My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

FBI Co-Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who led the investigation, criticized the Biden administration for "focusing on other things" and said he created a multiagency team to re-examine the evidence that led to a suspect. "You're not going to walk into our capital city, out down two explosive devices and walk off in the sunset," Bongino said about the would-be bomber. "Not going to happen — we were going to track this person to the end of the Earth. There was no way he was getting away." Bongino, in a 2024 episode of his eponymous podcast, claimed that the pipe bomb was an “inside job” to stop Trump. “This was a setup. I have zero doubt,” he said last year.

Chef's kiss to @ryanjreilly.com and NBC for this sequence of paragraphs in this story about the pipe bomber

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

Mark Warner: "I hope it would remind folks that J6 was an ugly, awful day, and this administration and president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. It's that kind of picking and choosing of facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy."

Agree 💯 With Ben Stiller......

Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Either extremely confused -- or lying to the American people.

This makes my blood run cold.

Those Obamacare Subsidies Aren’t Going to Extend Themselves Unfortunately, lawmakers probably won’t end up extending them, either.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

A tweet quoting a reporter asking Trump whether Americans are impatient about affordability. Trump replies that affordability is a “hoax” created by Democrats. The image shows Trump sitting in a cabinet room looking tired or annoyed.

That’s Trump’s message to millions of struggling families. Your suffering isn't real. It's a hoax, just like the Epstein files!

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Somehow this is the worst part.

Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."
