So, I am not quite sure what this is, but it’s hard to believe Pirro is talking with Main Justice here. DOJ’s Civil Rights Division is suing over DC’s semiautomatic gun ban and the head of the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, backs a national reciprocity law.

BREAKING: ICE has halted "all movement" at a Texas detention facility due to measles infections, DHS confirms.

Dems are in a real bind if we take power again. There will have to be purges and reform at DOJ/FBI. but bad faith right wing media will instantly do the "you're acting like trump" thing and dems will back down Leaving double agents and fascists littered throughout the federal government

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Triggered by claims the "AI in education debate" is caught in a deadlock and by some academics worried that "AI critics: are over-anxious about *possible* rather than empirically documented effects, here are what I think are some worthwhile critical projects about AI in education 🧵

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires. Anyone can sign the petition — link below!

This is the only thing AI dorks are talking about on Twitter. They will read sentience into anything before pausing to engage in critical thought.

Latest episode of Law and Order has a griefbot at the center of the murder, and the lawyer is arguing spousal privilege to keep the discussions private.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

an Italian? they're virtually Albanians.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

In her role overseeing the country’s spy agencies, Gabbard is prohibited by law from taking part in domestic law enforcement. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Just saw this take from Kaminska on the causes of the silver price spike. This kind of dynamic would have eventual market and strategic knock-on effects on EU policy areas too. Is this plausible?

Hard to believe we are all casually using “draw down” to describe what we want to be happening here while most people still aren’t recognizing this as a federal occupation

Now underperforming gold for the past five years. 👀

Q: So you're not pulling back in Minnesota? TRUMP: No no. Not at all.

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Kimi K2.5 is 4x cheaper to run than Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2 (high) People are running Kimi through ClawdBot and spending a fraction of what they would have vs Anthropic's models and getting great results. Idk man but this doesn't seem great for the American frontier labs.

NEW: Google’s “Auto Browse” AI tool includes a warning that attributes responsibility to users for the bot’s actions. “Use Gemini carefully and take control if needed,” reads a disclaimer on the demo version. “You are responsible for Gemini’s actions during tasks.” www.wired.com/story/google...

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

This government shouldn't get one franklin of federal funding until they defenestrate this fascist fuck

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.

@johnmu.com Hello John, I’d like to report a serious regression in the quality of results on Google Books that seems to be related to a recent algorithm update. See the attached screenshot, the first one is from Jan 20, the next one from Jan 23. The quality degradation makes Google Books unusable.

Part of the corrosion on the right is that they can't conceive of normal community building things like organizing as something anyone would do naturally without power grabbing as a motivation.

but grindr, scruff, etc have had to censor themselves for years to maintain a presence in the stores. goddamn it's bleak

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

Good Tsar shocked by bad boyars

Has to mean that he knows Trump is already planning to fire Noem

i fear that a not insignificant number of people would, given the opportunity, pre-order a matrix egg for large sums of money "it's sustainable! You're actually *contributing* energy"

"These court victories tell us that … we have a right to say that Charlie Kirk said some disgusting things, and just because we’re faculty members doesn’t mean we don’t have the right to say those things.” – Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

Sig Sauer apparently even has a website dedicated to explaining that NO, IT'S AKSHULLY REALLY SAFE. After all, what's an endless stream of misfire reports between friends?

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Dems should block any bill that funds immigration enforcement that doesn't mandate that federal immigration officers MUST work in communities on terms defined by state authorities. At this point in the struggle, federalism is the hill to die on.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Saw my first AI-generated #Review today, of a paper in Scientific Reports. It was like a highschool teacher giving constructive feedback on an essay, with statements from a rubric. If i see this as editor, your 'review' will be ignored. If i see it as 1st/last author, I'll write to the editor. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting. Also, note that we are now reduced to using Kremlinology techniques—scanning disparities in regime-aligned media—to understand how the US government makes decisions

Ten straight minutes of call-and-response “let’s do what?” “the fucking news” “let’s do what?”

"ai" is not a genie that can't be put back in a bottle, it's a pillar of smoke that dissipates unless you keep burning money

This couple spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention and received a pardon from the Republican governor of Missouri.

so bari definitely got the heads up that noem is being shitcanned, right?

The rest of it is even funnier

Zei Squirrel just proved AOC right.

NEW: The Trump administration is planning to use AI to write federal regulations despite the risk of hallucinations. “We don't even need a very good rule,” the Transportation Department’s top lawyer said of the plan, per meeting notes reviewed by ProPublica. “We want good enough.”🧵
