This is the guy Trump first wanted for the job so he could help bury the Epstein files.

Seeing guys claim that AI is *already* intelligent and capable of original thought really gives the game away. It’s not about waiting for the technology to miraculously become better, it’s about convincing you it’s something that it’s not

I’m iffy on both, but I think Talarico’s “as a Christian, I favor the separation of church and state” and “what these rightwing Christians are doing is antithetical to Christ’s actual teachings” are both messages the American public needs to hear.

Counterpoint: Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM. That’s fucking insane.

Tomorrow you may see James David Vance or some other purported Catholic from this administration with ashes on their forehead, it’s important to remember that it’s all just for show.

He had a joke in his stump speeches about how, if he were to walk on water, the headlines the next day would read “Jesse Jackson Can’t Swim”

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Once again, Republicans in Congress are spewing horrible, dehumanizing anti-Muslim comments without condemnation from their peers. We need to call out this poisonous pattern of hatred from Republicans, and they need to answer for it.

Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Listening to Trump Admin officials, you'd never guess that the US stock market underperformed the rest of the world in 2025.

We are going to win. Because we are stronger together and because love is more powerful than hate. (I am going to go cry now)

Epstein survivors believe the Trump DoJ illegally released the names of survivors in an effort to intimidate them.

There’s also a progressive candidate running who HASN’T taken money from Palantir partners @mikesacks.bsky.social : www.mikesacksforcongress.com

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Note: Allegations of racial profiling aren’t just coming from congressional Democrats. Over the past month, Cardinal Cupich, who oversees the Archdiocese of Chicago, has repeatedly claimed that his own priests have been racially profiled by DHS agents. religionnews.com/2026/02/10/c...

I'll just say if you work in hospitality you should be prepared even if you do a fantastic job to every so often get stiffed by people of every identity and if your response is "[x identity] are shit" you shouldn't be in hospitality and you definitely shouldn't be in the senate

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

NEW: David Greene was the voice of NPR's "Morning Edition." Is he also secretly the voice of Google's popular AI podcast tool, NotebookLM? Google says no. Greene thinks they're lying. My story today breaks the news of his lawsuit and compares the two voices. Listen for yourself: wapo.st/3ZHRvho

They’ll say ANYTHING.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

roses are red violets are blue tom homan’s a bitch greg bovino, too

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Folks have noted that shutting down DHS also means shutting down FEMA. But it's important to remember that Trump already has been fighting to deny $233 million in FEMA funding to blue states. www.ksbw.com/article/judg...

Both twitter accounts at work here are paid for by taxpayers

This guy man. This guy. He should be President. This guy gets it. Everything he does is cool and fun and for the people. I'm old as shit and I've seen politicians come and go, famous Presidents, Mayors, Governors, reps, Senators. This guy and Obama have more charisma than I've ever seen in the game.

“Aides said [Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Chief of Staff John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.” —Miles Taylor, who worked for the first Trump Administration.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

So infuriating.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Wild that a sitting member of Congress, a Republican no less, feels compelled to post this.

Roses are white Violets are white Santa is white America is white Happy Valentine's Day from the Trump administration.

I’m just going to leave this here

This man is a thief, coward and hypocrite. He argues the U.S. can't afford to protect workers from scammy corporations through the CFPB, but it CAN afford to pay millions and millions robbed from three different agencies to pay for his imperial guard. #stopvought www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

I will admit this was one that I had to both click through and then search for myself to believe it's real.

The full story with a gift link (it's such a mess):

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

It’s Epstein’s island.

This is Bogie. This rope is his very favorite toy because it makes his tiny human smile too. 13/10 (TT: _chelsea_brown_4)

one of the things that’s harder to see while we are in it, but will jump off the page at future historians, is how deeply corrupt *the entire trump family* is, and how they abused and and manipulated every lever of the federal government they could grab to steal everything that isn’t nailed down

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

I think it has incredibly valuable applications, but it is generally cooking the planet to make incredibly ugly slop that no one, even its creators, particularly like as a tech demo for big corporations for how they can fire huge numbers of creative people for a slightly worse product.

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised! New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.
