Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

I think for me it’s less weakness than bald hypocrisy. They don’t fight for the values they claim to hold because they don’t hold them. They had no problem fighting their base on Palestine, fighting partners on policing, and fighting colleagues on safety net spending.

AI tools can't be trusted as experts on the First Amendment or the nuances of speech. Using AI to scour visa holders’ social media for “pro-Hamas” posts and report them to an administration threatening to deport international students for protected speech will undoubtedly encourage self-censorship.

Neguse: A member of Republican leadership supposedly told his caucus that a not a single one of them should participate in a town hall. Why? Because they are scared of their own constituents.

A global realignment in the works for years, something the Right hasn’t even tried to hide, is coming to fruition.

Oligarchs are blatantly carrying out a coup.

The Democrats make it clear what they see as the problem: the people and an imaginary “left.”

See it. Know it. We have to organize. Now.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.

It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.

If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

Putin.
