I should also add that, once the news media started accepting Grok as an official ‘spokesperson’ for the company - which it does, and not just at the bbc - it was a clear sign of how good the reporting on this would be. The ‘only paying users’ thing was, afaik, a grok answer, and also untrue.

These are people who, when they’re reporting on Westminster politics can remember hundreds of names, relationships, voting histories and any amount of gossip, but with large, important global stories, can’t be bothered to get the absolute basics right.

Trump has now lost all moral authority to "govern" this country tinyurl.com/ppd6y2bu

We’re watching Trump radicalizing an entire generation in real time

It’s tempting to dismiss this whole saga in Minnesota as just another instance of MAGA hysteria. But if you look past all that, you’ll find a genuinely troubling episode of government failure. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pm1mUl

What’s going on? Why aren’t investors pricing in all these risks? Are the markets really just doing great? There are other ways to interpret what’s going on, and none of them are particularly assuring:

Make America…America again. As for Russia…

Hegseth didn’t have the courage to give Mark Kelly a trial by court martial because he knew he would lose it and be humiliated. So he is taking the cowardly way out. Whatever action he takes unilaterally will discredit US military civilian leadership and be reversed in 3 years.

Don't bet on it

Tripping is a learned skill. It's like driving or riding a bike — anyone can learn how, but it takes time & experience to master. Don't rush into a heroic dose of shrooms or a DMT breakthrough right away. Learn how to ride the fucking bike before you hurt yourself.

More people than ever know that it’s time for us to close the book on this shameful chapter of capital punishment in America. It’s time for our elected leaders to act accordingly. Sign on to our call for the death penalty to be abolished at aclu.org/end_death_penalty

The evidence is there. He’s guilty. But old white men will always get the benefit of the doubt.

"I can’t abide by the schadenfreude-laden viewpoint that anyone who ever pulled a lever for Trump deserves whatever’s coming to them as a result. The fact is that this political moment is immiserating good people. I don’t blame them for that. I blame him."

All of MAGA world still believes that it was Nancy Pelosi who failed to send the National Guard that day, and no amount of facts, proof, or evidence will convince them otherwise.

check out the expression on Zelenskyy's face as Trump claims the war wouldn't have happened if the 2020 election hadn't been "rigged and stolen"

Agree 💯 With Steven......

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

A feisty cat stunned the crowds at Stonehenge during winter solstice last week. Her name is Moon and I love her.

tRump did such a bang-up job with his favorite word, “Tariffs”, that he caused Canadian retailers to pull American spirits from their shelves. Consequently, Jim Beam plans to pause production at its main distillery in Kentucky. #FAFO #Pinks #ProudBlue www.cbsnews.com/news/jim-bea...

Being “woke” means refusing to be lulled into complacency—staying alert to injustice, speaking out, and working for a better future. @lqlana.bsky.social gives a #CupOfJoe full of the history of “woke”. 🔗 shorturl.at/MWVsA

Do you remember Betty Reid Soskin? She was the oldest serving National Park Ranger in the United States, we celebrated her retirement at the age of 100. Betty Reid Soskin (1921–2025) passed away on Sunday, but she lived an extraordinary life. “The answers are only temporary.” — Betty

From 60 Minutes bootleg video on CECOT (prison in El Salvador) these men behind Noem weren’t “terrorists” removed from our country as she said. The men pictured are Salvadoran gang members who were not in the U.S. 3% of Venezuelans sent there were criminals. Almost all were sexually assaulted.

Ret. Lt. Col. @avindman.bsky.social knows about sacrifice & he remains a stalwart defender of democracy. He joined me for a sobering discussion about the future of America in the global arena & how we continue our outreach to veterans to vote for the Democratic Party. youtu.be/YkR35J8dV8c?...

WOW: In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons has won with a staggering 72.5% of the vote, defeating Republican Calvin Leach, who received 25%. Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.

Charge him with SEDITIONIST CONSPIRACY. TAKE EVERY DIME FROM THIS KETO WHORE. FUCK MUSK DEATH FOR KETO FASCISTS 🖕🏼💀🖕🏼

Rob Reiner gave us decades of laughter before politics poisoned everything. After his death, Americans briefly remembered decency. trump reminded us why it’s so rare now. Check out my Substack here: brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/what-rob-r...

And we must take the power — their wealth — away from the tech billionaires. Musk and Thiel and Ellison must get the Al Capone treatment. They have broken laws based on public information.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.
