#Trump admin seeks to halt #SNAP #food #aid payments after a #CourtOrder

Trump’s admin asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a #US govt #shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.

#Billionaire is a mental disorder.

Cuz when you’re a #billionaire, who cares about pinching #pennies?

#US #penny production ends

Pennies are drying up faster than retailers anticipated following Trump's decision earlier this year to halt production of the one-cent coin. #Retail groups…are frustrated by the lack of guidance from the #Trump admin & lawmakers, forcing them to round down to avoid angering customers & violating laws in some states—potentially costing high-volume businesses significant #money.

#billionaire and #Trump mega #donor Timothy #Mellon “contributed” $130 million to the #US #military to help pay #troops during the #GOP shutdown. Trump praised him as “a great #patriot,” but the math doesn’t lie: $130 million covers less than 7 hours of the #military payroll or around $100 per soldier. “That’s 6.7 hours of pay for our troops." Mellon also gave #trump $53 million for his #texas #borderwall https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/us/politics/timothy-mellon-donation-troops.html

@EUCommission free movement of capital has become the #billionaire takeover and I don't believe it's any good any more.
The state as the democratic cornerstone cannot function with #billionaire economy. So free movement of capital must be replaced with new guardrails

Holy crap it was this completely insane freak who gave #Trump $$ supposedly for the #military.

#TimothyMellon, a reclusive #billionaire & a major financial backer of Trump, is the anonymous private donor who gave $130 million to the US government to help pay troops during the #shutdown, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A while ago I posted a thread about him.
I’ll boost it.

He is scary.

The document, partially the brainchild of the #billionaire financier #MarcRowan, says that #schools are “free to develop models & values” other than the ones the #Trump admin proposed if they choose to “forego federal benefits.” And the government had dangled the possibility of “multiple positive benefits” for schools that agreed, including “substantial & meaningful federal grants.”

I made a #mastodon #list just for #news sites I follow (which are still mostly #Flipboard, but good on 'em for being in #fedi at all), and it's so hard not to rewrite many of the headlines I see them using, like *anybody anywhere* doesn't see the bullshit fascist rhetoric each one is soaked in.

But then I realized there's no end to it, I could be rewriting these all day!

Ugh.. How to de-consolidate #journalism again? How do we evict all the #billionaire colonizers, and go back to #Democracy?

Peter Thiel Wants Everyone to Think More About the Antichrist

> During appearances, the billionaire has offered his analysis on technology, government and a biblical perspective on the end times

> Peter Thiel, the billionaire investor in data, AI, defense and weapons development technology companies, wants everyone to think more about the end of the world.

> For about a year now, Thiel has been publicly laying out his understanding of biblical prophecies and the potential for the rapid advance of technology to bring about an apocalyptic future.

Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel

> One of the world’s most powerful technology leaders has reportedly warned that regulating artificial intelligence risks hastening the coming of the Antichrist.

> Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire who co-founded Palantir, the data analytics group, and PayPal, the payments operator, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week.

> Thiel, a former donor to #DonaldTrump and mentor to #JDVance, the vice-president, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in #AI, risked courting the devil, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people who attended the event.

> #Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the #UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from US technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit.

> The Ministry of Defence is expected to spend up to £750 million on Palantir’s AI technology in return, which could help identify targets on the battlefield in any future war.

> The deal has prompted concerns that it could be at the expense of British companies and jobs.

> The Times has previously reported on Thiel’s devout #Christian views and their mingling with his business interests and how he is among several #SiliconValley figures who have been speaking more openly about their faith. https://archive.is/2025.09.25-151156/https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/palantir-founder-peter-thiel-antichrist-lectures-religion-qzmpth35t #artificialintelligence #PeterThiel #conservative #billionaire #PayPal
