We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

among all the other demented, dangerous and degenerate aspects of this — it amounts to declaring that the US is actually at war against the Jewish state, not alongside it.

What differentiates Trump from his predecessors is his total inability to conjure the pretense of at least pretending to publicly care about pretense. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Oil and charcoal on canvas, abstract cubist bodies piled together. Description from MOMA site: "With its varying degrees of finish—you can see traces of charcoal and sections of blank canvas—and vast network of undulating lines and geometric shapes, Picasso seems to have obscured legibility in favor of generating a rhythmic abstraction. As if questioning the ability of painting to represent war, he created a shifting, spectral vision."

Picasso's depiction of a fascist massacre, a murdered family unceremoniously tangled together under a dining table.

I would say we should remember the "Donald the Dove" pundits who pitched him as some anti-war candidate the same way we remember the idiots who helped build up support for the Iraq War, but the latter are still employed and often also the former.

Was speaking more to wording that makes it sound like *all* Dems & *all* Repubs were united in effort to protect interests of monied class despite surface disagreement. (No doubt some were!)

Binance’s MAGA-Branding Strategy The world’s largest crypto exchange often operates beyond the reach of the law. Now its helping to enrich the Trump family.

Sen. Blumenthal of Conn wrote to Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng demanding “records and information related to Binance’s role in Iranian money laundering and its repeated failure to prevent illicit use by sanctioned entities, terrorist organizations, and other criminal actors.”

Brace Yourself for the AI Bubble
Are we watching an AI revolution, or a slow-motion economic disaster? Brace Yourself for the AI Bubble

OpenAI just raised $110B from huge tech companies like Amazon and Nvidia — from whom the artificial intelligence start-up buys its computing power.

It's yet another circular deal that begs the question: is the AI bubble about to burst? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxBHxpMFXA

In Trump’s Case for War, a Series of False or Unproven Claims

This is a serious and seriously reported sounding of the shallowness and hollowness of the Trump war machine’s pretexts for attacking Iran.

Good fucking morning to everybody except the ICE agents who kidnapped a blind man, realized they had no basis to deport him, and then released him five miles from his home. He died, scared and alone, just trying to find his way back to his house. That’s evil.
