New Pentagon budget reports show Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month, making it the highest monthly expense since 2008. This budget report included spending $2 million on Alaskan King Crab.

So you’ve decided to run for office. Now comes one of the most important decisions: choosing the right race. Start by matching your passion with a position that actually influences the issues you care about. Don’t overlook local offices—school boards, city councils, and county positions often have a direct impact on people’s daily lives. Take time to review turnout data. In some races, a few thousand votes—or even fewer—can decide the outcome. And make sure you research filing requirements early so deadlines don’t sneak up on you. Choosing the right office isn’t just about running—it’s about running where you can make the biggest difference.

A new report says the Pentagon burned through $93 billion in September alone as the fiscal year ended — part of the federal government’s “use-it-or-lose-it” budget system. The spending spree reportedly included millions on lobster, crab, steak, furniture, electronics, and even musical instruments, according to a watchdog analysis. Because if there’s money left in the budget… apparently it’s time for a shopping spree. Read more: 👉 crowdblue.com/news/913598

This didn’t age well.

After an NPR investigation found dozens of Epstein-related pages had been withheld, the Justice Department released 16 more pages — including FBI interview summaries tied to longstanding allegations involving Trump and a report documenting the initial call to the FBI.

Blind loyalty is dangerous. When people stop asking questions and just follow whoever shouts the loudest, accountability disappears and bad ideas spread fast. Democracy only works when people think for themselves. Question. Verify. Don’t follow blindly. 🧠

@CrowdBlueHQ What bs. This guy.

🚨 The latest jobs report just dropped — and it’s not great. U.S. employers cut 92,000 jobs last month, pushing unemployment up to 4.4% and raising fresh concerns about the direction of the economy. Economists had expected job growth, not losses. Between rising costs, global tensions, and policy uncertainty, the labor market is starting to show real strain.

Mark Cuban just pronounced software dead, and the implications will destroy industries before most people understand what happened. Cuban: “Software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.” Rigid SaaS dies. Businesses stop bending to static tools. AI molds around needs in real time. Value chain shatters. Decade of value going to generalist builders ends. Transfers to customizers who translate capability into advantage. Next trillion comes from customized intelligence sold to “33 million companies” too small for giants to service. Software-as-a-Service over. Service-as-Software owns everything. Cuban: “33 million companies aren’t going to have AI budgets, aren’t going to have AI experts.” Problems exist. Data exists. The bridge doesn’t. Cuban: “Learn all you can about AI but learn more on how to implement them in companies.” Market bifurcates into builders and integrators. Integrators capture value builders can’t touch. Cuban: “Every single job available for kids coming out of school because every single company needs that.” Technical translator becomes the only role that matters. Contextualizing AI for specific use cases becomes more valuable than building AI itself. Learn “the difference between Sora and Veo” and “how to customize a model” and you modernize any legacy business’s economics faster than they can process. Alpha isn’t the model. Alpha is applying it to contexts nobody else understood well enough to solve. There are 33 million businesses waiting for that person who doesn’t exist yet.

TODAY: Tens of thousands in Tucscon, AZ joined the nationwide shut down to demand ICE out of Arizona. Organizers say this is the largest protest in recent memory.

Moltbots/Clawdbots now have their own social network (@moltbook) and it's wild. This is the first time I'm a little scared... You need to watch this.

Los Angeles was ground zero for Trump’s war on immigrants and his abuse of power. Now, Minnesotans exercising their First Amendment rights are being violently suppressed by his secret police — leaving people dead. Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller must resign.

They let Pete Buttigieg on Fox again lol

Solar is not A source of energy, it is THE source of energy

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.
