QAA Podcast

This past week prominent right wing twitter poster, Jennica Pounds (DataRepublican), got paranoid after being handed documents by the State Department, leading to the revelation that the Pentagon is employing conservative influencers as “special government employees.” Travis details Pounds’ history and the events that led up to her legal illiteracy failure. Later we welcome back Will Sommer for his 10th appearance on the pod to discuss his reporting on the matter and what we know about these special government employee influencers and the role they may be playing in the Pentagon.

Today Liv brings the boys her best attempt at a “good news” episode without straying too far from our usual content. For our little cheat day, Liv has prepared a fun hour of discussing the investing failures of one Leopold Aschenbrenner whose AI centered investment firm, Situational Awareness, recently set a new record for the largest trade loss in history. 35 billion dollars. In Liv’s words, “this isn’t necessarily a good news episode but it is very funny”.

Travis takes Jake and Liv inside Operation Puppet Master, Homeland Security Investigations’ months-long effort to uncover the supposed command structure and funding behind Minnesota’s anti-ICE protests. Undercover agents entered meetings and Signal chats, tailed activists, and searched union and nonprofit finances. Reports released in the case against 15 activists reveal the bizarre amount of government resources poured into surveilling people in Minnesota, including one instance in which 21 agents spent two hours staking out a “de-arrest” training session that had already been canceled. The crew examines what happens when QAnon-style paranoia acquires federal badges, undercover agents, and subpoena power.
