Miami hotels are quietly replacing front desk staff with workers in India. Guests now check in by video call with a remote representative overseas. No local staff. No in-person service. American jobs are becoming outsourced labor.

So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran which includes the genocide in Palestine, the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, and the potential ground operation in Cuba.

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

I grew up going to Hermosa Beach. Nothing like this ever happened. Hermosa Beach 2nd Weekend “Takeover” Ends in Familiar Chaos as Fatigue Sets In Hermosa Beach, California ran the experiment two weekends in a row: large coordinated “teen takeovers” that start as beach energy and end as predictable disorder. Thousands gather. Music blares. The boardwalk fills up. And somewhere in the middle of all that, the situation flips from crowded to chaotic as multiple fights break out across the sand and walking paths. Families and regular beachgoers get pushed to the margins while law enforcement moves in to break up clusters and restore order. Same sequence, different weekend. At this point, the reaction from the public feels less shocked and more exhausted. The nation is fatigued watching the same scenes repeat under different sunsets, with the only real change being how quickly it escalates. By night’s end, Hermosa Beach is left with the usual aftermath: scattered trash, viral clips, and officials once again looking for ways to manage gatherings that keep proving they can’t manage themselves.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

HUMILIATING GOP MELTDOWN CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Rand Paul just pulled the chair out from under Marco Rubio in the Senate hearing — and the hypocrisy exploded in real time. Rand drops the hammer: “If another country bombed our air defenses, captured and removed our President on U.S. soil… would THAT be okay?” Rubio freezes. He starts frantically erasing his notes, forgets how to breathe, and looks like a Trump sycophant who just realized he sold his soul for nothing. Rand reminds him point-blank: Congress declares war. Congress controls the checkbook. That Constitution you swore an oath to? GOP loves executive power when Trump’s doing regime change abroad. But flip the script? Suddenly it’s not so sexy. Rubio couldn’t even choke out “NO.” He couldn’t defend the endless foreign adventures he’s been selling for years. Our tax dollars. Their cowardice. This isn’t politics. This is a bought-and-paid-for senator auctioning off the Constitution for donor dinners and Fox News applause. GOP in power = rules for thee, but never for me.

MAGA is celebrating Trump arresting anti-war veterans. Literally fuck these people. Veterans have earned the right to say what they want.

THIS IS WHO THE LEFT IS: This left-wing asshole, Brian Shapiro, has been in my DMs threatening me with lawsuits, calling me a "f*cking idiot" and telling me that I've been faking my injuries all week because he doesn't like my politics. He's apparently set to go on OANN and Fox news and states that he's going to "blast me" for lying?? He is now blaming the backlash against the Ostroushko family on me, stating that it's my fault they've been fired from their jobs. He's been sending me extremely aggressive messages all week and I normally wouldn't respond to this type of behavior but it's truly unhinged and he's promised to help the family sue me for....defamation. This is who the left-wing is. They hate you, will assault you, blame you for it, try to raise money off of it and then sue you for defending yourself. Truly disgusting people.

I want want want. Communism. "I want everyone… to have a roof over their head. I want universal child care, free K-8 summer care… I want social housing, I want much more land and wealth to be stewarded by communities instead of corporations…"

Elon Musk’s “baby mama” Ashley St. Clair says her mind was blown once she saw the “contrast” between Republican and Democrat events. “I’ve been to my fair share of Republican events, and they are all debaucherous: the drinking, the substances, the s*x.” “I went to the World Forum… an event with Hillary Clinton… and everyone I met there had a family and/or was leaving early to go see their kids.” “And nobody was like, ‘Hey, you want to hit the club after?’ like it was when I would go to these Republican events. There was no rave event after, like at Turning Point.” “But it was astounding to see that contrast because while you’re in MAGA, you’re told that the left is the side of debauchery and degeneracy… And then when I’m contrasting both sides with these events… that to me, I was like [mind blown sound].”

🔵CODE BLUE: The $100M Infiltration of FAKE NURSES In American Healthcare That stethoscope? It might just be a prop. Imagine lying in a hospital bed, vulnerable, placing your life in the hands of a "professional"—only to find out their degree was delivered via FedEx, not earned in a classroom. 🎓 Nursing School? "That’s for Suckers." At least, that was the mantra for the 7,600 imposters involved in Operation Nightingale. This wasn’t a small-time operation; it was a multi-state criminal syndicate headquartered in South Florida that turned nursing credentials into a commodity. The Price of Admission: $10,000 to $17,000. The "Product": Authentic-looking —but totally fraudulent diplomas and transcripts. Bonus Shortcut: No clinical hours. No grueling late-night study sessions. Just a wire transfer. 🧠The "Brains" Behind the Scam: Not your typical basement hackers. The key masterminds were insiders: School Owners Registrars High-level Administrators They ran accredited but corrupt Florida-based nursing schools, weaponizing their institutional power to bypass the guardrails of the healthcare system. These fake documents allowed anyone with the cash to sit for the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) and embed themselves in ERs and home health agencies nationwide. No one even questioned it. 💸 The Medicare Hijacking While the headlines scream "Diploma Mill," the real gut-punch is the Medicare Fraud. The Scam: Facilities unknowingly (or willfully) hired these fake nurses and billed the federal government for "skilled nursing care." The Reality: YOUR Taxpayer dollars—your money—were used to fund unqualified care. Because the "nurses" weren't legal, every cent billed to Medicare was a False Claim, leading to millions in potential clawbacks and legal chaos. ⚠️ The Aftermath The FBI and HHS have moved to revoke licenses and shut down the ring, but the fallout remains. 7,600 fake nurses identified. $100 Million in illegal profits. Zero regard for patient safety. "Trust the science" is a lot harder to do when you can't even trust the credentials hanging on the wall. Is your healthcare provider the real deal? In a post-Nightingale world, it's a question we never thought we'd have to ask.

Lebanon | An Israeli soldier smashing the head of a Jesus Christ statue during operations in southern Lebanon.

WATCH: In a bombshell statement, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni has openly declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."

UPDATE: Chris Ostroushko says that the backlash his family has been receiving for their actions last weekend has been “overwhelming” and “nonstop” He’s now “second guessing” living in the United States, because he’s unhappy with how negatively the public has reacted to him assaulting a woman on camera. He is in complete disbelief, stating that, "I've never had anything like this happen in my life". Chris and Deyanna have been going on a press tour continuing to assert that they are the real victims, despite millions watching the footage of them instigating everything. There is also a GoFundMe for them, where they are currently trying to raise $8k, stating that they’ve lost their jobs and, “are facing one of the most overwhelming and life-altering moments they have ever experienced”. The family has still taken zero accountability for any of the violence they committed and are in complete shock that they are facing consequences for their actions. Last week Chris also did an interview where he lied, stating that his family is “absolutely not violent" and that all he did was "stay back and watch" everything, despite being on camera shoving me multiple times.
