This is insane... Whitney Webb exposes the history of Palantir. Palantir started as a DARPA project. It was going to completely destroy our constitutional protections so it was quietly taken out of...

EXPLANATION DEMANDED!

Tell the entire world why that is since your party controls all THREE BRANCHES! What have you done to create such mistrust? The MAGA/GOP is in total control, how have you and your party failed so miserably?

Move to Amend: From Gilded Age Trusts to Modern Tech Titans Why We Need the "We the People" Amendment."

The visual parallel between the 1889 cartoon The Bosses of the Senate—which depicted Gilded Age monopolists as "money bags" looming over lawmakers—and the photo of wealthy donors at Trump's inauguration highlights an enduring systemic challenge: the concentration of private power over public policy.

To build a democracy that has never truly existed, the "We the People" Amendment is proposed to fundamentally restructure our political system:

Establishing that Corporations are Not People: The amendment asserts that constitutional rights must be reserved solely for human beings, explicitly overturning judicial precedents—like Citizens United—that granted corporate entities the status of "people".

Decoupling Money from Speech: It seeks to establish that money is not speech. This would provide the necessary legal foundation to regulate campaign spending, preventing the ultra-wealthy from effectively purchasing outsized influence in the legislative process.

Ending Secret Influence: The amendment mandates full transparency for all political expenditures, aiming to eliminate the "dark money" that allows billionaires and tech giants to shape policy away from public scrutiny.

Building Genuine Democratic Sovereignty: Rather than merely trying to "restore" a past system, this movement seeks to construct a new framework where the government is finally, for the first time, truly accountable to the collective will of the people rather than the interests of dominant industrial or technological titans.

A little history lesson for everyone

BREAKING: Elon Musk Is No Longer a Trillionaire After His Rocket Refused to Leave Earth

Pour one out for Elon Musk. He's poor now, and by poor we mean he only has $792 billion.

The world's first trillionaire has officially been kicked out of his own exclusive club, according to Forbes, after SpaceX stock tanked following the latest failed Starship launch. Musk's net worth peaked at $1.45 trillion on June 16. Since then, he has lost nearly $700 billion, which might be the most expensive month in human history.

Seven hundred billion dollars. Gone. That's roughly the GDP of Switzerland vanishing because a rocket wouldn't turn on.

And the explanation is the best part. Musk blamed Thursday's aborted launch on the fact that "some of the engines didn't start," which is the kind of thing you say about a 1998 Honda Civic, not the flagship product of a company you just took public in the largest IPO in history. Investors apparently agreed, sending SpaceX shares on a five-day losing streak to $124, below the $135 IPO price that crowned him a trillionaire barely a month ago.

The richest man on Earth got humbled by a check engine light.

To be clear, nobody needs to set up a GoFundMe. Forbes still ranks Musk as the world's richest person, worth more than double his nearest competitors, and his remaining fortune could buy nearly eight million Cybertrucks, which is coincidentally about eight million more than anyone wants.

Still, the symbolism writes itself. The man who ran DOGE, slashed government services for working families, and lectured the country about efficiency just watched two-thirds of a trillion dollars evaporate because his own engines didn't start. He spent years telling Americans to trust the hype, and the hype had a mechanical failure on the launchpad.

The trillionaire era lasted one month. Gravity remains undefeated.
