⭕️ NEW: Another US MQ-9 drone, costing between $30-40 million has been shot down, Iran’s Fars news agency says, in the southwest of the country. In mid-May 2026 briefings to the Senate Armed Services Committee, defense officials testified that the active fleet had dwindled significantly, plummeting to roughly 135 operational MQ-9 Reapers, down from an operational baseline of 189 aircraft. At least 30 MQ-9 Reapers were completely destroyed or written off during Operation Epic Fury alone - representing roughly $1 billion in damage. The Pentagon faces an immediate replenishment crisis because the MQ-9 Reaper is no longer in active mass production for the U.S. military. Manufacturer General Atomics confirmed in June 2026 that fewer than 10 brand-new MQ-9A airframes exist anywhere in global inventory.

An expose in the Wall Street Journal shows how Trump's corruption works and at what scale, using dark money in unprecedented sums: 1) $781,948,878 flowing to Trump-linked groups since Nov 2024: MAGA Inc. ($392M), the Inaugural Committee ($241M — a record), his Presidential Library Foundation ($103M), the Trust for the National Mall ($34.5M), among many others. 2) He can't run again, yet MAGA Inc. raised $390M and had $382M cash on hand as of May 31, having spent just $10.4M all year. That's unprecedented scale for a term-limited president. 3) The donors have business before his administration: Crypto. com gave $36M while pushing crypto legislation. Reynolds American (tobacco) gave $8M, including $5M right before Trump lifted flavored vape restrictions. OpenAI's Greg Brockman and wife: $25M, as the admin took an industry-friendly AI approach. 4) Legal settlements are being routed to Trump-controlled funds instead of the Treasury: Meta paid $22M and ABC $15M to his library foundation, Paramount $16 million. YouTube paid $22M to the ballroom fund. SoftBank added $50M to the library. 5) Ballroom donors like Palantir, Booz Allen, Lockheed among them, have received $50B in government contracts in recent months (Public Citizen analysis). Lockheed also paid $5M for a White House helipad. 6) Most of these groups have no legal duty to disclose donors or spending. The library foundation, Freedom 250, the Heroes Garden foundation, and Securing American Greatness ($274M revenue in 2024) release little to nothing. $780M is the floor, not the total. No one knows how this money will be used. To try to run again? For private gain? Pay for play? Either way, this is a criminal enterprise and turning this country into a kleptocracy.

Republicans got everything they needed to initiate the America First agenda and mandate with Trump as President. Instead, all you'll get is another war in the Middle East and America becoming an AI surveillance state data center.

My wife asked me, “if most Americans don’t want to combine their military spending with Israel, why is it happening?…” I said babe, because the Jews don’t give a fuck about what most Americans want… they focus on the levers of power. What the president thinks… what the billionaires think… what Congress thinks and will vote for.. In this regard, we could learn a thing or two from the Jews. For example, you could convince 100 million people a policy is good, but if you sexually blackmail 100 senators, which is more effective? Controlling the senators of course. Jews implicitly understand via their small number, that controlling the levers of power is power. The masses to them only need to be pacified or put in a constant state of choosing false dichotomies… Thus why the Jews focus so much on media control. Stop worrying about what is right and popular, and worry about what will work. Power is power.

"Israel, like any other country, had the right to defend itself against the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people." Bernie Sanders is still repeating genocidal Zionist atrocity propaganda lies that have been debunked for over two years now: 1200 "innocents" includes Israeli rape soldiers and police and many deliberately killed by Israelis themselves as part of the Hannibal Directive, Israel is not "like any other country" as it is a genocidal apartheid occupying death and rape-cult and so the resistance operation against it was wholly justified and legitimate as Bernie Sanders would say if it had been aimed at anyone who occupied and genocided his fellow Jews, but he considers Palestinians to be sub-human so they are not afforded the same rights by this Jewish supremacist lowlife scumbag. Also the Massie amendment is weak as it is not an embargo but only seeks to cut aid that also leaves the "defensive arms" and private sales entirely untouched, so even the purely symbolic move of Sanders backing it is useless.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CLEAR: NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. I strongly support this amendment. Israel, like any other

Why don't podcasters and their guests ever talk about the tens of billions of dollars Qatar and Saudi Arabia are spending in our country to influence our politics and policies, our businesses and sports, brainwash our kids, and buy podcasters and their ilk?

My efforts began when DHS agents killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti. I was disturbed to learn Google sells Cloud services to the DHS supply chain.

I resigned from Google DeepMind bc it broke its founding promise by selling AI to the military without restrictions against killer robots or mass spying. For months, I worked to stop this but watched powerful ethicists and institutions choose silence. Here's what happened. 🧵

So @RandPaul just voted to merge our military with Israel. Add him to the long list of worthless treasonous pieces of shit in govt

Fine was the ONLY Republican who voted against the SAVE America Act which would require voters to provide ID.

Throttling my reach is election interference you cunt @nikitabier cc: @elonmusk

Today in @JudiciaryGOP, I expressed support for the Congressional Records Protection Act, but it should go further. We should recognize that the Fourth Amendment requires judicial warrants to protect the privacy of all Americans.

If surveillance makes us safe, why are so many people murdered in prison? Flock cameras and the coming slave state.

When I was on Wall Street we had a customer, an odd little Argentinian man, who ran a highly endowed fund out of a single grubby office in Lima, that was about as shady as possible, probably running Venezuelan money, but he was given the green light by compliance, and was a cash machine because he was immune to price, and when he came to NYC I was tasked with entertaining him because he was a nerd, Jewish, and from Latin America, and they thought I fit since my dad was Jewish, from Latin America, and I was a nerd, so why not. But all he wanted to do was go to J&R, buy the latest computer equipment and model kits, then dinner in the same Argentinian steak house, and catch a Broadway show on the weekends to collect autographs on the playbill, which I left him alone for because his tastes were for flamboyant musicals. He was excruciating to talk to, beyond for a few minutes, a combination of eccentric, affectless, and tedious, once spending an entire meal detailing the history of sidewalk design in Latin America without any sense of humor about it being a weird thing to talk about. Then one dinner we were accompanied by an annoyingly chipper junior salesperson, who desperate for conversation, made a small joke about the Falklands War. This odd little man put down his Coke (served lukewarm at his request) and then said, blankly, "I was there." The junior salesperson, straight from a business school that had taught him to always stay positive, you know, so you could close the deal, said, "Wow. What was that like?" and then the odd little man went on a horrifying twenty minute soliloquy, again spoken flatly, about being drafted at the age of eighteen, sent to the front with little to no training and no proper gear, to sit for a few weeks, cold, wet, and hungry, stationed in a forward outpost, while bombs constantly dropped around and on them, always in terror of a British Gurkha charge, and being knifed to death (any death but that), a few taking shrapnel hits, which festered because medical attention was so slow, before early one morning, the bombs stopped, and dark figures swarmed across the field, and bullets started whizzing over them. They all surrendered, happily, with only one guy being nicked by a bullet when he thought of running, and when this odd little man finally got back to Argentina months later, he was treated badly, and called all sorts of nasty names. After he finished, the salesperson, smile still intact, said, "Well, I guess that'll make anyone anti-war!" at which point he responded, again mechanically, "I collect and build models from the war," and pulled out his phone and showed photos of a replica of the HMS Intrepid, a British ship from the war, that he had built.

Dua Lipa speaks out about the Albania protests: "I find it so inspiring to see how much people really care. You know, day after day they're hitting the streets, because the government has opened up this part of a beautiful nature reserve to a high-end beachfront development. And of course, this has been a huge story internationally because the company that's invested in the project is part-owned by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. But what I actually find concerning is the principle that the government could just change the law to remove the environmental protection without any kind of public consultation."

Every Republican Senator voted to merge our military with Israel’s military. The most America LAST thing they could possibly do, selling our military out to a foreign country. It’s absolute treason and betrayal.
