Just a Reminder, a Hooker and a Con Man are Running America
Republicans only govern for the top 1%
How much does it cost us, the tax payers to become a fascist country? #CantAffordTrump

Jun 8 Velshi: “What if I told you this?
https://x.com/Emolclause/status/2064047564161490976
The Trump administraction had ALREADY spent 50 TIMES that much in taxpayer money to build his ballroom? What if I told you Trump had already taken $50 billion out of the U.S. treasury and spent it, all as part of what looks very much like a pay to play scheme to finance his vanity project? And I’m not making this up, a brand new report from the government watchdog group Public Citizen looked into the private donors who are supposedly funding the Trump ballroom as a gift. Guess what their investigation found? ‘More than half of the publicly identified donors…have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more $50 billion during the past six months.’ The report also found that most of the same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing and that some have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term.”

This is Trump’s Watergate Moment.
Democrats furious after Bondi briefing on Epstein files
For months the Vice President, White House Chief of Staff, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel and other top officials colluded in the Situation Room to break the law and BURY the Epstein investigation. This is what went down https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/18/politics/video/melanie-stansbury-bondi-epstein-lead-jake-tapper

There is no watergate moment coming.  Those types of republicans don’t exist anymore. That sort of media doesn’t exist anymore. That sort of journalism doesn’t exist anymore. That America doesn’t exist anymore.

Bill Gates was deposed in the Epstein case today.
Rep. Burchett outside: “He’s very well coached. He did look worn down and stressed. But if I was his attorneys, that’s exactly how I’d coach him to be in front of his crew.” He has some very good attorneys.

Marjory Taylor Greene: If they were paralyzed and didn’t know what to do about releasing the Epstein files, they don’t deserve the American people’s trust. They should be considered traitors.
Collins: Are you saying that that that applies to the president?
Greene: I’m saying exactly that.

“Einstein Visa” sure……. Jeffrey Epstein Survivor Demands Release of Files Newsweek (05/14, Croucher) reported that a survivor of sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein urged the Trump Administration to release the case files about the disgraced financier, as it has promised to do, after weeks of delay that have frustrated those campaigning for full transparency. “Releasing the Epstein files must be an imminent objective,” Teresa Helm, who was assaulted by Epstein in the early 2000s, and is now the survivor services coordinator at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, told Newsweek. 

The New York Times, today:
Vice President JD Vance led Situation Room meetings inside the White House to prevent the Epstein files from being released.
EFTA00163412: Survivors were already calling it “an ongoing cover-up” months before today’s report.
The detail worth holding onto: Vance ran these meetings without Trump present, according to the Times. Someone decided the president did not need to know. Whether that was to protect Trump or protect Vance, either answer raises its own set of questions.

For new friends who haven’t heard this.
Donald Trump tried to pick me and a table full of girlfriends up when we were 16, in New York City staying at the Plaza, back East to look at colleges. He was very married to Ivana at the time.
He sat down uninvited and wanted room numbers. When we told him how old we were he said we were all “cute blondes” and it didn’t matter.
He is disgusting, has always been disgusting, and I haven’t appreciated him since then. I’ve been asked to tell this story more publicly by the Washington Post, I didn’t only because I wasn’t alone that day and didn’t want to intrude on anyone else’s privacy. But it happened, and it is proof enough for me that the man is a horror and a sleazebag.
Feel free to share this.
Tomorrow I’m taking my son and we’re going to my polling place.I’m going to reiterate to him why this election is so very important, with so much at stake in the world. Then I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he’s planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.

THE NAME THAT APPEARS 12,000 TIMES IN THE EPSTEIN FILES AND NO ONE WANTS TO SAY – Lynn Forester de Rothschild

The Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, the Schiffs. Century-old billionaire dynasties that thinkers from Carroll Quigley to Olavo de Carvalho identified as the de facto owners of the world.

In February 2016, Jeffrey Epstein wrote an email to Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, with a sentence that should have made the front page of every newspaper in the Western world: “As you probably know, I represent the Rothschilds.” The sentence is in the Epstein Files. It is an official document of the United States Department of Justice. And the mainstream press treated it as it would a footnote about the weather in Bermuda.
The name “Rothschild” appears nearly 12,000 times across the 3.8 million pages released in January 2026. Twelve thousand times. By comparison, “Clinton” appears at a significantly lower frequency. But in the media ecosystem that Chomsky helped build, repeating the name Rothschild in an investigative context is automatically reclassified as conspiratorial delusion. Convenient, when yours is the most cited name in the largest child sex trafficking scandal in modern history.
Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret and Epstein’s largest known benefactor, testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee on February 18, 2026. Asked about the credentials that led him to entrust Epstein with full power of attorney over his finances, he answered plainly: “His personal work for the Rothschild family in France.” He added: “Specifically, I spoke to Élie de Rothschild. He represented their whole family.” Under oath. Before the United States Congress. Wexner’s attorney was caught whispering to his client on a hot mic: “I’ll fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words.” Desperation has recognizable symptoms. <continue>

Leaked Emails Reveal The Epstein Class’ Connections Across the United Nations, Donald Trump’s Inner Circle, Ghislaine Maxwell, Russia, Israel, and more
While Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein liked the idea of holding “ownership over the ocean” (which makes up over 70% of the globe), until now, we have never been given a reason to think that TerraMar was actually going to be a new nation or “ new country” of its own. Ghislaine Maxwell then sends Paolo Zampolli a link to verify his TerraMar account and gives him a “passport” number, password, and username. At this point, Paolo Zampolli is officially a “citizen” of TerraMar. Paolo Zampolli then offers to be Ghislaine Maxwell’s permanent UN Representative, and shares that he knows a good company where she can get “real passports” done for many countries. This would corroborate Amanda Ungaro’s claims that Paolo Zampolli has made unspeakable amounts of money for years selling fraudulent passport to his friends, models, and business associates via his UN connections.

AOC on Medicare Advantage:
In theory, agents and brokers work with everyday people enrolling in a plan and are there to help them pick the best plan for their health, right?
That’s how it’s supposed to be set up.
What gets complicated is that agents and brokers are paid by health insurers for enrolling individuals in specific plans.
And so you’re supposed to have agents and brokers talking to your mom or your grandparent, saying, “We’d like to enroll you. We think this plan is what’s best for you.”
But what that person doesn’t know is that UnitedHealthcare is saying, “We’ll give you a vacation if you enroll people in our plan,” or, “We’ll give you a couple of extra hundred dollars if you enroll someone in a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, a United plan, or any number of other plans.”
And in your testimony, you stated that agents and brokers received $10 billion in this kind of compensation in 2022 alone, right?
That’s $10 billion in taxpayer money. A lot of it is being funneled through these corporations. And so that is money that is not going to care. It’s going to perks, trips to Boca, and financial incentives for brokers to enroll people out of traditional Medicare and into for-profit Medicare Advantage plans.

THE CURSE OF RECURSION: TRAINING ON GENERATED DATA MAKES MODELS FORGET
You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.
https://x.com/heynavtoor/status/2064797676475187520
You thought it was you. It is not you.

Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.

The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.

Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the “tails of the distribution.” The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.

What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.

Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.

They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.

The lead researcher put it plainly. “Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment.”

The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.

The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.

Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

The consequences of relying on AI for accurate news
Media Lab study shows that, much like how GPS has weakened our navigation skills, AI can make us worse at detecting fake news. https://news.mit.edu/2026/consequences-of-relying-on-ai-for-accurate-news-0609
