“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale

good work, John Roberts

if you conceive of a LLM as "sophisticated software" which is essentially accessing a database, you will get every policy question about LLMs wrong.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

jeffrey epstein thinks donald trump is the worst person he has ever met. he's right.

99% of Republicans understand nothing about intraleft politics. they’re still saying shit like “you won’t be so happy when BILL CLINTON is implicated will you?”

honestly i really don't like that there really is a cabal of elite wealthy pedophiles. i would very much prefer if that wasn't true.

Emails about Donald Trump's connections to a pedophile sex trafficking ring? Boooooorrrrrriiiinnnggg

Emails about John Podesta's risotto recipe? Holy shit, stop the presses

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

Yeah that’s cool man. Are we gonna get a national defense strategy? How’s our force posture review coming?

Hard to argue "Trump did nothing wrong" or "this is all just a distraction" when you're having a drop everything you are doing, all hands on deck meeting to prevent this from happening.

Counting, sorting, categorizing, and shapes maybe?

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

If Trump has been right about anything, it is that there is a deep rot in the upper echelons of American society, among people who have been put in positions of power and leadership. Trump understands that many of these people are weak, that their public commitment to civic principles can crumble under sustained pressure. In many cases, those folding have had ample resources to resist Trump’s shakedowns but haven’t been brave enough to do so. They are, in a word, chickenshit.

America’s chickenshit elites problem continues to be the biggest obstacle to fighting Trump www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
