We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

Ah, well, nevertheless.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

This is abhorrent. America should not tolerate a president relishing in Pinochet-style rule over our own citizens.

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

There have been some very scathing dissents over the years, but I can't think of one where the accusation is so bluntly made that the majority is a bunch of partisan hacks who are politically subservient to a president.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

I think I’m going to keep posting this until it goes viral or I get carpal tunnel. Tasha Cloud implicitly shames every athlete/author/actor choosing silence right now.

Indeed. It's important to understand that the rule of law isn't just "threatened" by what SCOTUS has been doing. For a variety of actions by the federal government, the rule of law no longer exists, because the feds have been willfully defying court orders and there will be no consequences for it.

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

WOW! We had 60,000 come out to march for #NoKings in San Diego! That’s just downtown. Zero arrests! AMAZING! www.kpbs.org/news/politic...

"WE...are what we've been waiting for." 🇺🇸 SD's @muellershewrote.com kicked things off, our city showed up HUGE, massive sea of people, 20,000+ strong proud & raising their voices. ZERO arrests. Me & older daughter + post-march tacos de cabeza, tripa & lengua cuz that's how we roll here #NoKings

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

San Diego SHOWED UP! I’ve been here for 30 years and have NEVER seen anything like this! #NOKINGS

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

First, this is correct. Second, notice how Pete runs us through the stases: -what is it -what do we call it -is it good or bad? -what do we do about it? Clear thinking is persuasive thinking.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Owner of loudest peep machine wonders why there no peeping.

The clearest conclusion I’ve come to doing a DOGE podcast for 4 months is that they’re not just incompetent at cutting waste and fraud, but that was never the real goal. And it’s vital to get folks who share that goal to recognize that.
