You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.

Stark and sad.
First sentence is more true than not at the moment because of the current regime.
For trust, they are trying to kill that too, but they will fail.

We’re fighting both, and everyone I know loves our neighbors North of the border too.

Maybe Marco needs to focus on his primary job at State and drop being Acting US Nat’l Security Advisor

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.

She lied.

One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

Y’know, I fully expect that they’ll claim the 47,635 file they removed a day or so ago as β€œNew!” when they put them back up.
Because that’s par for their dishonest course now.

I don’t think this is an essential lawmaking function. Very not speech. Much not debate.

True, and to be clear with Iraq, 4 star Gen. Eric Shinseki advised that several hundred thousand troops would be needed to control the country and predicted the challenges. He was attacked and driven into retirement by Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld. 157k troops went in.

Hope is not a strategy.

Pretty amazing that deciding to abide by the Constitution and knowing what your product can and can not do is considered
An ideological whim
Unpatriotic
Arrogant

ChatGPT is shedding users fast. Since yesterday alone, estimates suggest more than a million accounts have been deleted and the boycott continues to gain momentum. Incredible work, everyone!

Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAI’s Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

CNN's @natashabertrand.bsky.social reporting rumored rationale that Iran was about to strike us first, preemptively, is not accurate to US sources she's spoken with.

VERY important because that would be a reason to not go to Congress first - imminent threat to US forces.

I am *begging* activists and others with large followings to make your asks of us strategically.

We're exhausted. Too much is happening at once.

You *must* learn to triage.

There are times when contacting reps can effect change, especially to try to stop a horrible bill from becoming law.

But 🧡

If anyone actually KNEW the true Art of the Deal, they wouldn’t have made it past the initial screening for this administration.

In a SCIF and most certainly in the Situation Room, NO unsecured personal electronics are permitted because of the risk of breach.
Smartwatches have microphones and are transmitting devices.

Anthropic makes it clear that yes, the Trump & Hegseth tantrum is because they’re mad they wouldn’t do mass surveillance of Americans or fully autonomous killer robots.

Important story about the Pentagon trying to force Anthropic to allow no guardrails for mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.
DoD undersec Emil Michael (ex Uber) tweeted the dept β€œwon’t have any big tech company decide Americans’ civil liberties.”

A US defense undersecretary, Emil Michael, verbally attacks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei as a liar who has a God-complex. β€œHe wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation’s safety at risk.”

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.
