And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

Uber handed its 5,000 engineers an AI coding assistant in December. By April, the company had blown through its entire AI budget for all of 2026, with two thirds of the year still to go. Cheap, basic AI has gotten almost free over the past few years. But almost no company builds serious software on the cheap stuff. The tools Uber's engineers reached for sit at the very top of the price list, and the top of the list is where prices have been climbing. In April, OpenAI released its newest top-tier model at double the price of the one before it. Anthropic left the list price of its top Claude model unchanged, then changed how it counts text, so the same job now adds up to a bigger bill. And the way these tools run makes it worse. Left on their own, they read a company's entire codebase, write new code, test it, and rewrite it, around the clock. A single task can burn through millions of words, and you pay for every one. At Uber, individual engineers were ringing up $500 to $2,000 a month, and the company had even posted leaderboards ranking people by usage, which only pushed them to lean on it harder. Microsoft hit the same wall from the other direction. When its engineers used Claude Code, Microsoft had to pay Anthropic for every word the AI produced. When those same engineers use Microsoft's own coding tool, the work runs on computers Microsoft already owns and costs the company almost nothing extra. So it told thousands of engineers on its Windows and Office teams to drop Claude Code by the end of June. It still uses Anthropic's models in plenty of other places. The switch came down to one thing: who pays for each word. For years, a flat monthly fee hid how much AI a team was really using. The new pay-as-you-go meters show every cent, and finance teams are seeing the true number for the first time. The cheapest AI keeps getting cheaper. The AI that companies actually want to run keeps getting more expensive, and the bill just came due.

YOU ARE CLEARLY GUILTY AS FUCK WHEN YOUR TRYING TO FORCE THE IRS TO NEVER INVESTIGATE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🤷🙄 YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A GENIUS TO UNDERSTAND THIS 🙄

And then Republicans immediately ruined it.

WEB Dubois son died today May 24th 1899, bc the 3 Black doctors in Atlanta were out of town and white doctors refused to see him… White people are now suing Bc Black people have a list of Black doctors circulating and a white doctor wants to be on the list. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Republicans will destroy every last social safety net program if we let them.

A Congolese man has been murdered by police in Ireland, with a knee to his neck and face. This sort of police violence tragically isn’t exclusive to the USA, it’s something Black and other marginalized folks experience every day all around the world.

Ok yay! Establishment Dems are bad sometimes. Ok COOL. NOW, explain to everyone how Dems are going to run their elections. Where will the money come from? Who will fund it? Small dollar donations WILL NOT BE ENOUGH IN EVERY RACE. MEANWHILE Republicans will be taking EVERY $.

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies. Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues. I pay property taxes. My state has a $4 billion surplus. The federal education budget is $238 billion. And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck. And I'm sending in Ziploc bags. We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money. We fund schools with bake sales. And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

Absolute humiliation for the White House. 60 Minutes confirms Iran is brilliantly bypassing the US blockade, exporting 100,000 MORE barrels of oil daily than before the war. While Trump crashes the Western economy, Tehran freely sells to China. Total strategic collapse!

Hi. Everyone needs to read this. Immediately.

Never let a Republican tell you they’re “good for the economy” or “fiscally responsible.”

I’m so tired of this

If JD Vance wants to fight against fraud, he could just reinstate the govt agency that was fighting against fraud

Turns out Trump only had a two year window to file a lawsuit over his tax return release. That window closed long before Trump made a deal with the DOJ. The people of the United States owe Trump nothing for a payout. Andrew Weissman says this 1.776 billion dollar slush fund is flat out theft and is not part of his official acts. Trump has no immunity for theft. He said anyone involved in putting together this theft is also open to prosecution.
