"After Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff puzzlingly went full Trump suck-up right before Dreamforce, and then tried to walk his remarks back, the conference just brought in a surprise very special guest, Trump fundraiser and crypto czar David Sacks. Sacks, who infamously hosted a Trump fundraiser in SF, was not an announced speaker (wonder why!), and the Examiner merely says that Benioff sat down for a fireside chat with Trump donor and advisor David Sacks."
"A trove of messages from the leadership of the Young Republicans has leaked, in which senior leaders referred to Black people as monkeys and the watermelon people, openly supported slavery, joked about putting people in gas chambers, and fantasized aloud about raping their female political enemies. [Politico] The Trump administration once again bombed a boat off Venezuela, killing six people, and claimed the vessel was a drug trafficking boat while offering no evidence of this. [CBS News]"
