Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

It doesn't have to be a cancer but one example that AI will NEVER do is "understand" (key word here) a human being's mood differences on a Friday night compared with one's mood on a Sunday night

THIS is why our electricity costs are rising and Big Tech is destroying the earth?? Seriously? To make money fooling 10s of millions into thinking they are conversing with a human being about something they should be actually be talking to a mental health expert about?

I'm still processing that she has Carte Blanche with OUR money to outfit a massive gang of Nazi thugs.

Cowards? Absolutely, but also dealing with their consciouses because they know what they are doing is so morally wrong, so wrong, in fact, that they sense it is probably illegal so yet another reason to hide themselves for the future when actusl justice returns on this country.

To MAGA, this is merely the pain that Trump said a few people would experience until his "greatest policies ever" took effect. They are a inhumanly sick as he is.

Excellent point. This guy refuses to read the room, let alone restrain his religious conservatism, when formulating ideas.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says β€˜yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Running for office to avoid prison.

And admitting it.

Let’s vote for people who run for office to do good.

It's a Sisyphus hill type push but its a start and hopefully not an immediate roll back down to even greater wealth disparities

Those ICE gorillas, 3 of them fully armored and with serious automatic weapons, taking on a barefoot 120 lb women after smashing into her car. Thank God they had their 10x Red Bulls beforehand - or was it crystal methamphetamine just like the Nazis stayed pumped up on?

Does the truth and hard facts just hit a dense mass inside her brain and disintegrate into nonsense while she keeps up an appearance of listening?

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Politics supersede everything even remotely associated with this administration - problem is, those politics only serve to either enrich the president, to allow him to take vengeance on whom he hates which also serves as read meat for MAGA.

We cannot let this become normal.

Read this yesterday and I give the #NYTimes credit for sticking its neck out; just waiting for a Trumpian post filled with vengeful lies about the findings and the Times in general. But the article title was wrong as the data they show says YES! of their question, "Are We Losing Our Democracy?"

Finally Dems holding strong. The analogy of Dems historically bringing knives to a gun fight isn't quite right. To me, it was Dems ready for a gentlemanly boxing match and each time, the Republicans would leave their corner and immediately kick the Dems squarely in the crotch. GOP fights dirty!

Amazing how far we have come in 10 years, let along 9 months. Half the country does not want honest nor wise men (or women), just entertainers that will punish the 'Honest and Wise Men"

I was in graduate school then and got gentrified out of 3 apartments. I was also a shift supervisor at the Food Coop. THAT has changed, but my gf and I won a Halloween costume party there one year :)
