Getting good at using LLMs means learning to work with tools that makes things up 10%-50% of the time. Many people struggle because they either: 1. Get frustrated by a non-deterministic tool they can’t trust. 2. Blindly trust it because “Claude/ChatGPT said so.” Both are common failure modes.

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

“You know we’re in a war,” President Trump said yesterday, as a White House letter to Congress asserted that the War Powers Act doesn’t apply because there’s no war. Utter contempt. Congress is cool with it. Because the GOP majority also has contempt for the law, Constitution, country, and people.

I’m George Conway, a constitutional lawyer and co-founder of the Lincoln Project. We’ve got to protect our democracy from Trump’s deranged, egomaniacal descent into authoritarianism. But Congress is doing NOTHING to stop Trump, and it’s time for a change.

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

Can you imagine going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that in 250 years, the King of England would be standing in the United States Capitol lecturing American lawmakers about the importance of democratic norms?

According to the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (War Powers Act), Trump has ONE day left to secure a Declaration of War from Congress, and another 30 days to bring our troops home if not. $10 says Congress doesn't do 💩 and $20 says no one, definitely not SCOTUS, makes Trump follow the law. #feckless

Funny how that works. 🤔🫤🤨🙂‍↔️

The WHCD shooter will be used to justify things that have nothing to do with the WHCD shooter. Mark this moment.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

Trump is going to the White House Correspondents Dinner b/c he thinks he won. He suppressed Freedom of the Press & selected journalists to cover him. He thinks he is safe b/c there will be no comedian to roast him. Tonight is an opportunity for the press to fight back. Will they? We'll see.

this just such a boring rehash of 2006 politics. we need leaders who put criminals and traitors in prison. there is no unity without accountability.

JUST THE FACTS: 👇 Felon Donald Trump has been president for only 2% of America's history… He is now responsible for 25% of our national debt. That’s 25%, folks! $39 trillion…and growing daily.

Democracy dies in darkness (it's OK when Republicans do it edition)

The reality is worse, IMO, they (the set of fragile men who believe this) believe women are inherently less capable, despite objective proof to the contrary since time immemorial.

Priorities: we don’t have money to fund our own citizens health care - but Trump is going to help out other countries? Affected by a stupid war HE STARTED. Let him pay them out of his own bank account. Fat chance.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Senator Jon Ossoff neatly breaks down political corruption in America — and how Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago mafia” has exploited it. Every single Democrat should be saying this.

Agree on SCOTUS but many lower courts have been the bulwark we need in the past 15 months Too bad more major law firms, universities and esp. major tech companies are not.

Genuine question: after 6 weeks of bombing Iran, the US has almost run out of Tomahawk missiles, and their Navy is running out of food. Car companies are being asked to make weapons. Other public spending is being slashed to bits. What the hell is their $1 trillion a year military budget spent on?

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

Trump is not a child. He is not possessed. He’s not a victim of his advisors. He’s just a bad person and a bad president.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finnish President Alexander Stubb took the ice for some drills with the PWHL Ottawa Chargers. Absolutely amazing. ❤️🇫🇮🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🇫🇮❤️ ❤️🇫🇮🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🇫🇮❤️

Last Tuesday, a Trump tweet had us waiting for the end of the world. But we're still here, which means I am again begging for your Ask Me Anything questions for this week's The Will Bunch Newsletter Stuff is still happening, so hit me with your best shot

Maddow: "Amid all of this insanity it may be a good time to remember that this kind of desperation from the White House and from the president is palpably driven by fear."

This is an actual paragraph that had to be written by an actual newspaper.

“The US is no longer an ally of Canada - it’s a strategic adversary because the highest office in United States is working to undermine and break up Canada. Let that sink in.” 🇨🇦 Truth. As Carney said ‘we are over the shock of the betrayal’.

Very true...

We’re supposedly in the middle of negotiating a ceasefire with Iran and our Secretary of State is at a UFC fight instead. This is not a serious country.

Wes Moore needs to be on everyone’s shortlist, should he throw his hat in the ring for 2028. “Any of these people who are thinking about 2028, I need to see that you’re taking 2026 seriously… What are you doing right now to protect, to heal, and to build?” “I’m hungry, but I’m not thirsty.” 🔥

I don’t want to hear a single fucking Republican demand justice or investigations on anyone until Trump is held accountable. If you’re not willing to hold the same standard for him, choke on a dick until then about anything else.

Trump just set a new record and it’s not the kind you frame. Donald Trump’s net approval has collapsed to -17, a historic low. Maybe he finally deserves a trophy? And it’s going to get even worse if he thinks Americans will sit quietly while he drags us into war and drafting our children.👇

We can't have 80 yr old presidents, Who can destroy the world then just die and not be punished for or deal with the mess

I generally avoid using the term “imperialism” when discussing geopolitics because the term is often thought-terminating for the reader and because the quest for empire is an ever-present part of human history. That said, I think the post below is worth reading and considering:

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Trump says he’s justified in attacking Iran’s civilian infrastructure because the Iranian people support being bombed for the sake of regime change he claims has already occurred
