Uh oh… CNBC just admitted AI demand is falling and that’s why SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI are rushing to go public.
If CNBC is telling you this, the party is already over.

It appears the unconstitutional private Flock surveillance cameras can be damaged by a green laser….

RETHUGLICAN $$$$$$COTUS IS KILLING US
If you rob a bank, you go to jail for decades.
If you cause cancer for millions of people over several decades, you get total immunity. Our justice system is such a stupid joke.

We’re all gonna live substantially shorter lives because the US Supreme Court has ruled they are allowed to poison us. The Supreme Court has sided with the maker of Roundup weedkiller, blocking thousands of lawsuits alleging it failed to warn users the product could cause cancer.

HealthRanger @HealthRanger
America’s highest court has now told every American: you can be poisoned by corporate chemicals, and you have no recourse.
Nine state legislatures — Iowa, Missouri, Idaho, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Wyoming, Montana, and Oklahoma — already rejected industry-backed bills that would grant such immunity, recognizing the danger of letting chemical companies off the hook. Yet SCOTUS imposed it from the bench, bypassing the democratic process and handing Bayer a license to continue poisoning the population without consequence.
This is not justice; it is a death sentence for millions who will now be exposed to glyphosate without any legal recourse when they develop non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or other cancers.
SCOTUS just transformed the food supply in America into a slow death sentence.

Upside-down flag at Rethuglican Justice Alito’s home another blow for Supreme Court under fire
Killing people is totally fine… as long as you’re a corporation. Not even an American one. This proves it: Americans aren’t citizens, just consumers. Anyone with enough cash can buy the system. Disgusting.
Americans need to be protected from the Supreme Court more than anything.

Supreme Court Shields Bayer from Roundup Cancer Warning Lawsuits
In a 7-2 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal pesticide laws block state lawsuits against Bayer’s Monsanto for not warning about cancer risks from glyphosate in Roundup. Justice Kavanaugh’s majority opinion, backed by the EPA’s repeated safety findings, reversed a Missouri court’s verdict and may end thousands of similar cases, despite Bayer’s $11 billion in prior settlements. Dissenters Jackson and Gorsuch argued states could enforce warnings without clashing with federal rules, as glyphosate’s safety divides experts like the EPA and WHO.

BBC Demands Trump’s Phone Logs and January 6 Records in $10 Billion Defamation Fight
Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion in December 2025 over its Panorama documentary, which edited clips from his January 6 ‘Stop the Steal’ speech to suggest he urged violence, omitting his call to peacefully make voices heard. The broadcaster, after apologizing and seeing its top executives resign, now seeks expansive discovery including records from the January 6 committee, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and advisors like Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon. Trump’s lawyers call the requests excessive, aimed at relitigating the Capitol riot rather than focusing on the edit, with the case before a Trump-appointed judge and a possible 2027 trial.
Don Winslow @donwinslow
THIS is exactly what @ABC and others should have done to Trump instead of caving and giving in and paying him off with millions of dollars.

Exhibit A should be Mitch McConnell’s statement:
The mob was “provoked by the president and other powerful people” who used “fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the federal government”. Trump was ‘Practically and morally responsible’.

Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin
When President Trump illegally demolished the White House’s East Wing, he dumped the resulting 35,000 cubic yards of toxic debris on the East Potomac National Park. The administration knew it was dangerous to our people and our environment, but did it anyway. Now, we’re demanding they clean up their mess.
Public health research at world-class institutions like the @NIH is an important public good.
@RepDelBene, @RepLoriTrahan and I are leading 122 of our colleagues to oppose the Trump Administration’s efforts to give partisan political appointees final say over health research grants.

A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by @KatiePhang
Unredacting the names of senders and recipients in at least eight email exchanges that involve Jeffrey Epstein regarding a “torture video” and sexual activity with young women, including minors.
Unredacting the names of possible co-defendants identified in a draft indictment, the names of individuals identified as possible co- conspirators, and the names of the individuals who were the sender and the recipients of an internal DOJ email briefing on the prosecution. Turning over notes from FBI interviews with …

Gov. @GavinNewsom:
“It’s time for a national billionaires tax. 10% of 🇺🇸 owns 2/3rds of the wealth. Wages have stood still as costs skyrocket. The system is broken. Time for an economic reset. The very top should pay at least the same tax rate as their workers. End the gimmick that lets the ultra-wealthy borrow against their stock portfolios while claiming no income. Rewrite the inheritance rules. Raise corporate tax rates. Every American should own a piece of A.I… trickle down has failed. Stop pretending otherwise. Democratize the 🇺🇸 economy to save our democracy.”

Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom
It’s time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract.
10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed.
The system is fundamentally broken.
The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans.
It’s time for an economic reset.

Sen. Chris Murphy just introduced legislation to make the minimum wage equal a living wage at $25/hour. That’s what full-time work actually requires to cover the bills. Full-time work should never equal poverty. No worker should grind 40 hours per week just to fall behind.

According to LEAKED documents, Trump’s ballroom which was supposed to be free to taxpayers is set to cost us $300,000,000.
The East Wing is a disaster, the Reflecting pool is a disaster, and the Iran Deal is a disaster. American taxpayers can’t catch a break.

Donald wakes up. Commits a crime. Uses bathroom. Commits a crime. Shower. Crime. Breakfast. Crime. Nap. Crime. Meeting. Crime. Stops crime to commit a new crime. Nap. Resumes original crime.

Sleep. Crime. Repeat.

While you were reading this, he committed a crime.

 

Supreme court nominees lied under oath.
They testified that Roe was settled law. They are almost as criminal as Trump, it’s pretty close.
Today marks four years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, stripping millions of their right to reproductive care. This decision set our country backwards and put countless lives at risk.
Everyone deserves the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies. We’ll keep fighting.
We must codify Roe v. Wade into law.

Judge blocks Trump admin’s database of Americans’ Social Security numbers and citizenship status.
U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said states have used inaccurate data to wrongly identify Americans as non-citizens and purged them from voter rolls.

“NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HOUSING”. ~ PRESIDENT TRUMP TO SPEAKER JOHNSON

Trump says our taxpayer dollars are to stop a war he started and fix a pool he contaminated.

ESSAY Nav Toor @heynavtoor

A philosophy professor at UC Berkeley built one of the most useful tools on the internet.

Not a developer. Not a startup founder. Not a tech company. A philosophy professor named John MacFarlane.

He wrote it in Haskell. In 2006. He still maintains it today. Twenty years later.

It is called Pandoc. The Swiss Army knife of documents.

You give it any document in any format. It converts it to any other format. One command. Seconds.

Word to PDF. Done.
Markdown to PowerPoint. Done.
LaTeX to Word. Done.
HTML to ePub. Done.
Jupyter notebook to PDF. Done.
Word to Markdown. Done.
PowerPoint to Markdown. Done.
Excel to Markdown. Done.

50 plus formats. Any direction. One tool.

pandoc thesis.docx -o thesis.pdf

That is it. One line. Your 300-page thesis converted. Formatting preserved.

Here is what this replaces:

A PhD student at Berkeley converting a thesis from LaTeX to Word. By hand: 6 hours. Pandoc: 3 seconds.

A novelist in Brooklyn converting a manuscript to ePub for Kindle. By hand: two days. Pandoc: one command.

A startup in Chicago migrating 200 HTML blog posts to Markdown. By hand: a full week. Pandoc: 4 minutes.

A professor at MIT turning 200 Markdown lecture notes into a PowerPoint deck. By hand: 2 hours. Pandoc: one command.

Here is what online converters charge for the same work:

Zamzar: $25 a month.
CloudConvert: $8 a month.
Smallpdf Pro: $15 a month.
Adobe Acrobat Pro: $239.88 a year.

Every one of them uploads your documents to their servers. Your thesis. Your manuscript. Your private notes. Sitting on someone else’s machine.

Pandoc runs on your laptop. Nothing uploaded. Nothing sent anywhere.

44,997 stars on GitHub. GPL-2.0 license. Version 3.10 shipped June 4 2026.

Here is the wild part.

Pandoc powers R Markdown. Pandoc powers Jupyter Book. Pandoc powers Quarto. Every time you export a notebook to a PDF or render a research report, Pandoc is probably running underneath.

The standard of document conversion on the internet was built by one philosophy professor in his spare time.

In 2006, John wanted to write his lecture notes in a lightweight format and export them to Word, HTML, and PDF. He had never written a line of Haskell in his life. Pandoc was his first Haskell program.

He has shipped 14,505 commits since then. He co-wrote the CommonMark standard. He still teaches philosophy at Berkeley. He still ships Pandoc himself.

Microsoft did not build it. Adobe did not build it. Google did not build it.

One philosophy professor. Twenty years. Forty-five thousand stars.

Your documents. Your formats. Your machine. One command.

The week you used to lose to file conversion is back in your hands.

The 12 richest billionaires in the world now own more money than the poorest half of humanity.
That is 12 people against about 4 billion.

WORDS MATTER Words are important.
Men on the Epstein list did not “have sex” with minors. They RAPED children.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

TRUMP CREATED A CRISIS:
Congress just passed Elizabeth Warren’s HISTORIC and bipartisan housing bill – but Trump REFUSES to sign it. It would stop corporate giants from outbidding you and resolve housing affordability.
The housing crisis is on HIM.

The Trump administration has removed federal protections for the habitat of the endangered whooping crane.
Only 500 whooping cranes remain.

Undue Medical Debt

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and his wife, Miranda Kerr, partnered with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt
to erase over $550 million in unpaid medical debt across California.

The generous donation unburdens approximately 261,000 Californians, with recipients scheduled toreceive notification letters in mid-July.

Here are the key details of the medical debt relief initiative:

• The Impact: $550 million x$10 = $5.5 million direct donation enabled Undue Medical $1,000 Debt to abolish half a billion dollars in unpayable health bills.
• The Beneficiaries: An estimated 261,000 low-income families and individuals struggling with rising healthcare costs throughout California.
• The Process: Debt is purchased in bulk from collection agencies and hospitals for pennies on the dollar, after which the nonprofit notifies recipients out of the blue that their debt has been cleared.
• Notification Timeline: Beneficiaries will begin receiving branded notification letters in their mailboxes in mid-July.
