This is why I am glad I still have my own copy of the Constitution, they can never edit my hardcopy.

Yep, just include "&udm=14" in your search and it filters out the AI results.

1/DOJ is investigating whether Obama officials violated fed’l law while investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 election. Revisiting 10-year-old events, thoroughly investigated by a special counsel appt’d by Trump & a GOP-led Senate Cmte w/out any prosecutions smacks of political interference.

Do journalists and other writers, like me, who had our copyrights violated to train their LLM get stock options too? Otherwise, nope.

So Rep Cory Mills doesn't seem like a very nice guy.

Yea, other than legalizing medical cannabis and releasing the Epstein files, nothing else polls this high.

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.

Any new sittings or updates? My wife and I have been sitters for over a decade and that is the worst fear right there.

I'll be in SF for a sit on Thursday and happy to keep an eye out if Wily is still MIA.

This might sound silly now but remember, the US originated the war on drugs domestically and then through the UN made it global.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats β€œfleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

California, by definition, cannot be a gerrymander because we currently have an independent redistricting commission which has actually cost democrats seats out here.

Add open primaries, public funding for elections, and proportional representation and I think you've got a pretty comprehensive list of needed reforms.

I had the pleasure of meeting him and working with him on the Prop 19 campaign in 2010 then again as a teacher at Oaksterdam, one of my favorite bosses I ever worked for.

One of the lesser known heroes folks have to thank for adult use cannabis legalization in the US. Between founding Oaksterdam and sponsoring the Prop 19 campaign he had a big role in getting us to where we are today.

They cheat at golf.

They cheat on wives.

They cheat in elections.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

I love the (usually older white men) who post things that are clearly an attack on your person/ideas, and when you call them out for that default to "why are you being so bitchy?"

I dunno man, maybe because some old white dude I have never met came at me at an 11/10 from left field.

Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future'll bring
When we’re living in gangster times.

Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future'll bring
When we're living in real gangster times.

Great. Trump will just send him back to Ecuador in exchange for the government letting him build a golf course on the Galapagos.
