🇺🇸🤖 Ah yes, the US is "winning" the AI race—because nothing screams victory like turning AI into a glorified sales pitch! Meanwhile, the article casually name-drops #Trump and #Ellison as if they're the Avengers of tech 🤦♂️. Forget #innovation, it's all about who can sell more AI buzzwords! 🤑🎉

So, last night there was a “shooter” at the #Washington #Hilton, where the US Press Corp were busy sucking the cocks of the #EpsteinClass and Rapist In Chief.
Now, I believe this as much as I believe the Penn shooter story, but I tend to assume if the mouths of anyone in this administration is moving, then they are lying.
But when the very first thing Donny and the Magats start screaming is “We have to build the billionaire bunker ballroom, right now or else.”, then boys and girls, what we have is a psyop.
An assassination attempt? Sure, Jan. (Edit, typo)

From the #DreyDossier:
A lot of material information (14 pages) was left out of disclosures relevant to #WarnerBrosDiscovery shareholders ahead of the upcoming vote on the #merger with #ParamountSkydance, until a shareholder sued. One wonders why.
Hint: undisclosed conflicts of interest, including foreign investment from Qatar and Saudi.

The ultra-right "State Freedom Caucus Network" (SFCN)
now has at least 15 state affiliates,
with new caucuses announced last month in Minnesotaand West Virginia.The first action taken by the Minnesota Freedom Caucus was to
💥file articles of #impeachment against two state Democratic officeholders, Attorney General Keith #Ellison and Governor Tim #Walz.“Minnesota Republicans could have filed impeachment articles at any time. The numbers were there,” wrote SFCN President Andrew Roth in a recent letter to supporters.
“What was missing was organization and discipline. It took a Minnesota Freedom Caucus to turn talk into action.”The SFCN umbrella group gives the new affiliates in Minnesota and West Virginia,
along with other state freedom caucuses
— in Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming
— a policy playbook
with directives and support staff to help move their extreme right-wing agenda forward.Mississippi and Nevada were publicly part of the network in the past, but are no longer listed on the SFCN site.
At least 167 lawmakers are members in the 15 states, according to a Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) review.
“Total representation may not be shown as some members are #anonymous,” SFCN notes on its website.The network’s extreme right-wing agenda includes
🔸keeping undocumented residents from using state social services,
🔸enforcing strict rules on voting that constitute voter suppression,
🔸preventing public schools from teaching the history of slavery, systemic racism, and social justice or what the Right labels critical race theory (CRT),
and 🔸preventing state pensions from investing in funds that promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.https://www.exposedbycmd.org/2026/03/05/extreme-right-wing-state-legislators-launch-2026-agenda/

As Paramount moved Monday to sweeten its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery,
a high-stakes political battle is playing out behind the scenes.Paramount's latest offer enhanced its earlier $30-a-share bid, valued at $108 billion,
said a person familiar with the process who was not authorized to comment publicly.Details of the revised proposal, first reported by Bloomberg, were not immediately available.
The firm is leveraging both the dynastic wealth of #Larry #Ellison’s empire
and his ties to the Trump administration
to dismantle Netflix’s rival $82.7-billion deal for Warner,
which owns CNN, HBO and the premier Hollywood film and television studios,
according to people close to the auction.Over the weekend, President Trump turned up the heat,
demanding that Netflix "IMMEDIATELY" fire #Susan #Rice
— a former Obama and Biden administration official
— who serves on Netflix's 13-member board
or "pay the consequences."Trump, in a Saturday night social media post, called the former ambassador
"deranged ... She’s got no talent or skills — Purely a political hack!”Trump previously said he would not get involved in the pivotal Warner Bros. auction,
instead leaving the matter to the Department of Justice,
which is investigating whether a Netflix takeover,
or Paramount's alternative bid,
would harm competition.Trump has been an outspoken critic of CNN and many of its on-air hosts.
Netflix won the bidding for the storied studio and HBO in December,
prompting the spurned Paramount executives to launch a multipronged strategy to scuttle the Netflix deal.Netflix co-Chief Executive #Ted #Sarandos sought to downplay the latest controversy, saying during a BBC interview Monday:
"This is a business deal, it's not a political deal."But Paramount, which declined to comment for this article, has not been shy about playing its political cards.

Tech2Geek deep dives into the history and controversy around #8200
https://www.tech2geek.net/unit-8200-inside-israels-most-influential-and-controversial-cyber-intelligence-force/#Presser at Conference, Reddit link because it’s the best free wall I could find easily. 🤷🏻♀️. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/1qmq9yd/tiktoks_new_ceo_adam_presser_told_the_world/
Mint Press was the first to break the story about 8200 and #TikTok.
https://www.mintpressnews.com/288710-tiktok-isnt-anti-israel-its-hired-unit-8200-agents-to-run-its-affairs/288710/Let’s not forget that #Ellison also owns #CBS, and is the largest private donor in the world to the #IDF, with confirmed donations just shy of $30, million dollars. You know, those dollars he doesn’t pay taxes on while American kids accrue “lunch debt”. Cool, cool.
https://just-international.org/articles/israels-biggest-us-donor-now-owns-cbs/
I would advise against using any software from 8200.

So, #TikTok. TikTok's new CEO, Adam #Presser, told the World Jewish Congress that the platform bans criticism of Zionists. You can say you’re pro #Zionist, that’s not banned, but saying someone else is a Zionist, even avowed ones like #Ellison and Presser, that’s a ban.
Almost the entirety of their American moderation and #infosec are all from Unit 8200. Who is #Unit8200? They are the centerpiece of Israeli intelligence ops. Those pagers in Lebanon? 8200. Pegasus software used to spy on more than 50,000 journalists, politicians, diplomats, business leaders and human rights defenders, and leading directly to the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi? Yep, 8200. The recently discovered malware that hijacks via ad distributions? If you guess 8200, you get a sticker!
Also #Epstein is only banned in the US, pro #Palestine is banned everywhere, and anti #Israel is just gonna get you a knock in the middle of the night. TikTok is spyware, y’all

It’s fair to say that Hollywood is in crisis, or at least in transition.
Studios getting taken over,
culture wars all over the place,
and gen AI rearing its head.The last thing they need is an #interventionist #president determined to wage war on the entertainment industry,
as well as no doubt extracting what value he can.Donald #Trump, as we know, is very interested in the movie business:
in his pre-politics days, he made dozens of appearances in films, as well as on TV.It seems very likely that he’s eyeing a place at Hollywood’s top table after he leaves office
(presuming he does).Perhaps that’s what is behind his most spectacular recent intervention:
demanding, and getting, a fourth #Rush #Hour movie from the new owners of Paramount Pictures,
the studio that was recently taken over by #David #Ellison,
son of #Larry, one of Trump’s key allies.Coincidentally, Trump’s son-in-law
#Jared #Kushner is one of the funders of Paramount’s subsequent bid to derail #Netflix’s takeover of #Warner #Bros,
with Trump himself suggesting he might influence US corporate regulators to prevent the Netflix deal from going ahead.And of course, in the background,
is Trump’s threat of non-specific “#tariffs” on the film industry, ostensibly aimed at keeping movie production inside the US.
But, arguably, this could also be a way of keeping Hollywood’s top executives nervous and pliable.

#Charles #Koch, perhaps the most legendary Republican financier of recent decades,
has never backed Trump, either.The political network affiliated with him and his late brother #David remained officially neutral in the Presidential races of 2016 and 2020,
and spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat Trump in this year’s Republican primaries,
-- much of it supporting Haley.When she dropped out, the Koch network concentrated on down-ballot races.
But Kochworld, like the Republican Party more broadly, remains divided.
“There are a lot of donors in that network lobbying Charles from the perspective of,
I know you don’t like him,
but he’s better than the alternative,”
Marc Short, who worked for a Koch-affiliated group
and later served as Vice-President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, said.Nevertheless, neither Koch nor Pence is supporting Trump this fall
—a remarkable rift, given the role that each of them has played in Republican politics.At the same time, Trump has cultivated a new group of what might be called #maga #megadonors.
A study conducted for The New Yorker by the campaign-finance expert Robert Maguire,
of the nonprofit good-government group #crew,
found that, as of this summer,
more than forty of the G.O.P.’s biggest super-pac donors during Romney’s 2012 campaign had never given to a pro-Trump super pac,
including Oracle’s co-founder #Larry #Ellison,
the Dallas real-estate tycoon #Harlan #Crow,
and the hotel magnate J. W. #Marriott, Jr.Meanwhile, nearly sixty pro-Trump donors in the study,
including #Lutnick, #Mellon, #Perlmutter, and the Wisconsin shipping magnates #Richard and #Elizabeth #Uihlein, had given nothing to the pro-Romney super pac.Others have significantly increased their giving.
The #Adelsons, for example, donated $53 million to the pro-Romney super pac in 2012 and $90 million to support Trump in 2020,
when they were the largest individual donors of the cycle.By the end of September, Miriam Adelson had given $100 million to back Trump in 2024.
With such sums at stake, Trump has pursued what the former Bush Pioneer called a “high touch” approach to the Republican billionaire class.
🔥The ex-President has all but invited donors to view their contributions as business investments,
telling oil-and-gas executives who went to see him in April at Mar-a-Lago, for example, that,
💥because he would allow unrestricted drilling,
🧨they should raise $1 billion for his campaign
—a statement redolent of Sondland’s “quid pro quo” that soon leaked to the Washington Post.The campaign’s strategy, another longtime fund-raiser told me,
was essentially to let Trump be Trump:“He talks the same book to everybody.”
Oliver, the former Bush finance director, observed that the difference between the model of the Bush campaigns and Trump’s is the difference between having a large pool of “institutional investors” which had been built up in the course of years, and a series of ad-hoc “transactional” dealings with a relatively small group of the ultra-rich.
Sean Wilentz, a historian at Princeton University, offered another key distinction. Trump’s billionaires—many of whom have made their fortunes as hedge-fund managers, activist investors, and corporate raiders—tend to be highly motivated ideologues and individual operators. “It’s transactional, but their end of the bargain is a lot different than just having access to the President of the United States,” Wilentz told me. “They see Trump as their instrument. This is an investment for them to take power.” Wilentz noted that, unlike the “traditional corporate conservative élite” dating back to the Gilded Age, this new “class of the super-rich” appears both more numerous and less civic-minded. “The other guys might have been robber barons,” Wilentz said. “These guys are oligarchs.”
