We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

TX Dems have left the state to break quorum to fight the redistricting scam. Rep. Crockett has thoughts...

Let’s be clear.

Would be a baller move for CBS to announce that they're now reversing their earlier decision on Colbert.

Give this music teacher a raise.

Um....
I think you're conflating John Huston's boxing neo-noir FAT CITY, with William Richert's WINTER KILLS.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with him.

Surprised to see this at the New Bev. Infamously QT's least-favorite entry in the series. Maybe he'll reappraise it!

The thing to understand is that district court judges have to follow the law and Supreme Court Justices get to just make up the law.

Title, please! Sounds like a “must watch.”

And to you!

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

What? Wasn’t Sen Ted Cruz born abroad too? Should we deport him?

all you really have to do is refuse to give up so long as you are alive

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

Seriously, they're the worst!

“Neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party” Mark Copelovitch unpacks his signature phrase.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Way to taunt your pursuers on social media.

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
