The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the
American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

CDC Public Health Service physicians are being deployed to migrant detention centers. We know you face a difficult choice: go in an attempt to provide medical care or refuse to participate. If you go, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. We need proof of human rights violations perpetrated by this administration.

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka arrested at ICE facility The Democrat, who is also running for governor, was involved in a scrum with three members of Congress seeking a tour of Delaney Hall.

@replamonica.bsky.social: β€œIf they can treat three members of Congress like that, just imagine how they treat people on the street every day.”

That's right: If they would rather ARREST THE MAYOR OF NEWARK than allow him to see the conditions of those detained, what does that tell us?

SHAME.

(1/3) setting the practical questions about climate and power consumption aside, i think it’s creating an epistemic nightmare. having accurate knowledge requires consistent, reliable sources. LLMs are incapable of accurately and consistently sourcing accurate information from primary sources…

Every Democrat Who Voted to Confirm Marco Rubio Should Apologize Chris Murphy is right when he says making Rubio the secretary of state was β€œa mistake.” A very serious mistake.

Millions of people were fooled by the reputation Rubio had, the lies he told…
The ONLY β€œsaviors” are voters & our voices.

@ossoff.senate.gov glad you think this. However, WTF is holding you back from πŸŠπŸ§€πŸ‘s Impeachment based on his kidnapping of US Citizens, kidnapping children, stealing ppl off the streets, extorting law firms& Univ. His list of impeachable offenses is LONG & grows daily.

Sen. Jon Ossoff has signaled support for impeaching Trump.

On Trump's meme coin last week: β€œWhen the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense."

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.

I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Migrant Torture at Guantanamo Authorized by Trump Administration Memo If you haven't been to Gitmo, you might not recognize the implications of a brief reference in a recently revealed Pentagon/Homeland Security document

Make no mistake. That Guantanamo memo CBS recently reported on is a blueprint to torture migrants without ever having to directly, explicitly approve torture. Here’s why.

It's not rocket science. Caging humans is dehumanizing. To the caged, to the cagers, and to the society where it happens. This is why abolition is necessary.

Elon Musk's effort to slash government "led to purchasing bottlenecks and increased costs; paralysis in decision-making; longer public wait times; higher-paid civil servants filling in menial jobs, and a brain drain of scientific and technological talent."
