I'm a horse and cat lover and am married to a jewel of a man. I'm a traveler. Born and bred Californian. Ex-SDA and am grateful to be free of religion. My beliefs align with the Democratic party.
I don't think enough people are paying attention to Anthropic's lawsuit against the DoD. Hegseth wants Terminators, while Anthropic just doesn't want Claude to pull the trigger (probably for liability reasons). Dystopia is already here.

A conservative lawyer helping coordinate a Trump takeover of federal elections is pushing for the president to sign an emergency executive order that would grant him such powers.
And he’s weaponizing a bizarre 2020 conspiracy theory involving Michigan voting machines to justify the scheme.
that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world
The 17-page executive order Peter Ticktin is lobbying Trump to sign would completely upend how Americans vote and have their ballots counted in an unprecedented attempt to usurp powers that the Constitution gives to states and Congress.
When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract to operate a new detention center in Texas, it made headlines. Why?
Because the company that won the job was so small, it operated out of a single-family home in Richmond, Virginia.
ICE just bought a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia for $128.6 million.
Call it what it is: an internment camp expansion happening in town across the country.

I appreciate you and your voice and have for many years. I don't expect you to be right about everything and you don't pretend to be a prophet.bone of the things I like about your voice is that you don't rage bait
Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?
I wish when I did crimes that the only consequence was that people like the entire Democratic establishment would post "that's not legal" with a sad face emoji while quoting news stories about me doing all those crimes I just keep doing
Tom Malinowski argues in an op-ed for the Bulwark that, in response to AIPAC using Republican donor money to intervene in Democratic races, Dem leadership (including, presumably, the AIPAC-endorsed and backed Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer) should disavow the organization and refuse its support.
The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R
Nice to see another outlet picking up on the fact that a Republican candidate for governor in Tennessee confirmed to us he believes women who make their own reproductive decisions and get abortions should face the death penalty.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

I don’t think anyone acquainted with the Epstein files can deny that the Republican Party is sincerely committed to putting children to work.
NEW: Health Secretary Kennedy's allies are pushing in states to repeal school-entry vaccine requirements.
Vaccine proponents view the effort as an escalation in dismantling the nation's vaccine system:

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Yesterday, the Trump administration bombed another boat at sea, bringing the death toll of these lethal strikes to at least 128 people.
This is murder. Our leaders must demand answers and bring an end to this illegal military campaign.
Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.
He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.
If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
