What is the reason congress is getting briefing on Tuesday? Why not today or Monday? And while we are on the subject, it is insane that instead of talking to the American people, he goes to his privately owned social media platform to post a pre-recorded video. While slurring his words.

I sincerely hope "rein in" means something a bit more substantial than what's on, or rather *not on*, the linked page.

AI is coming so fastβ€”& in midst of a literary & media collapse+scholarly crisis it acceleratesβ€”that thisrough division of labor (description and solution), never stable, has largely been lost. Leading some solvers, I think, toward premature β€œsolutions” in the form of acceptance of inevitability.

Too many β€œmiddle ground” AI argumentsβ€”β€œI have concerns, too, but we have to adapt”—proceed from what is to me a peculiar embrace of β€œinevitability” which seems to be magical thinking, a way of depoliticizing the political, of self-soothing in the face of an overwhelming challenge.

Everything Trump has done in his first year plus in office--Venezuela, tariffs, Iran, Cuba, and just the entire tone and culture of wildly unstable reactivity based on personalist whims--has eliminated trust in the US that can simply never be regained. It's one thing to elect a rogue president once.

Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.

Yes, I criticize the Democrats. We know the Republicans are evil bastards. They don't pretend not to be evil bastards. I'm criticizing the people who should know better, the ones who text me every 45 minutes asking me for money.

What if Congress decided to go to work tomorrow? How many of us have worked weekend jobs or come in for a weekend when there's an emergency?

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork.

The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

I mean he's a nutjob in his own right, but Rand Paul is 100 percent correct about Trump's War with Iran. #IranWar

Dems can file impeachment articles. Make the GOP vote on them, and vote, and vote... Make them have to own Trump, and lose the opportunity to do anything else with their majority.

That's the kind of thing opposition resistance should have been doing. Not carrying on like everything's normal.

If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.

Can't believe we're finally retaliating against the random buildings and innocent Iranian civilians who have tormented the United States for so long

He’s at war with Iran, Minnesota, and Venezuela.

He’s threatening war with Denmark, Canada, Nigeria, Somalia, etc.

He’s murdered 137 guys on boats for fun.

He’s sold countless pardons.

He’s covering up an FBI interview of a teen girl who says he raped her.

This is one guy! And a partial list.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

I teach at a university that takes in members of the armed forces in our graduate program. I could speak volumes to the mutual benefits accrued.

The Secretary is making a mistake of Biblical proportions.
