AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

47 years is the *opposite* of imminent (which means "something that will happen soon"). These people are so stupid.

Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity.

I do not exaggerate.

Seeing people in the news industry say that articles should be AI-generated is absolutely bonkers and the antithesis of why so many of us became journalists in the first place—because we aspired to the art of reporting AND writing. I will never release AI slop under my byline.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

DEMOCRACY-ISH: The Texas Primaries, The War on Iran, and Kristi Noem Of It All

From Texas Precincts to Tehran’s Borders—How a Governance of Greed and Extremism is Igniting a Global Powder Keg

Moskowitz, Gottheimer oppose Iran war powers resolution, breaking with most Dems ‘They should just rename it the Ayatollah Protection Act because that’s what it does,’ Rep. Jared Moskowitz said

Moskowitz is one of two Dems who voted to give Trump a blank check on Iran, and regularly votes for anything he thinks Israel wants. Is that what you want? jewishinsider.com/2026/02/mosk...

Kristi Noem shot a puppy, a goat and 2 horses (that we know of). In this administration, that makes her qualified to run DHS.

Support for Abolishing ICE Hits Record High in New Poll Fifty-six percent of Americans have “little” to no confidence in ICE, a new Economist/YouGov poll found.

The Trump Regime has accomplished a lot in its first year of rule. The United States is now the most corrupt nation in the history of humanity.

Noem’s spending review has held up more than 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants and awards, Dems say Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s policy of personally reviewing expenditures of more than $100,000 has held up more than 1,000 contracts, grants and awards at the Federal Emergency Management...

Someone would ask her how is it possible that she knows nothing about this $143 million when she has to personally approve any expense over $100,000.

Go figure.

Noem: “I don’t know.”

AI can propel women forward - or set them back further As Singapore celebrates early productivity gains from artificial intelligence, there’s a conversation about trade-offs that should also be taking place: who benefits, who falls behind, and what new divides may form. Without that discussion, women will bear the brunt of the costs of AI’s adoption while receiving disproportionately fewer gains. Globally, women are more likely to work in the roles most exposed to advances in AI. The World Economic Forum finds that women are concentrated in functions that involve routine cognitive tasks that AI can already perform. Meanwhile men hold most of the roles in technology, information and media, the very sectors likely to be enhanced - not replaced – by AI. Without deliberate choices, AI’s upside will accrue to those already positioned to leverage it with the right skills, networks, and geographic mobility – likely men. Meanwhile, too many women will likely watch their roles disappear or careers stall. The signs are already there. DBS recently announced about 4,000 job cuts as AI takes over routine tasks, even as it creates 1,000 new AI-related jobs and expands staff training. Similarly, across the tech sector, companies are restructuring teams as AI tools increasingly automate compliance, content review, and other repetitive...

Hundreds of Iranians are already crossing into Turkey as the conflict escalates, while reports say Tehran is restricting its own citizens from leaving but allowing foreigners to exit. When governments start closing doors on their own people, it’s a sign fear is spreading faster than missiles.

What to watch from Trump's national AI standard President Donald Trump’s executive order on artificial intelligence promised a proposal to Congress for a national artificial intelligence law, one meant to unify U.S. policy and address industry fears that conflicting state laws could slow AI growth. More than two months later, the White House has offered few specifics on what that strategy will include, beyond preemption of certain state laws, or when it will be unveiled. Still, experts predict it will lean toward standards rather than strict regulation and take advantage of bipartisan congressional work already happening on kids’ safety online. The call for a legislative proposal came in the president’s December order that directed the Justice Department to sue states deemed to have “burdensome” AI laws. The order tasked two White House officials focused on AI and technology with drafting a recommendation on preemption and a “uniform federal policy framework.” The order also specified that the legislation should not preempt state AI laws on child safety, data center infrastructure or state government procurement and use of AI. Once released, the White House’s plan will head to a Congress that has so far been unwilling to take away most state authority to regulate AI. Advocates of state preemption, including...
