The Senate is about to vote on handing a national forest over to a foreign corporation. A Chilean mining company wants to develop a copper mine upstream from the Boundary Waters, a pristine wilderness. The GOP has to choose between a foreign corporation and their constituents.
BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk. The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision. The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.
In March 2026, the USA became the only country to vote against a United Nations document affirming global women’s rights.
Fuck that noise!
Mackenzie Scott has donated about $19B or more to charity vs
Lauren Sanchez has donated about $19B or more to her plastic surgeon
All wives are not the same.
John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump’s last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court.
Trump has pardoned “more healthcare fraudsters [the ones who take advantage of dying people] than any Administration in American history.”
This is a major scandal.

Trump: “I don’t think the pope should be getting into politics.”
Also Trump: “Meet my personal spiritual advisor, Paula White.”
Peak hypocrisy: telling the pope to butt out of politics while your own pastor’s on the fucking payroll.
MONEY
$158 billion of illicit activity was conducted via crypto last year 2025.

THE LEFT HEMISPHERE
IS NOT AS INTELLIGENT AS THE RIGHT
Why is the brain split in two?
Dr. Iain McGilchrist’s 30-year answer is eye-opening.
We need two opposite kinds of attention at once. Left hemisphere: narrow, laser-focused on grabbing what it wants. Right hemisphere: broad, open, vigilant — watching the entire living world so you don’t become lunch while chasing yours. When the left dominates, life feels fragmented, mechanical, and empty. When the right leads, everything feels connected, alive, and meaningful. McGilchrist warns we’ve let the left hemisphere take over — and beauty, wonder, and purpose are quietly disappearing. Have you felt the world shift between feeling flat and mechanical… versus vividly alive and connected? What changed your attention?

https://x.com/ianbremmer Ian Bremmer’s firm writes the risk report every major hedge fund, bank, and government reads before making decisions.
He doesn’t do hot takes. He does FORECASTS.
And buried under a 90-minute discussion with Steven Bartlett, he dropped this bombshell:
Anthropic built a model so powerful it could hack every bank, power grid, and water system on Earth.
They didn’t call Congress.
They called Jerome Powell and Scott Bessent directly.
Within hours, every major bank CEO was in an emergency meeting.
Jamie Dimon called it a “five alarm fire.”
No hearings. No votes. No public debate.
A private company detected a threat, called two people, and the US financial system reorganized around it overnight.
That’s not a “government.”
And this is the pattern nobody’s connecting:
Michael Dell just moved $6.25 BILLION to 25 million American kids using federal infrastructure Trump’s team built for him. Government does the accounting. Dell gets the PR.
Jeff Bezos just came out of retirement with $6.2 billion to build “AI for the physical economy.” 100 researchers. Day one. No board. No IPO. Just: go.
Jensen Huang told Joe Rogan that CUDA, the single technology that made AI possible, was built because ONE guy at Nvidia believed in it when the stock crashed 83%. Nobody voted on it. Nobody approved it. He just did it.
Elon has Starlink turning wars on and off in Ukraine.
None of these decisions went through a legislature.
None of them were debated on CNN.
None of them were on any ballot.
In Bremmer’s own words:
“The most important new global leaders aren’t countries. They’re technology companies writing their own rules.”
And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
There are two economies running in parallel right now:
Economy A is the one you see. Elections. Tariffs. Tweets. Midterms. Iran. Congressional hearings where senators ask Mark Zuckerberg how Facebook makes money.
Economy B is the one that actually decides things. 5 CEOs, 3 central bankers, and a handful of billionaires in group chats and private dinners, rerouting trillions and deploying technology that rewrites physics, biology, and labor.
Economy A is theater for the 99%.
Economy B is where the 1% already live.
And the gap isn’t closing.
Bremmer’s real warning wasn’t about China or Trump…
It was this:
We’re heading toward a split between “empowered hybrid individuals” with AI as a core relationship, and people we “won’t even treat as human beings anymore.”
Not different classes.
A different SPECIES.
This is a forecaster who advises Goldman, BlackRock, and the White House telling you the taxonomy of humanity itself is about to fork.
Meanwhile the public is fighting about who’s going to win the midterms.
Trump is a symptom. Mdani is a symptom. Farage is a symptom.
They’re all reactions to a system average people can feel has already left them behind, but can’t articulate why.
But the why is simple:
The people making the decisions that will define the next 50 years of your life stopped asking for permission.
They stopped running for office.
They stopped filing quarterly reports on what matters.
They just build, deploy, and inform the government after.
