My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

Tulsi Gabbard is resigning. Good riddance. The Iran war has been the biggest display of intelligence incompetence in decades.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump. There is no close second in our history. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

The fact that Trump made so sure to silence Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie makes me more convinced than ever that there's something really incriminating in the Epstein files.

Never thought I’d see a guy wearing a mask on fox

Cool story, anyway here's you eating dog food.

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

@piersmorgan Too the birds Piers, you MAGA sycophant putz!

Farewell, Stephen Colbert. Very sharp and funny when playing characters on Daily Show and Colbert Report. Not so sharp or funny when he played himself on Late Show, and very dull/predictable after he caught TDS. Thought his finale was lame & self-indulgent.

@TulsiGabbard @ODNIgov Your work for the Kremlin will never be forgotten! 🇺🇸

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anyone.” – President Donald Trump

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-considers-…

We’re so lucky to have a President who is always looking out for the American people.

@Breedlove22 What?

#Bitcoin is truth in advertising, which is why so much untruth is advertised about it.

@Investanswers @ns123abc Yet you love Musk and Trump? They are saints to you? What in the world…

@ns123abc this Brockman is a real Scumbag makes Scam look like a saint.

🚨 GREG BROCKMAN CLAIMED UNDER OATH TODAY HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S BEING SUED FOR The most damaging single exchange in the entire day's testimony came at the end of Brockman's testimony: Today on cross-examination: Q: Did this lawsuit prevent you from publishing the new charter? Brockman: "I've honestly never really been certain what I'm being sued for." Q: You're not? Did you read the complaint? Brockman: "In great detail." Q: They hired some really well-known lawyers, well-known law firms — and they never explained to you what you're being sued for? Brockman: "I understand the claims. I've seen how they've changed over time too. But —" Q: So you do understand? Brockman: "I do stand by my testimony." Q: I thought you said that you didn't understand what you were being sued for. Brockman: "Those are the words I used. Yes." Q: And you stand by that testimony? Brockman: "Yes." Then Musk's lawyer stated the claim directly: Q: You are being sued for breaching your fiduciary duty to the charity, to follow the mission you proclaimed as recently as right now to the world on the website. Understand? Brockman: "Oh, I just disagree with that." Q: You don't get to disagree. I'm asking. You said you didn't know what you're being sued for, and I'm telling you, YOU ARE BEING SUED FOR BREACHING THE CHARITABLE MISSION OF OPENAI, which was to DEVELOP SAFE AI ON AN OPEN SOURCE BASIS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY AND NO ONE PERSON IS TO PROFIT INDIVIDUALLY BY IT. Understand that's what you're being sued for? Brockman: "That's not what we did." On the same day, also under oath, Brockman testified to: - Holds $30 billion in personal OpenAI equity, with $0 invested to acquire it - Received a secret $10 million side-payment from Sam Altman in 2017, concealed from co-founder Musk - Wrote in his August 2017 diary: "This is the only chance we have to get out of Elon... take me to $1 billion" - Wrote in his November 2017 diary: >"If three months later we're doing b-corp then it was a lie." >"I would actually be warm to steal the nonprofit from him to convert to b corp without him." >"His story will correctly be that we weren't honest with him in the end about still wanting to do for profit just without him." - Has four undisclosed financial conflicts with OpenAI counterparties (Cerebras, Stripe, CoreWeave, Helion) - Testified that the OpenAI Foundation had ZERO full-time employees until this lawsuit was filed - Never delivered the $100,000 he publicly pledged in charitable donations to OpenAI eight years ago - Drafted a new charter in December 2023 removing "Our primary duty is to humanity" and adding "capitalism as a positive force" - Agreed he had a fiduciary duty to OpenAI as a 501(c)(3) Charity and to Humanity - Then testified he is not sure any conversation explaining his fiduciary duties ever occurred in his nine years as a charity fiduciary. Greg Brockman has been in the courtroom throughout this trial. He spent five hours confessing every element of unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of charitable trust. Then he played dumb in front of the jury when asked what he was being sued for — because the answer is everything he just confessed. The bench reads behavior. The contradiction is itself the record. The witness already made the case for Musk.

@Investanswers @Kiradavis Have you seen Trump? Your judge of character is shockingly bad.

@Kiradavis Not familiar with Class A drugs, but is this what coke hands look like?

This is about as bad as I’ve seen him.

Trump's bullying only works (and only temporarily at that) because he's taking advantage of the high-trust customs and relationships established by more principled predecessors.

I voted for Trump because I wanted a war with Iran and a new ballroom.
