I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Here’s video of the incident

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

So that means we pray for Dolly Parton.

I am going to go light some incense and briefly chant.

Literally unconstitutional; Congress has the power of the purse under Article I. Trump is trying to create a personalist regime where every dollar of federal spending is allocated at his whim.

Ten years and five months apart

Well that's not how appropriations work at all

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

Newest big U.S. coal-plant offline until 2027 The newest major coal-fired power plant in the U.S. is expected to be offline until March 2027 after a major failure in April.

It’s a good thing Texas installed so much reliable solar, wind, and battery capacity to shoulder the load in the event the state’s unreliable coal generation suffered a catastrophic failure.

Because apparently it did.

Schmitt: "Let's just call it out. We need a cleansing here. Let's just be truthful about what's happening. This left-wing political violence is not a both sides thing. It's not."

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Guys like this is exactly why phrasing like “stay woke” came about

My argument is that until LLMs do something more useful than they do accurately, they shouldn't have been rolled out the way they were and that in particular, ChatGPT for all was bad, actually.

The only thing I’d add as they are both debating an impossible premise, the antis are basically arguing for uninventing the technology (impossible), while the pros are arguing for outsourcing everything to it (also impossible)

they can't be destroyed, no one coded the software, and there is nothing which makes it illegal because no one imagined that this was possible before maybe five years ago

only one influential faction that styles itself center has for its project basically return to as things were, before tumultuous changes. its project is a return to Clintonism, or Obamaism (are they synonyms?). they may be wise or unwise, but if the word has any meaning they are reactionaries. /fin

an interesting fact of our moment is that the only political faction who are literal reactionaries are the people who style themselves centrists, moderates. 1/

we literally fought the revolutionary war over shit like this

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

“No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”

Someone asked me a little while back if I would seek Newsom’s endorsement and I told them, “nah, I’m good”

My most bipartisan take is, fuck this guy

i just want a governor who’s constituents are californians, not 70 iq swing voters in pennsylvania

This is a very good post. If you want to work out your block list, check the quote posts.

It would be super cool if when they said this stuff, the interviewer pointed out that we don’t actually have to speculate. We have polling, and it says residents oppose these deployments by HUGE margins.

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

This is awful but the constant leaks and eventual fall will be extremely funny.
