Attacking Iran was so obviously, heinously stupid that he should've been impeached for that alone. That there's no whiff of it even now speaks to how rotten the whole political system is

I read this optimistically because some friends said it helped them feel better about this train we can’t get off of, but I have to say that it didn’t do that for me. it’s not surprising that you can find DFL lawmakers who say nice things about this incredibly powerful and famously vindictive pol

Every time data centers are brought up, I'm reminded of a recent meeting I had with a person working in that sector who mentioned how important power demand modeling was, because they projected if the grid were to go down in Phoenix during peak summer, 30,000 people would die in the first 24 hours

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

the way that we showed up to respond to ICE and other feds one year ago today when they were at lake & bloomington was a precursor to what we did during operation metro surge feds had guns, covered their faces and were aggressive. the people of minneapolis were undaunted and protected each other

1/ Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes.

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

Jan. 6 defendant who said he was ashamed of ‘foolish’ actions now works at Pentagon

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

FWIW I expect international pressure on Iran to eventually get bad enough to make them open the damn thing to close to its full capacity, but "eventually" probably won't be even this year. And it'll only happen after the economy actually crashes and makes other countries desperate enough.

Man when this economy crashes it is going to suck SO bad. What adults in the room are going to seize the reigns exactly?

it'll be interesting to see how bad things have to get before a critical mass of Americans prove capable of self-respect

I like when the secretary of state brazenly lies to congress. it means our systems are working

the death of 60 minutes and the rest of the VRA on the same night really brings home how the current conservative project is to kill the progress and ideals of the mid century

Just acknowledging the observable facts of the moment places you on the fringe of US politics.

A failed op-ed writer bankrolled by billionaires purging a universally liked and credible straight news journalist from 60 Minutes really has to be the height of the complete slide of American news media into a complete death spiral.

my like 60 percent confident take from the start of all this is that the strait is not ever opening back up so long as Trump is in the chair. even if President Pedophile could be trusted to stick to a deal (he can't) he'd straight up forget about it 3 hours later

I don't laugh out loud at a headline all that often, but they got me today

here's what i wrote

I'm abolition until the day I day but... will be pretty funny if sam bankman fried ends this term in prison

it's lowkey crazy that grove is glen taylor's henchman who was supposed to hover up to dc with walz and now everyone (including senator to be flanagan) is figuring out this new world

Kevin Warsh immediately hired a Project 2025 author as an advisor btw

I find it comforting that the widely shared journalism industry experience “being canned by a moron boss brought in from outside by other morons” extends all the way up to 60 Minutes. Media is still a blue collar field after all.

nick bilton is a bitch

An incredibly bleak night for democracy. One of the nation's top journalists was fired for standing up for journalism. Then SCOTUS decided: Hey, it's OK, Alabama. Be racist as you want to be. We won't stop your efforts to disenfranchise people. November's a start but it's going to be just the start

Watching 60 Minutes with my parents and grandma every Sunday night was as close as we had to a family ritual. Discussing those stories with them week after week was a foundational experience in my life, and I doubt I'm alone in that. Losing a capital-I Institution in American public life matters.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

(we are charlie kirk voice) we are scott pelley!!!!!!

@cbsnews.com is racist garbage under Bari Weiss. Do not watch them.

bari weiss call your lawyers

someone like bari weiss who is used to bullying low level reporters and adjunct professors into getting fired is not going to like how this plays out for her when the same tactics are applied to someone whose contract was written by high powered entertainment lawyers

nick bilton? the dumbass boss?

richest person in state makes choice

people are always like why are people climbing on top of the subways or climbing into the sewers for clout... there's no future you moron they're now-maxxing!!!!

that’s right. and important to emphasize that when Republicans have made the entire core of a campaign transphobia, they have eaten shit

Nazis.

one prompt!

hmmmm

It’s so stupid to ask people who voted for Trump about gas prices. We know what they think, it’s somehow the democrats fault, that is how stupid they are, it’s that simple to trick them. You just say “uhhh Biden”

Secretary Rubio tells senators Iran has mined large portions of the Strait of Hormuz

NEW: After Dan Berulis filed a whistleblower complaint against DOGE, Elon Musk boosted a post calling it false. Then Berulis' brake lines were cut. Now he's filed a defamation suit against Musk, which was unsealed this week. @telliotter.bsky.social has the scoop:

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

AI companies' race for compute is very scary, because: 1) data centers are going up very fast 2) there's not enough clean electricity to make them sustainable 3) the companies have to take on debt to pay for them It's all leveraging the future against the present, and it could all fall down fast

New: Internal Microsoft planning documents say the company's goal is to "make people addicted" to its new Scout AI assistant www.404media.co/microsoft-wa...

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Oh yeah? The same guy who owns Milkjam Creamery, the ice cream shop that makes Harry Potter flavors for local TERFs and had to shut down a few days because of metal shavings in the ice cream? That guy is concerned about bad reviews?

a city so good they named it twice

they should team up to advocate for Argentine citizenship

Reporting on how Talarico is reaching new people with his relatively run-of-the-mill mainline Christianity really shows how the media and political dominance of right wing evangelicalism has constrained the American religious imagination.

half a billion ain't shit if you're killing the goose that lays golden eggs
