The Loan Programs Office (LPO) is one of the most quietly effective tools the federal government has. It is the center of our industrial policy providing loans that banks won't give for energy innovation. It funds real projects. Battery factories. Nuclear reactors. Geothermal energy. Car factories.

Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a βcharityβ she controls. That βcharityβ passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groupsβwho then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!
πI'm sorry but the 80-year-old Dick Durbin saying he will retire AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR has to be the most out-of-touch Democratic thing I have heard this week.
πChances are God will retire you first, sport. Step down NOW if you want to do something truly meaningful for the party.

David Hogg is not your son. Stop projecting your parental fantasies onto him. He's also not a child. Stop defaulting to infantalizing white men.
You all refuse to hold adult ass white men responsible for their actions and then wanna act surprised when they lash out.
Weekly jobless claims rose 6,000 to 222,000, up from the 216,000 reported last week.
So. Much. Winning.

All other issues aside, there's going to be major "prompt engineering" burnout for some if not all usecases.
Having to create precise verbal instructions is way more taxing & ultimately less rewarding than browsing stock, or sketching, or talking ideas w/ a human artist, or just writing the copy.
