We need bold voices. We need to pick a few issues, like universal healthcare and anti authoritarianism and just hammer them

Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist A chief economist at investment giant Apollo says the top ten AI stocks are more detached from reality than the tech titans of the 1990s were. His chart is a stark warning that history is about to rep...

Gizmodo is reporting on a potential AI bubble as worse than the dot com bubble. I've been thinking about this lately as well. Lots of money thrown at AI, but where's the ROI?

According to the NYT article, he has copies of emails and text messages. But I'm sure the Repub Senators will ignore these facts when it comes to Bove's approval.

Thanks @aclu.org for filing the suit against ICE tactics. ICE should not be accosting random people on the street, because citizens do not need to show proof of citizenship. ICE should only be arresting people specified in a proper warrant. No sweeps or raids.

Mayor Karen Bass got Bovino on the phone, the idiot in charge of all these federal agents, and told him to get them out. They left shortly after, which makes me think Bovino didn't even know this was going on. Who tf is in charge?

Supply Side?!! Hey Peter, 1980 is calling. Apparently you left your brain there.

Putting RFK Jr in charge of HHS is like if they put a flat earther in charge of NASA. He represents a very fringe, frightened minority group.

My favorite sign from the #nokings protest this last weekend

From NYT, seems Trump is getting heat from conservative farmers and hotel owners?

Where are the lawsuits? Newsom said CA would file one, but I haven't seen evidence of that yet. Does ACLU have standing to file?

Well put, and this is how I explain Trump's obsession with tariffs. He doesn't care how they work, all he sees is revenue coming into the US Treasury, which he thinks is his money.

While the Trump x Musk spat is amusing, let's remember that it's not normal! The president of the US having a bitchy public spat with his top donor is just so incredible weird and stupid. Can you imagine any real president engaging in such idiocy?

That's how this admin works. Put people with very strong views wholly unfounded in any factual basis in charge of specific agencies. And Trump is the epitome of this practice with his bonkers take on our 21st century economy.

Because you can't buy Oxy for your family with a credit card?

New employees are the worst. They’re all eager, and Slack you at like 5pm

We paid El Salvador $6 million to take these 238 men. It's a contractual relationship, not a diplomatic one. We should be able to tell our contractor to return any one of them.

Hegseth gave divisions less than a week to assess hundreds of thousands of civilian employee roles. Those assessments are going to be very subpar.

Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library? An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

Political appointees have decided that Mein Kampf is more appropriate than Maya Angelou for future generations of Navy and Marine Corps officers.

It's insane to expect that Vietnam, for example, a country with a sliver of the US population, is going to purchase as much from us as we from them. Trump and Bessent didn't even bother to consider per capita when they AIed their trade calculation.

Thank you for writing this bill. Being at the whim if a single person who doesn't understand the 21st century economy is insane. Decisions that affect our economy on such a huge scale need to be made with expert input and real consideration.

Where's the money coming from being used to pay El Salvador to imprison these immigrants?

Can't figure out who's stupider, Tuberville or Mullin.

I met Elon many years ago when Tesla was launching the Model S. He wasn't "one of the most gentle creatures and sweet men". He was kind of weird and awkward, and mostly talked about the car. Didn't see signs of him going full Nazi at the time, that must be from the Ketamine.

Patel also wants to fire every FBI agent that took part in the Jan 6 investigations, which is like 75% of the force. They were investigating actual criminal behavior on federal property, much of it violent. Not investigating would have been a breech of public trust.

That's my feeling. I get that people are trying to figure out why someone would make so many stupid decisions, but at the end of the day, Occam's Razor: the most likely explanation is that Trump is an idiot.

Sell now before it dips even lower

Yep, Musk is not a likable or popular guy among the MAGA crowd. Not only do we need to make him the face of budget cuts, but we can spread the narrative that he's usurping Trump.

I came up with a pithy phrase about Elon Musk earlier that I thought was worth sharing. He's full of intellectual hubris without the actual intellect.

For writing tasks, there's a very real danger that younger folks rely on AI for their research. The problem with that is AI cannot discern truth from fiction, it just goes by a preponderance of training data. If most of it's training data says the world is flat, it will tell you the world is flat.
