I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

On the night when the violence erupted and Trump was brought into his bunker, only a handful of reporters rushed to the White House. Secret Service was brawling on the lawn. A few big paper White House correspondents spent those very moments drinking wine with Olivia at a house in Georgetown.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Hope is a fuel. Use it to burn down something terrible.

From California to Iowa to Idaho & more, farmers are hurting — & many of them voted for "mass deportation." Those votes created fear & despair in the very immigrant communities that worked to keep *all farms* viable. Their votes now fuel ICE's thuggery & lawlessness. 🧾 abcnews.go.com/US/family-fa...

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

Boy, I dunno

Now, we can FINALLY get something done. Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy has PUT THE NAME to what Trump's doing & has been doing. That's the 1st step to getting the problem solved... defining the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vei...

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

I am appalled that so many people are questioning the ability of this man to efficiently and wisely lead the FBI.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

In spite of how you feel about Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump or politics in general, what does the data say about the rise in hate crimes & political violence? We checked.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I've seen worse candidates for Last Tweet.

Oh, it's simple, the Boomers got their $10k college education and their $60k home then decided to pull up the ladders and rip up the roots of the American dream by putting in charge the worst people they could find, such as Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.” There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs. There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown. And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.

5. The right-wing enthusiasm for AI science is not about doing better science faster. It’s about eliminating one of the most effective forms of societal resistance to authoritarian control.

all those "you shouldn't disown your MAGA family" articles are apologies for fascism. 1

Every time you write Superintelligence, even if it's the (intentional) name of the team (that zuck gave it for marketing reasons) you are doing marketing for Meta, and doing so about them making *a conscious intelligence.* this company failed to add legs in the metaverse after promising to do so.

Given the Mamdani discourse, I wrote a bit about billionaires. If you were given $100 a day and aimed to have as much wealth as the world’s billionaires, you’d have had to have started about when animals first developed the ability to breathe oxygen. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

NASA just won an Emmy for our live broadcast of the total solar eclipse last year. We produced a documentary film about the James Webb Space Telescope that's out in theaters and on Netflix. We have podcasts, we write feature stories. People wear the agency logo on t-shirts. We're still getting cut.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

BOOKER: Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no. SCHUMER: I‘ll just do it anyway.

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Politics gets dirty and I don't mind a Dem playing coy with their position as a negotiating tactic to extract more—that's how the sausage is made—but what happened here with those 10 Dems achieved nothing because it had just one objective: to deceive Democratic voters. That cannot be tolerated.

The fact that these quislings made this vote *while* Trump was threatening people by name, declaring journalism illegal, asking if America is “ready” for death penalty for drug *users*—& praising Schumer for caving…

Week 8, Day 3 #unanimousconsent stats + a 🧵 on @democrats.senate.gov leadership UC requests - Agreed: 16 - Denied: 1 (R - Mullin, rejecting NIH funding) - Avg UC agreements/hr - 2.11 (19.8 hrs in session) Total Agreements since inauguration- 496 - Total Objections - 24 (20 R, 5 D)

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Schumer wants us to believe Senate Dems are powerless while literally providing the votes to ensure the GOP agenda goes forward. If a shutdown was better for Trump, the House GOP wouldn't have passed this CR and the Senate GOP wouldn't vote for it. Schumer knows that; he's outright lying to us.

Here Are the Arguments for Why Senate Ds Should Vote Yes and Why They’re Wrong talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/here-...

The President of the United States confessed that he has no respect for national borders or sovereignty. Egged on by the richest man in the world he expressed broad imperialist plans to take over two sovereign nations. Will we allow him to do this in our name?

Government workers when DOGE shows up.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Reminder, again, that when current nominee to be Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, was being vetted to be Ambassador to the Netherlands, he told me he had no proof of his naturalization.

One of the reasons this doesn’t yet have the stigma that it should is that overwhelmingly the question is being framed as “Wouldn’t it be interesting if a computer could make XYZ” instead of “Do you want XYZ to be made by a computer instead of a person”

Netanyahu: "You can't be president of 🇺🇸 last time I checked right?" Elon Musk: "Not officially." Netanyahu: *laughs* — "OK, so you're the unofficial president..."
