qwant news | Trump touted Palantir on Truth Social after buying the company's stock, records show AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump bought shares of artificial‑intelligence software firm Palantir in early 2026, purchasing between roughly $247,000 and $630,000 of stock during the first quarter—seven trades in March alone totalling about $530,000—before publicly praising the company on his Truth Social platform, where he claimed Palantir’s tools had “great war‑fighting capabilities.” He later sold up to $5 million of Palantir shares on Feb. 10 and made additional sales over the next two weeks, while also acquiring sizable positions in other tech giants such as Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Workday, Oracle and Broadcom. According to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump’s investments are managed in fully discretionary, third‑party accounts that make all decisions independently, with the president and his organization having no role in selecting or approving individual trades.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Eric Trump Has Epic Meltdown at Primetime TV Host by William Vaillancourt AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Eric Trump announced on X that he will sue former White House press secretary Jen Psaki and her network MS NOW for “blatant lies” after Psaki claimed on a Wednesday night monologue that he was on the board of ALT5, was involved in a merger, and had business interests in China; Trump, an executive vice‑president of the Trump Organization, flatly denied any current or past role with ALT5, any Chinese investments, or participation in business discussions during the President’s China trip, saying he was there solely as a supportive son. Psaki’s remarks referenced a New York Times report about a possible Justice Department‑IRS settlement shielding the Trump family from audits, cited a Financial Times story alleging a fintech venture linked to the Trump family was exploring a deal with a Chinese chipmaker, and highlighted prior contracts secured by the Trump sons with the Pentagon, suggesting potential conflicts of interest. The article details both sides’ statements but contains no additional commentary beyond the dispute over the alleged business ties and the threatened lawsuit.

The New Republic | Trump Has Made Bank Off Stocks From Companies With Federal Contracts by Edith Olmsted AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump has reportedly profited from millions of dollars in stock trades involving tech firms and government contractors that benefit from federal contracts, including Nvidia, AMD, Palantir, and others, according to a financial disclosure cited by NOTUS. The filing shows he bought sizable positions in Nvidia in early February and January 2026—coinciding with the company’s AI chip deals with Meta and subsequent approvals for sales to China—while also purchasing AMD stock that was later cleared for Chinese customers, and repeatedly buying and selling Palantir shares around large Department of Homeland Security contracts and his own public calls for investors to buy the stock. In the first quarter of 2026, Trump shifted from bonds to more than 3,600 individual trades, prompting the White House to claim his family was unaware of the transactions, a stance critics denounce as blatant corruption and market manipulation by the president who oversees the very agencies awarding these contracts.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Billionaire Trump Blows Deadline to Disclose Stock Trades Worth Millions by Wiktoria Gucia AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump was fined $200 twice in 2024 for failing to disclose stock trades on time, violating a federal rule that requires any transaction over $1,000 to be reported within 45 days; the fines came after the U.S. Office of Government Ethics revealed that he had not reported several large trades. The 79‑year‑old president, whose net worth is estimated at $6.5 billion, disclosed at least $220 million in financial transactions this year, including purchases of Nvidia stock shortly before a deal with Meta that boosted the share price, and buying and selling millions of dollars in Microsoft and Amazon shares around the time the Pentagon announced plans to use their technology. Critics note that 88 percent of the public opposes elected officials trading stocks while in office, arguing that such activity creates the appearance of profiting from insider knowledge; Trump’s investments are further scrutinized because they are managed by his sons rather than placed in blind trusts, raising concerns about potential influence over his holdings.

CounterPunch.org | The Trump Tax Man Goeth by Matthew Stevenson AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article explains that the Trump family’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS—stemming from a 2019 leak of Trump tax returns that showed he often reported huge losses and paid as little as $750 in income tax—appears to be a sham designed to extract money from the government. Because the Justice Department and Treasury, which oversee the lawsuit, are staffed by Trump appointees, the case could be “settled” internally, allowing Trump to claim a massive payout and immunity from audits while his allies in the administration approve the deal. Legal experts note the suit is likely frivolous and may be dismissed on procedural grounds, but the urgency to settle comes from the risk of a judge striking it down. Ultimately, the purported settlement would grant Trump a financial windfall, protect his businesses from further IRS scrutiny, and reinforce a precedent that a president can sue his own government and negotiate a private settlement.

qwant news | The Neo-Nazi Enforcer Who Helped Build Peter Thiel’s Online Influence Empire AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Barrett Brown’s article uncovers how a loose network of far‑right actors—centered on neo‑Nazi hacker Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer and funded in part by Peter Thiel’s Palantir‑linked ventures—helped forge the online influence empire that now shapes mainstream politics. The piece traces the evolution of “memetic warfare,” a term coined by Jeff Giesea, who together with extremist Charles C. Johnson drafted a NATO‑affiliated paper detailing disinformation, sock‑puppet accounts, and harassment tactics that were first tested on white‑supremacist sites like the Daily Stormer. Leaked HBGary documents reveal that similar tactics were originally devised to attack unions, journalists, and left‑wing activists, with Palantir’s involvement later confirmed through Auernheimer’s connections to Thiel. Over a decade, these methods migrated from fringe image‑boards (4chan, 8chan) into organized campaigns such as GamerGate and QAnon, bolstered by funding from Thiel‑aligned investors and even Epstein‑linked figures, culminating in a coordinated digital “army” that blends extremist harassment with elite strategic discourse.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | I Know DOJ Is Covering for Trump on Epstein: Congressman by Erkki Forster, The Daily Beast Podcast AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. New York Rep. Dan Goldman accused the Department of Justice of “covering up for Donald Trump” in its handling of the still‑largely sealed Jeffrey Epstein files, which total about 2.5 million pages despite a law mandating their release. On The Daily Beast Podcast he argued that the DOJ’s heavy redactions and dubious privilege claims hide material that could implicate Trump—who had a long‑standing but later‑ended friendship with Epstein—in the sex‑trafficking conspiracy, citing an unredacted 2009 email showing a phone conference between Trump, his attorney Alan Garten, and a victim‑advocate, in which Trump allegedly mentioned possibly being on Epstein’s plane and that Epstein was never asked to leave Mar‑a‑Lago. Goldman, after viewing unredacted documents allowed only to members of Congress, said the DOJ’s explanations are false and urged the release of the remaining pages, while the White House dismissed his allegations as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Read more: https://www.thedailybeast.com/i-know-doj-is-covering-for-donald-trump-on-jeffrey-epstein-rep-dan-goldman/ #DonaldTrump #JeffreyEpstein #DanGoldman #JackGoldberger #AlanGarten #BradEdwards #ToddBlanche

9News | The motley crew of billionaires tagging along on Trump's China visit by 9News AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump arrived in Beijing atop Air Force One accompanied by a heavyweight delegation of U.S. business leaders and billionaires whose combined net worth exceeds a trillion dollars, including Elon Musk, Tim Cook (referred to as “Tim Apple”), Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, leaders from Apple, Boeing, Meta, Mastercard, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Micron and others, as well as filmmaker Brett Ratner. Trump announced that his first request of President Xi will be to “open up” China for these companies to make deals, hoping to revive U.S.‑China trade after recent tariffs that have slashed Chinese purchases of American goods. The entourage also sparked controversy, with Musk facing potential legal trouble for traveling abroad despite a court order, and Trump defending the inclusion of Huang after a media report claimed he had been snubbed. The trip underscores Trump’s pattern of surrounding himself with corporate titans to pursue economic and diplomatic goals in China.

Times of India | Who is Kevin Warsh, the former banker set to lead US Federal Reserve? AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Kevin Warsh, a longtime Republican economic adviser and former Federal Reserve governor, has been confirmed as the next chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve after a closely contested Senate vote (54‑45), succeeding Jerome Powell at President Donald Trump’s request. Warsh, who earned a reputation as an inflation hawk but has recently aligned with Trump’s view that AI‑driven productivity can sustain growth without reigniting inflation, will inherit a central bank facing persistent price pressures above its 2 % target and higher energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. Though he promises to keep the Fed independent despite political pressure, internal debate continues over whether rates should stay high to curb inflation or be cut to support the economy. Warsh’s resume includes investment banking at Morgan Stanley, service as an economic aide to President George W. Bush, the youngest Fed governor (2006‑2011), and current work at Stanford’s Hoover Institution; he is also noted for his ties to billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller and his marriage to Jane Lauder.

Mother Jones | The President May Settle His Own Lawsuit With Your Money by Sophie Hurwitz AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The DOJ is reportedly weighing a settlement of Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS that could channel roughly $10 billion of taxpayer money into Trump’s personal coffers; the suit, filed by Trump and his sons in January, alleges the IRS failed to halt a contractor’s illegal release of his tax returns, raising conflict‑of‑interest concerns because Trump oversees the agency he is suing and the Justice Department is led by his former personal lawyer. A potential agreement would also require the IRS to drop all current and future audits of Trump, his family and businesses, prompting Democratic lawmakers to introduce legislation barring the president, vice president and their relatives from receiving government settlement payments, a move championed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. This follows a prior effort by Trump in October 2025 to seek $230 million from the Justice Department over the seizure of classified documents and an earlier Russia‑probe investigation, which he summed up as “awfully strange…to make a decision where I’m paying myself.” Read more: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/05/the-president-may-settle-his-own-lawsuit-with-your-money/ #DonaldTrump #DOJ #IRS #ElizabethWarren #Mar_a_Lago #corruption #mojowire #politics

Mother Jones | Trump Admin. Has Up to 120,000 Pages of Documents on Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison Transfer by David Corn AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article examines the puzzling 2022 transfer of convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a medium‑security co‑ed prison to the low‑security, women‑only Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas—a facility known for amenities such as yoga classes and a puppy program and previously housing high‑profile inmates like Elizabeth Holmes. After a lengthy interview with former deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in which Maxwell praised Donald Trump, journalist Michele McGowan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for every record concerning the move, only to encounter months of delay and a claim from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that retrieving the data involved “15.8 GB of potentially responsive records”—roughly 120,000 pages that crashed the agency’s system. The BOP’s slow, understaffed FOIA office, now burdened by thousands of backlogged requests, mirrors a broader federal trend of dwindling FOIA resources and mounting delays across the Defense, State, and Health departments, prompting lawsuits by Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting to force disclosure. Meanwhile, reports of special treatment for Maxwell at the Bryan camp and political talk of a possible Trump pardon have heightened calls for transparency, underscoring the need for the Justice Department to simply explain the rationale behind her relocation rather than leaving the public to wade through an enormous, delayed FOIA request.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | DOJ Plots Giant Payout for Trump in His $10B Taxpayer Shakedown by Janna Brancolini AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a pre‑briefing settlement that could give former President Donald Trump a taxpayer‑funded windfall before a judge decides whether to dismiss his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, which he filed after leaked tax returns were released by a former IRS contractor. The judge has ordered both sides to submit briefs by May 20, and DOJ officials – led by former Trump defense attorney Todd Blanche – are said to be considering paying Trump a portion of the requested sum (potentially doubling his net worth) and having the IRS drop any audits of Trump, his family and businesses. Legal analysts warn that even if a judge later deems the settlement collusive or made in bad faith, she may lack authority to block the payment or related benefits. The case is viewed as weak, given that the contractor who leaked the returns was convicted, and similar suits have been settled without government damages, while Trump simultaneously pursues other lawsuits against the DOJ and faces additional legal judgments.
