We need Congressional investigations into civilian deaths caused by faulty AI, not luxury trips by Chuck Schumer-tied crypto & AI lobbyists.

This kind of nonsense from Democrats (in the middle of multiple crises!) is why I’m running for Congress. We need a real opposition party.

I so WISH @chrismurphyct.bsky.social knew that Markwayne Mullin, who'll get a Senate Committee hearing next week, is the guy who injected the lie that Maduro sent Td'A gangmembers to steal the 2020 election into Trump's veins.

Iowa angles on Iran war; governor's race and legislative news March 9 edition of "KHOI's Capitol Week"

I sought comment from Iowa National Guard about @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social's story.
They told me: “The Iowa National Guard does not use this kind of language or invoke religious prophecy in connection with military operations.”

Emission Accomplished "We've already won," Trump says

Emission Accomplished

"We've already won," Trump says

(I don’t know how @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social writes this so brilliantly without completely losing his mind, but the fiercely-burning righteous anger could be the release valve that saves him … and us all)

Something I think about a lot: virtually all concrete, practical wisdom about energy grids was developed at a time when there was no energy storage at any kind of scale. The introduction of storage *fundamentally changes* the basic dynamics of the grid in a way that renders much of that CW moot.

Earlier, I posted about the Gámez-Cuéllar family’s detention, brought to light by TX CD-15 candidate Bobby Pulido & independent journalist, Cecilia Ballí. @jcfrias.bsky.social has more on the story and why it’s time for Monica De La Cruz to go.

Serious question: If you are allegedly so much smarter than everyone else in realizing that politics is meaningless and nothing can possibly change, then why are you also spending most of your finite time alive logging onto websites like this to post comments about politics?

In a story you won't read anywhere else — not WSJ, not FinTimes, not Economist, NOWHERE ELSE — @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social lays out why deregulation is at the root of this weekend's oil-price madness.

Schumer called for tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to bring down gas prices.

It’s a red herring.

NEW: Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s nominee to run DHS, allegedly helped facilitate a 2024 election-computer hack…

…and connected election-conspiracy theorists first to Susie Wiles … and Elon Musk …

…and eventually Trump, convincing him he was right about 2020 being stolen.
