#BREAKING: Hayes: “…using federal agents to criminally investigate voting rights activists, to raid their office, maybe even perp walk them in for charges. That of course has been a classic old school tactic of election-rigging autocrats across generations, and here’s what appears to be OUR first version of that. FBI agents raided the Cleveland office of an Ohio-based voting rights organization on Thursday…The group is called Ohio Organizing Collaborative. They run voter registration drives in major cities with under represented groups…A board member of the group named…Haney, told MSNOW that agents were basically trying to FISH for information. Some of the people told Haney that the agents approached WITHOUT warrants. It was just straight up intimidation tactics, he said…This is NOT an isolated case.” 😳

#BREAKING: CO AG Griswold: “We are trying to interpret an executive order and rule making but at the end of the day, DHS would send states a list 60 days ahead of the election. We would then have to send the postal service a list 30 days ahead of the election, and to tell you the truth…it feels like a trap. So what happens if an eligible voter is not on DHS’ list? They are telling us that DOJ is going to come after us if we send that ballot out. It’s attempted interference, it’s attempted voter suppression, it’s no good. I don’t know exactly what they are doing, that is what I believe they are doing, but I do know it’s unlawful, it’s unconstitutional and we’re going to fight like hell to push back. The state of Colorado and other states are already in litigation and we are going to push back on the rule making that the postal service just commenced, published this week also.” 🤦‍♀️

When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

The DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump, his family and his businesses from IRS audits This is outrageously corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar. CREW President Donald Sherman breaks it down.

This is what happens when you give your pool boy a $14,000,000 no bid contract for stuff he’s clearly not qualified to do.

So now, just lie all the time is the plan hoping the public buys this

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

BRENNAN: But there is a crisis with those weapons stockpiles right now HEGSETH: No there is not. That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle BRENNAN: You have testified to it in front of Congress HEGSETH: You don't have to read back to me what I testified

Wall Street just pulled off the exact move that turned 2008 from a housing problem into a global collapse. They turned Nvidia graphics cards into bonds, stamped them investment grade, and started selling them into the funds that hold retirement money. Here is what happened while everyone was busy arguing about whether AI stocks were overvalued: The company at the center is CoreWeave, which rents out Nvidia chips to AI companies. To buy those chips, it borrows enormous sums, and the collateral on the loans is the chips themselves. That alone is alarming because a graphics card LOSES most of its value within a few years as the next generation makes it obsolete. You are lending against an asset built to rot. In January, Nvidia invested $2 billion straight into CoreWeave, which then used borrowed money to buy more Nvidia chips. On March 31, CoreWeave closed an $8.5 billion loan backed by its chips, and for the first time the rating agencies stamped that chip-backed debt investment grade, with Moody's assigning it an A3. Debt secured by depreciating graphics cards was rated nearly as SAFE as a blue-chip corporate bond. Then on May 18, CoreWeave closed the first chip-backed facility designed to be publicly syndicated and traded on secondary markets. And that's the part that really matters because it means this debt can now be sliced up, passed around, and bought by anyone, including the bond funds and pension managers who are required to hold "safe" investment-grade paper. On June 11, it announced another $3.5 billion in bonds on top of all of it. Now compare this to what happened in the past: Subprime mortgages in 2007 were not dangerous because some people got loans they couldn't repay... They became a global bomb the moment that debt got rated AAA and sold into the wider financial system, because the rating is what let it bleed into money market funds, pensions, and bank balance sheets that were supposed to be boring and safe. The bad loans were the spark but the packaging and rating were the detonator. And that detonator just got built for AI. Debt backed by graphics cards is now rated investment grade and trades on secondary markets, which means the AI bubble is no longer trapped inside tech stocks you can choose not to own. It has been quietly converted into bonds and routed toward the retirement accounts of people who have never typed a single prompt in their lives. And the whole structure rests on a backlog of customer "commitments" that CoreWeave values at nearly $100 BILLION, backed by a $21 billion Meta deal and a $6 billion Jane Street deal. Those are promises to pay over many years, made by AI companies that are themselves mostly unprofitable and burning cash. If even a few of those customers slow down or walk away, the collateral sitting under all this rated debt is a warehouse of chips losing value by the month. The AI bubble used to be a stock-market story you could opt out of. But as of this spring, that isn't the case anymore. So here's the real question: When the people packaging this debt swear to you that it's safe, who do you think is standing on the other side of that trade?

He’s not just another creep. He’s an adjudicated rapist, a convicted felon, and a sexual predator—and thanks to MAGA, he’s back in the White House. Share it twice so every one of them sees what they voted for. Twice-convicted. Twice-impeached. Still disgusting. #DemsUnited #EpsteinTrumpFiles

Ten Ways You Are Being Burned by Billionaires - via @inequalityorg inequality.org/article/ten-wa…

@Wraithverg @allenanalysis It's not really amazing how fuking stupid you MAGATS are ----you can't even figure out that when more people vote--they vote for Democrats.. Why TF do you think Republicans spend half their time in Congress trying to prevent Americans from voting? You dumb ass

@allenanalysis I'm trying to find his analysis of Mark Zuckerberg's $450 million dollars he spent to buy the election of Biden in 2020. That doesn't include the 8+ million phony votes that the Dems could not reproduce for Harris in 2024 because of greater scrutiny.

BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk. According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle. He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth. In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over. That's a democracy question, not just a money question.

A TRILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRES ARE SCREWING THE WORLD SENSELESS…. The laws are written by the rich, for the rich. Billionaires have mastered a system that allows them to legally avoid paying income taxes while ordinary people carry the burden.

Last goodbyes are always hard. Cheers to @JESweet2022 for covering while I said goodbye to my 90-year-old aunt. In my absence, Jon detailed in our 06.12.2026 INTREP360 IR every which way Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is declaring Iran the winner. Link below.
