If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.

And they remain mystified as to why it's so hard for them to find real lawyers who will work for him... Eastman: disbarred Giuliani: disbarred Chesebro: disbarred Clark: facing possible disbarment Ellis: law license suspended www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

My heart is breaking for Shreveport, Louisiana. Eight young lives stolen in a devastating act of domestic gun violence. All of us should be outraged that we live in a country that routinely subjects our kids to such unimaginable violence.

The day ends without clarity and without direction. The Touska lies under American control somewhere in the Gulf of Oman. Iran has announced its response, but not yet delivered it. The negotiations that might have begun tomorrow stand on a knife

All of that garbage then feeds into AI models that are just as brittle. LLMs and gradient-boosted classifiers trained on incomplete, poorly-labeled, schema-inconsistent data that was never properly validated upstream, models that hallucinate

Days like Friday are a testament not only to the lawyers I work with but also to our clients. The voters who are standing up and the institutions that are fighting back play no small role in protecting democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/one-...

We all need to watch this carefully. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not surprised that there is dissension among the ranks. That's Donald's style, divide and conquer. Only this time he and his buddy Pete are weakening the U.S. readiness, in case they were actually needed for something other than political window dressing.🗽

Trump could have called in the National Guard on J6, but didn't. So much for law and order. Only when it suits him. I'll be posting clips from time to time of 'Trump's Day Of Love on January 6th', just to remind people what MAGA love really looks like.

BEWARE: In the months leading up to the midterm elections, hundreds of A.I. generated pro-Trump influencer accounts have emerged on social media.

Never forget ....release all the Epstein Files!

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

UN experts have said Israel’s “destruction of urban and village housing that displaced persons would have returned to, is consistent with the pattern of domicide that was initiated during the genocide in Gaza.” www.commondreams.org/news/lebanon...

The forever friends!

I’m pissed because this isn’t about gossip or gotcha headlines. This is about competence. This is about whether the people in charge can be reached, can think clearly, can act decisively when the moment demands it.

I’ve lived inside chaos before. I’ve watched it unfold in real time, crafted it, cleaned it up, and sometimes choked on it. But what we are witnessing right now isn’t just chaos. It’s something far more dangerous.

One homeless advocacy group said the bill, which would require homeless people to perform unpaid labor to pay for involuntary treatment, “evokes debtor’s prisons, convict leasing, and the ugliest day of Jim Crow.” www.commondreams.org/news/louisia...

The Justice Department has moved to drop the last remaining January 6 insurrection criminal matters: the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases. It’s a gratuitous move. On the first day of his second term,

So the orange bankruptcy magnet is suing America. And America’s lawyers work for him. And he has, in public, on the record, with cameras rolling, said the actual fucking words out loud. “I’m supposed to work out a settlement with myself.”

You don’t get a Trump without a culture ready to receive him. You don’t get a demagogue unless there’s a crowd hungry for one. And what he fed them wasn’t hope, or unity, or even
