The AI industry donated $28 million to Republicans over the last 2 years.

This is what they paid for.

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

With lighter sensors and computers, modern interceptor missile warheads can weigh 4-10 pounds, compared to 22 pounds in 1985. Space-based sensor systems can be similarly lighter and far more capable.
This revolution in the cost to orbit and the cost of computing power has likely hit an inflection point where it may be less expensive to build a missile defense shield than to build offensive nuclear weapons.
The U.S. builds a new ICBM for about $162 million, while a modern missile interceptor, at 110 pounds, might cost $2,727 to launch into orbit and $1 million to manufacture. Deploying 1,000 interceptors could cost $1 billion (many interceptors are needed in orbit to counter any given launch), versus $16.2 billion for 100 ICBMs, suggesting defense could be cheaper, especially with ongoing technological improvements.

Watching Mike Johnson champion a bill that will cut $715 billion from Medicaid, $300 billion from SNAP and perhaps $500 billion from Medicare

Lie about it-claiming the programs WOULDN'T be cut

And argue the legislation is "moral"

Is maybe the most perverse thing I've ever seen a politician do

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals β€” the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

New Israeli Law Allows Palestinians as Young as 12 to Be Imprisoned for Life UN experts said that the law is explicitly written to target Palestinian children.

A group of UN human rights experts is raising alarm over a recently-passed Israeli law that allows children as young as 12 years old to be sentenced to life in prison, saying that the legislation is likely a violation of international human rights law.

Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

AI agents don't read, but I do.

And call me a radical, but I don't dream of a future where society replaces actual critical analysis of the tech industry with the tech industry's own AI products

Whole lot of people think X is "crappier Twitter because there's no moderation."

No. The algorithm is fundamentally different now. If you are not a paid account pushing right-wing propaganda, your reach is a tiny fraction of what it was. You're posting in a chatroom of your followers. Nothing more.
