This column illustrates the weirdest imbalance in our politics.

Do Republicans take the advice of liberal columnists? Do liberal columnists write with conservative audiences in mind?

Not really.

But our media system is flush with right-wingers writing for liberals and Dems taking them seriously.

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a β€œweakness.”

β€œDiversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

I think this is legitimately the worst delivered joke of all time. Like in all of human history. Since they invented jokes. Actually since they invented language.

Big Tech Needs $2 Trillion In AI Revenue By 2030 or They Wasted Their Capex As I've established again and again, we are in an AI bubble, and no, I cannot tell you when the bubble will pop, because we're in the stupidest financial era since the great financial crisis β€” though,...

Premium newsletter: Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft need $2 Trillion in AI revenue by 2030 or they've wasted their capex. The massive cost of building data centers and constant decay in value of expensive-to-run GPUs may make AI profits impossible to achieve.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

For my newsletter, I took a deeper look at the electoral record of WelcomePAC, a centrist group that produced that 352 page document advising Democrats to moderate once again.

Turns out the campaigns they work for aren't winning. www.burnsnotice.com/fire-the-con...

My phone still hasn't learned that I want to type "fucked" instead of "ducked," but yeah, lets use an app to determine whether or not people are sent to a concentration camp.

We're absolutely ducked.

In the AI debate, one side has Elon Musk and ICE, the other side has Guillermo del Toro and Emma Thompson.

the very pathetic truth is that all the fuckers writing 'harris lost by running on the left' op-eds would, if she had ran the exact same campaign but won, be writing 'harris won by rejecting the left' op-eds instead. they're not honest people

Being Latino in the United States Should Not Be a Crime

Being Latino in the United States Should Not Be a Crime

As is typical for Mr. Trump, he has identified a real problem β€” illegal immigration β€” but responded with a destructive solution. For decades, the United States tolerated a level of illegal immigration that fostered a sense of lawlessness at the border and frustrated many Americans, including many Latinos. The Biden administration’s porous policies worsened the situation, making possible the largest immigration surge in American history, with most of the arrivals lacking legal permission to enter the country. Mr. Trump campaigned on a promise to reverse those policies, and he has an electoral mandate to do so. At the border, he has succeeded at reducing illegal entries to the lowest levels in decades.
