be more satisfying, though.

  18. 🧵 1/2: If there's anything this #UKpol #localelections has definitely cemented, is how the #FirstPastThePost #FPTP system has been totally played by #Reform & its #billionaire supporters who absolutely don't need #PR, when the system already gives them a disproportionate representation as long as they pass the tipping point, (30% of votes gets 2/3 of seats). FPTP encourages #gerrymandering, which now started in the #UK.

    #Billionaire press barons are strongly against any Leftie who might make them pay tax. They don't pay tax, and they aren't bound by the law, as the rest of us are.

    So now they're smearing #Zack. Predictable.

  20. A Four-Word Response for Those Upset With #JeffBezos for Any Number of Reasons: 'Tax the Damn Rich'

    Sen. #BernieSanders noted that the #billionaire spent $10 million on the #MetGala, $120 million on a penthouse, and $500 million on a yacht while “planning to throw 600,000 Amazon workers out on the streets and replace them with #robots.”

  21. #Trump starts an unnecessary war at the behest of Israel and the US Israeli lobby that he now doesn’t seem to know how to win or end. So he totally tires of the #IranWar and appears now obsessed with his #ballroom, #VoterSupression and the continuing campaign of vengeance against his perceived enemies. After telling us that taxpayers wouldn’t pay a dime for his ornate, gilded ballroom, he now asks for a billion dollars to fund the project. Uh-huh. The #Republicans war has already cost 14 American lives, hundreds of injured and cost us $25 billion. Not to mention our depleted arsenal. There’s no end in sight - so more of our resources and our $$ down the drain. This at a time when the average American is suffering a severe #affordability crisis and the #TrumpRegime is cutting funding for basic services and our safety net. This is crazy stuff. What’s worse is our descent into #billionaire designed & funded #fascism. At the end of the day, #RepublicansDidThis to us. Remember in November! #USPol #USPolitics

  22. Musk to pay $1.5 million over SEC Twitter stake case

    Elon Musk agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle Securities and Exchange Commission allegations that he cheated Twitter…

  23. #TheGuardian "wheeling out the old tricks of the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam against the Greens & party leader Zack Polanski."

    #Zack isn't #Corbyn, & we all know now that the scam comes from #Billionaire media barons, who might have to pay tax if a Leftie got in! 😱

  24. watching the world’s greatest golfers navigate a course he commissioned, as “fans” consume #Trump branded drinks at the #TrumpVodka Bar & marvel at a new #golden #statue memorializing Trump’s defiant “salute” after his 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, PA. Throngs of cheering people greeted Trump as he arrived Saturday night, ahead of today’s final round.

  25. But in #Trump’s 2nd term, some that once publicly opposed him have backed down. Even those that engaged in quiet resistance, such as the #PGA Tour, have come to accommodate him. And now golf’s flagship tour, with the accompanying glitz & glamour, is back at his #resort.

    So while his popularity lags — recent polls have put Trump’s approval ratings in the mid-30s — this weekend offers the kind of validation that #Trump desperately craves

    #TrumpIsALoser #loser #billionaire #PurchasedValor

  26. For a decade, the #PGA Tour shunned #Trump courses as his first presidential run “unnerved” sponsors. The #PGATour even pulled one long-running event from #Doral & moved it to Mexico City, after the tour & other corporations had publicly chastised Trump for his #racist tirades about Mexicans. The moves bruised Trump’s fragile ego, who forged an alliance with the PGA Tour’s upstart rival, the #SaudiArabia’s #LIVGolf, & urged players to defect.

    #TrumpIsALoser #loser #billionaire #PurchasedValor

  27. 🤣🤣🤣

    obviously a rigged tourney

    #Trump hosts #PGA Tour at [his property] Doral — & he’s the big “winner”

    It’s like paying a bunch of prostitutes for sex & then bragging about your conquests. Presumably something he does all the time.

  31. All those Rich People lists are useless.

    These lists unnecessarily inspire people to engage in a materialistic, cut-throat race for wealth.

    Billionaires should give back to the countries in which they have acquired wealth. They should help solve human problems.

    Instead, there should be a ranking of the most 'Philanthropic Billionaires'.

The #billionaire campaign contributor—& friend of #Trump —had sought out lawmakers in #Congress, troubled by what he saw as a “#LandGrab” by #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth & the #Pentagon’s No. 2 #political appointee, Deputy Defense Secy #SteveFeinberg, acc/to people familiar…. #Hegseth & Feinberg, Phelan said, had imposed rigid control over submarine & shipbuilding decisions, effectively usurping the Navy’s authority….
