To President Trump, the veracity of statistics and scorekeepers can turn on a dime. When data works in his favor, he praises, repeats and often exaggerates the figures. When the numbers on crime or the economy run counter to his narrative, they are frequently deemed “fake,” “phony” and a “fraud.”

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

TIL about Groypers. Oh boy.

AI is not taking my designer hack job yet ;)

Yiiiiiikes

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit. It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

I'm more and more convinced ppl love Claude Code because it's the best agent and happens to be in a CLI, and not because it's a CLI agent.

And as a reminder, you can already run the same code on iOS, web (hah) and desktop already. You even get Compose Hot Reload for live tweaking in that last case!

“If donors to these nonprofits are not just holding the keys to an elected official’s political future but also literally providing them with their income, that’s new and disturbing,” a campaign finance expert said about Noem’s secret income.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: A letter to FIFA, signed by more than 90 civil society groups, expressed "deep concern" about President Trump's immigration policies and their potential impact on the 2026 World Cup. https://trib.al/7pWcmV8

It was never about philanthropy, just a tax break and buying goodwill

Massive amounts of money get wasted in politics and many people don't even know what happens to their money after donating. So here's how I've spent my campaign's resources over the last three months:

The U.S. is going to add trillions to the national debt to pay for tax cuts for the rich and more money for ICE and the military. Additionally green energy, food stamps and healthcare will get cut. It’s a class war in budget form.

Let this sink in ... 12 million people will lose their health insurance so that rich people can get yet another big tax break. 12 million lives will be directly harmed by Trump and the Republican's Big Bad Bill. 12 milliion.

BREAKING: I will object to Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill without reading it on the Senate floor Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor We will be here all night if that’s what it takes to read it

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind. I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why. Please share! This is really important!!! @heatmap.news
