AI is everywhere, and most Americans feel like it's moving way too fast. Washington fumbled on Big Tech and social media. We can't make the same mistake with AI. This week, I'll announce two major policy proposals: one on AI and jobs, one on AI safety. What worries you most about AI?

Yet again the “largely” negotiated peace deal is actually just a memorandum of understanding to start negotiating.

Glenn Thrush just made a damage-control appearance on MSNOW re: his disgraceful access-whore whitewash of Todd Blanche. He inadvertently made the case that Blanche is a prime example of the banality of evil. @glennthrush.bsky.social @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social

My plan: verify advertisers, require actual scam reporting and response, and give attorney generals more resources to prosecute scammers.

It's Memorial Day weekend. The August primary campaign begins in earnest. Looking forward to the big media rollouts in the Dem Senate contest from Haley Stevens, Mallory McMorrow, and Abdul El-Sayed. @haleyformi.bsky.social @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social @abdulelsayed.bsky.social

Even Jeremy Peters isn't as obtuse as Glenn Thrush is pretending to be here. The obvious conclusion is that Todd Blanche has been a frequent off-the-record source for Thrush, and Thrush is thanking him with this BS "report." @glennthrush.bsky.social www.wonkette.com/p/ny-times-s...

A W.E.B. Dubois avatar paired with a watermelon emoji. 🤔

Best news of the day.

AI interpreting Jacques Derrida. A friend is having lots of fun with this.

Not bad. It's more than a little surprising that The Scarlet Letter, Huckleberry Finn, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and The Stranger, among others, didn't make the cut. But it's not a bad list. www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...

It's quite interesting to see how a number of people who don't vote in Michigan, including some foreigners who can't vote in the U. S., are so eager to lecture Michigan-voter yours truly about candidates in the Democratic primary for the U. S. Senate.

Good news!

Hey folks, another presumptuous Canadian busybody who jumped into my mentions to lecture me about elections he can't vote in! @aster-verite.bsky.social

A study in contrasts. Mallory McMorrow is focused on an immediate problem in a Michigan community and dealing with the underlying causes. Haley Stevens is promoting her endorsements. Abdul El-Sayed? Most likely preoccupied with his next booking on the Chris Hayes show.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

I love this.

Just the most shameless gaslighting. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Ppl don’t pay enough attention to the fact that gimmicks like eliminating income or property taxes just causes sales taxes to increase. Govt will get their money but they leave that part out

To quote Nicolle Wallace, F-bombing Megyn Kelly is the best Megyn Kelly. From Friday.

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?

Trump says.

My, don't they look traumatized.

Dramatic video from Getty Images from behind the dais. They actually got Vance out before Trump. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/vice-president-jd-vance-is-escorted-out-by-secret-service-news-footage/2273151734?adppopup=true

Whaddayaknow. A list with pictures of the Traitors to the First Amendment attending the WHCA tonight. Many of these people had already shown themselves. But others? Shame on you Kaitlan Collins and Briana Keilar. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

What's that? You thought Spirit was the worst airline? Well, welcome to Spirit as managed by Donald Trump and underwritten by your taxpayer dollars. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-flailing...

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

This year, we're not just going to send Mike Rogers back to Florida. We're going to flip the 4th, the 7th, the 10th, the State House, and expand our State Senate majority. The rest of the country is counting on us. Let’s show ‘em how it’s done.

BREAKING: Mallory McMorrow just brought down the house at the Michigan Democratic Party Women's caucus. Let's go!

What did Big Bird ever do to Progressive Insurance?

Lovely. Pete Hegseth is replacing the Gospels of Jesus Christ with the Gospel of Quentin Tarantino. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

BREAKING: Mallory McMorrow just became the first Michigan Senate candidate to submit 30k signatures to get on the ballot. They were collected entirely by volunteers.

From a poll based on a sample of Michigan Democrats who prefer Bernie Sanders to Gretchen Whitmer, El-Sayed supporters in the press are now claiming he's tied with McMorrow and Stevens. /1

President Trump cannot fire the pope, indict him, impose tariffs on him, or kick him out of the Vatican. Leo’s pulpit reaches every Catholic parish on the planet, and Trump cannot shout it down.

What I assume Melania's press conference today was a reaction to. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Ducky.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

I will never understand how the populist left would ever be all in for a candidate who seems bucking for the Pete Hegseth endorsement. www.mediaite.com/politics/dem...

Happy Easter, Michigan! To me, celebrating Easter means welcoming new beginnings and looking to the future with hope and optimism. From cherished family traditions to moments spent together, it’s a joyful reminder of the hope that moves our state forward. 🌷🐣💛

I’m glad Trump and Hegseth “totally destroyed” Iran’s air defense systems last week so none of our aircraft would get shot down.

We’re not even getting into weird ass shit like when he told importer countries in Asia to “grab and cherish” the strait of Hormuz like they’re assaulting some underaged beauty pageant contestant. Dude is seriously deranged.

It seems pretty imperative at this point that El-Sayed goes down in the August primary. He would be toast in November. Mike Rogers would eat him for breakfast. enjoyer.com/abdul-el-say...

It seems Mallory McMorrow's campaign is going well. The cosplay-left Gaza obsessives are spending a lot more energy attacking her than Haley Stevens, who is much more their ideological foe.

The NYT has a detailed critique of the Trump ballroom. My question: What about the plumbing? My dad was an architect whose expertise was in building specs. You can't have a decent building without good plumbing. No word about the plans re: this.

Question: What's more important, health care for Americans, or waging war in Iran? The Trump and GOP answer: Fuck Americans, we want war in Iran! Remember the 300! Warfighters! newrepublic.com/post/208342/...

Trump is going to regret this. There is going to be a lot of defacing of public currency. Can't you just see "serial child molester with Jeffrey Epstein," among other things, written below his signature on dollar bill after dollar bill? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Stephanie Ruhle interviewed Trump for 15 minutes this morning. The conversation she describes was him bitching about everyone and everything under the sun. It must be sinking in that others aren't going to clean up his messes for him anymore. #MSNOW

He is begging like a dog, one might say. This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.

I would hope so. it makes no sense. Iran has proven smart and tactical, and they fight dirty. They know they could get nowhere near the California coast with short-range aircraft such as drones. This is just Trump suck-up horse manure from Kash Patel's FBI. www.mediaite.com/media/news/o...

I just saw Perry Johnson's latest ad in his campaign to be the GOP nominee for Michigan Governor. I certainly enjoyed the dig at John James. But Johnson's creepy face is so obviously shot up with Botox that he's ridiculous.
