Well said. More of this, please, Democrats!

I wonder if he ever invented any original riddles. Like all by himself. He had plenty of spare time, and he was into that kind of stuff.

β€œJust as much in writing” is a great turn of phrase.

Back in the day, if you took the bus from Philly to AC, they’d throw in $5 free slot machine credit at the casino where they dropped you off.

I was just reminded of that for some reason.

Written about this before, but Trump really doesn't seem to grasp the extent to which chaos and uncertainty are economically harmful, independently of the intrinsic badness of his policies. That goes for "pick this week's tariff rate from a hat" & also for making it impossible to trust gov't data.

"All he cares about is what he thinks will get him to the next day.”

Truer words have never been spoken about Trump. Somebody in tech once described him as a "greedy algorithm" (or maybe it was more colorful than that). And it's so true. Loyalty to him, or a "deal" with him, is utterly pointless.

Always enjoyed your work. Sad what's happening to the Post. Looking forward to reading your stuff wherever you wind up next.

Is Hakeem Jeffries even *curious* about the guy who just won the D primary 56-44 in his backyard? Does he realize what an insult it is to New Yorkers to *not* endorse Zohran at this point?

Hand him any Jack Reacher novel, open it to a random page, and ask him to read it out loud. He can’t. He’s functionally illiterate.

Damn. Never knew about this, but how that I read her story, i'll be more careful, too.

I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line β€œthey increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”

What a joyless way to view basketball.

Bucks fans are now likely going to be watching a winning team compete in the playoffs for the next few years. I'm glad the ownership and management aren't listening to your advice.

Besides being a soulless goon, was he chewing a sandwich during this entire speech? Or just slurring his speech after a lunch with Hegseth…

Fucking evil. Homan says β€œwe [ICE] should be going to work every morning saying β€˜get everybody you can get.’”

This attitude is a stain on the soul of our nation. Impeach and remove Trump, and fire every one of these assholes.

Also fwiw Homan is an absolute dogshit public speaker.

Your #1 job now is to impeach Trump. How can you wait until the second paragraph to mention that this was a violation of the constitution?!?

Americans are depending on you and your congressional colleagues to remove Trump and restore order. Please.

Equally as important as the oft cited 3.5% of a population hitting the streets to create change number
is the need for a movement to have a specific demand.

Indian independence, civil rights, gov response to AIDs crisis were clear demands millions could push for.

What is the demand of this moment?

My demand was on my sign and I hope it gains steam: Impeach and remove Trump. It’s peaceful, it’s legal. Democrats in the house need to first organize and vote for it (or request a vote every day). Then republicans need to realize it’s a cult with no successor, and they’re better off exiting early.

This implies that Trump actually has beliefs, or views. I think he’s just a selfish brute who has learned that insulting his political opponents has no downside, and probably helps him with his base. He’s a walking, breathing blob of greed and resentfulness.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

No machine has ever *learned* anything. Every successful machine learning or AI application is a piece of software, written by a human programmer, who most likely implemented an algorithm called "stochastic gradient descent".

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran.

Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

A map showing that Republican senators are proposing to sell national forest land on three sides of Yellowstone national park.

Selling off national forest land on three sides of Yellowstone! I don’t honestly know what’s a typical govt land sale here, but I don’t trust this administration to behave in the public’s best interest for a frickin’ second.

Sure looks like Republicans are stripping down America and selling it off for parts, probably for pennies on the dollar, to their oligarch friends. In exchange for political support.
