A simple website flaw exposed members, political profiles, login tokens, and dating data from Peter Thiel ‘s secretive Dialog network. Dialog, a private invitation-only organization cofounded in 2006 by billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel, has spent two decades refusing to disclose its membership. That position became harder to maintain last week when Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew, known for exposing the US government’s No Fly List, found an open directory embedded in the source code of dialog.org that was visible to anyone who viewed the page. WIRED independently verified the contents and obtained the registration list for Dialog’s 2026 retreat,...

President Donald Trump’s pick for acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The sources said Pulte is eyeing to cut hundreds of jobs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Pulte’s appearance at ODNI on Thursday caught staff off-guard, including the outgoing director, Tulsi Gabbard, who was given a brief heads up on the visit. Trump himself has said...

Starfall?! Most Tesla investors have never heard of it. But this quiet SpaceX project could be one of the biggest tailwinds for TSLA in the 2030s and beyond. It is not just "another capsule." It is a 10 feet diameter, 2.5 feet tall disk-shaped, reentry vehicle designed to bring high-value payloads back from orbit safely and affordably. It weighs about 4,600lbs and is the missing piece for in-space manufacturing at scale. The first FAA-approved launch test is scheduled for June 21st 2026. Starfall’s sole purpose is to be a rapid point-to-point cargo delivery vessel. It unlocks commercial in-space manufacturing by...

After posting a video announcing that he and his wife are the subjects of a federal criminal investigation, California Governor Gavin Newsom had his office's Legal Affairs Secretary send a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Justice, demanding "all documents and records including... memoranda, emails, text messages, and Signal messages, from, to, or copying any member of the executive leadership of the U.S. Department of Justice" referencing himself or his wife "between January 20, 2025 and the present." Yes, he's using taxpayer resources in his personal legal battle. That's not at all surprising. It's also not surprising...

The Karmelo Anthony murder trial morphed from a nationally recognized criminal case to a test of whether an American courtroom can protect the integrity of a trial from online mobs. The case centered on Anthony’s fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet. On June 9, 2026, a Collin County jury found Anthony guilty of murder. He received a 35-year prison sentence. I joined “Fox Report” with Jon Scott to discuss Judge John Roach’s decision to keep cameras out of the courtroom during Anthony’s trial. Roach defended the integrity of the trial afterward, saying...

Minnesota is now the latest test site for one of the most radical election experiments in America: voting by phone. A bill introduced in the Minnesota House this spring, HF4962, would write “mobile voting technology” into state election law, defining it as an application on a mobile device used to “complete and submit a ballot” in a secure and encrypted manner. It would also allow voters in jurisdictions that authorize the technology to receive ballots, instructions, and certificates of voter eligibility electronically, then return the ballot electronically through the same system. Translated out of legislative jargon, Minnesota lawmakers are being...

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich banned from entering France this week... France joining the UK, Canada and Norway this week announcing joint sanctions aimed at Israeli nationalist settler attacks on Palestinians... On Friday France's "disinformation detection service" linked an Israeli company "BlackCore" to election interference in France, Scotland and New York City among other places. Several candidates of the Leftist "France Unbowed" LFI Party cited as targets of online smears in March' municipal election. Interference in other nation's elections also uncovered by "Virginum" France's disinformation watchdog including Scotland and New York City's 2025 election where Israeli policy critic Zohran Mamdani......

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is under fresh scrutiny after a resurfaced Reddit post appeared to show him mocking a teenage girl’s suicide attempt. The post from May 2012, obtained by The New York Post, featured a photograph of a teenage girl hanging from an upper-story window while several students attempted to pull her to safety. “A girl at my old highschool [sic] tried jumping from a window because her cousin died the day before,” the caption read. “These students saved her. I have hope.” According to screenshots circulating online, an account identified as “P-Hustle” responded with the comment: “Someone...

College is extraordinarily expensive and becoming less useful, and those who insist otherwise are working from a model of the labor market that stopped describing reality sometime in the 1990s. Four-year courses at private institutions often cost more than $70,000 a year, and it should come as no surprise that student debt has tipped over $1 trillion . This situation is ridiculous for a film student, but it is also ridiculous for a computer science graduate whose program could not keep pace with the industry it was preparing him for – and who learned more in four months on GitHub...

"I'm winning...outright...there's a tsunami of votes coming from all the people who are done with politics as usual." @spencerpratt says he's going to get over 50% of the vote in L.A.'s Mayor's race tonight & there will be no need for a runoff. "All those people I have they're not talking to pollsters. They're moms trying to dodge naked zombies with a stroller. They're walking their dog in a park and making sure their dog doesn't step on a fentanyl needle...they don't have time to talk to a pollster." VIDEO: https://x.com/i/status/2061837425375400310

In an effort to regain control over the people who work for the state government, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has ordered them to report to work at the offices the government has provided for them four days per week. "It has been four years since the pandemic ended," Newsom argued. "The original reason for allowing them to work from home--help prevent the spread of covid--is no longer valid. I've been more than patient. We need these workers to be on the job and under direct supervision to make sure they're really working." The union of California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges...

Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills told voters Monday that she will still be on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race despite having suspended her campaign weeks earlier. Mills suspended her campaign in April for financial reasons while still saying at the time that she had “the fight” to continue. On Monday, Mills posted on X, stating, “People have the impression that I withdrew or dropped out, but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” “While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else — the fight — to continue on,...

Judicial Watch is once again doing the job that California officials refuse to do. The watchdog group has uncovered nearly 873,000 inactive voter registrations in the state, raising alarms about possible fraud and the integrity of upcoming elections. According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, these names have been inactive for several election cycles, meaning they should have been purged from the rolls years ago. Fitton detailed the staggering figures to show the scale of the state’s negligence. He said that 326,608 names have been inactive for at least three consecutive federal elections, meaning the registrants have not voted or...

There has been a lot of talk about Spencer Pratt’s AI campaign ads. They’re technically not even from his campaign, they’re being made by supporters, but they’re so well done that they get a lot of attention. The newest one is very funny. These Spencer Pratt videos by @dsonoiki are better than 99.9% of political consultant ads. He does it again. pic.twitter.com/hemFACa8xZ— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) May 29, 2026In the ad, a mother arrives at a hospital with her daughter who she claims is sick. You soon discover that the ‘sickness’ she is suffering from is that she has realized that...
