Isn’t it funny how the ‘Department of Defense’ is now the ‘Department of War,’ yet we still call companies ‘defense contractors’ because it sounds better for Congress to justify funding. Language shapes perception. Meanwhile, these companies are making billions supplying weapons of war. 🔄

She is unwell; she needs some help. She has great insurance, too.

transcript of a NYT podcast ad: This is A.G. Sulzberger. I’m the publisher of The New York Times. I oversee our news operations and our business. But I’m also a former reporter who has watched with a lot of alarm as our profession has shrunk and shrunk in recent years. Normally, in these ads, we talk about the importance of subscribing to the Times. I’m here today with a different message. I’m encouraging you to support any news organization that’s dedicated to original reporting. If that’s your local newspaper, terrific — local newspapers in particular need your support. If that’s another national newspaper, that’s great too.

‘Unbelievably dangerous’: experts sound alarm after ChatGPT Health fails to recognise medical emergencies Study finds ChatGPT Health did not recommend a hospital visit when medically necessary in more than half of cases

"In 51.6% of cases where someone needed to go to the hospital immediately, the platform said stay home or book a routine medical appointment..." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Good lord, he's dumb.

Thanks for that.
Allowed to leave isn't the same as being evacuated, though, not in a war.

And this was after she sent out photos in
violation of the rules.

Yes; let me see if I find the clip.

I want to know if they evacuated State Dep't personnel from embassies and consulates.

That “State Department” jpeg telling everyone to leave, essentially, Western Asia might be official or might be not but disseminating this kind of warning this late in the day with no actual logistical plan and via social media instead of the official emails State operates is … suboptimal

No to Moulton.

Bernie Sander's proposed super tax on the wealthiest 0.1% of Americans is a huge hit.

I mean, who could have predicted that handing over the deadliest military in history to one of the most abusive, corrupt, laziest, incurious, and self-obsessed men in American history during the fall of the empire would be a bad idea

You can get PhDs and write nuanced scholarship and give talks around the world and train diplomats- but in this country you'll always just be a suspect Palestinian.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Don't like that!

NYT: In plunging into a mideast conflict, Trump gambles his presidency.

What does “gambles his presidency” mean? What does he have to lose?

In the immortal words of Bea Lillie:

"Get you, you're stinking."

Nancy Mace Is So Toxic That Her Entire Staff Ditched Her The Republican representative is reportedly so horrible that her office has seen 100 percent staff turnover.

Maces entire staff quit her first term due tonher toxic behavior

And Kagan said so in her dissent: "But the Court...limited its review to the equal protection issue: It would not even hear the parents out on their substantive due process claim"

The migrant workers/slaves who built the city is geopolitics. The dirty money, the sanctions evasion, the uneasy relationships with neighbours, the war UAE funds in Sudan... Anyone living there is exposed to geopolitics. Just now they can't pretend otherwise.

odd, the “military service” section is missing from his Wikipedia page

Frame from campaign ad by Rep. Dan Goldman. His face full on center frame under which is the caption in all caps “ABOLISH ICE”

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Hillary Clinton has bigger balls than James Comer could ever dream of having.

She ran circles around him, his ragtag bunch of dimwits, and did it with a smile on her face.

She wanted the media at her deposition.

He didn’t.

Now we know why.

Jail; jail is good, too.

214. The Court's (Selective) Impatience is a Vice The only theme uniting Monday night's twin grants of emergency relief is the Republican appointees' willingness to upend long-settled limits on the Court's power when, but only when, they *want* to.

As I explain via the latest “One First,” the only theme that unites the Supreme Court’s (unrelated) grants of emergency relief Monday night in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases is what might be called “selective judicial impatience.”

And that’s *not* a good thing:

Heated Exchange between Hillary Clinton and Nancy Mace
