$40B to Argentina that was not approved by congress and which the president doesn't have the unilateral authority to disburse, vs $9B in SNAP funds that were approved by congress and which the president is legally required, and has been legally ordered, to disburse. Trump hates Americans.

Horrible margins for republicans. Good.

I like how Cuomo, who doesn’t live in New York City, is winning the places that kinda also aren’t really part of NYC.

So after ten fundraising texts per day, no reminder from @democrats.org that there’s an election on in Pennsylvania today? @padems.org

The real problem with the democratic party is quite simply that they forgot that laughter is more powerful than screams. Mamdani is like rain to a desert and reminding us all that it’s possible to win and have fun at the same time; it’s not all scolds and doom and pyrrhic victories for once.

@hailey.at sudden uptick of bots today

The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored. Period.

If the dude could drop $130m as a political favor at the drop of a hat, we are undertaxing him by at least $130m.

Does anyone have a credible idea to address the AI output human validation bottleneck?

So the sad thing that the Platner discovery underlines about our toxic culture of attention, and which many still fail to grasp, is that this actually makes him more likely to win; viewed through an attention-is-all-that-matters lens. It’s the same exact reason that Trump keeps winning.

Trump is going to take the 230M he decided he is "owed" from DOJ and use it to fund his ballroom project. Curious that the numbers are the same, no? He also mentioned donating the DOJ proceeds "to a charity." Ahem. @coons.senate.gov @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

I mean, seriously.

"Graham Platner was displaying Nazi iconography the right way" - An opinion piece by Ezra Klein

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Who’s building Claude Code but for hardware engineering? Huge delta between ease of software and hardware engineering right now.

@pfrazee.com not sure who does frontend over there or i’d ping them directly, but the bookmark button is too far to the right on iOS and running into the share button

ATProto is a team sport - we build better together. That's why, effective today, we're opening up access to the enriched archive we use to power Graze, so anyone can build great services on top of ATProto without reinventing the wheel. Read more in the @leaflet.pub post below for details!

@why.bsky.team @bnewbold.net i’m working on a POC/workload profile of client-side feedgen. What’s the best endpoint to hit for a 72h backfill? Otherwise I have to load from each PDS with a unique request which won’t scale well. I basically want to pass an array of DIDs w/ time window as 1 request.

Claude code subagents are awesome for research tasks.

What if... there is no appview needed, and every user could pull a unique feed from the jetstream using client-side compute? I think this is possible.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

OpenAI releasing Sora in product form without a mature steganographic watermarking implementation and without working with social media apps to label AI content, is negligent.

I'm beginning to think this guy might not be up for the job.

Just saying, MAGA won control of all three branches of government by expressly NOT moving toward the middle. If there’s one key lesson of the last 20 years it’s that conviction beats compromise. Stand firm on what you believe in.

The unlock AI provides software developers isn't getting the same stuff done faster; it's taking much bigger swings at much bigger concepts than you could ever have dreamed of before. Up-level your scope, not just your productivity.

California should redirect the high speed rail funding into a giant solar&wind battery system. Offsets way more CO2 than the train ever would and would have a material savings impact on utility bills and improved grid reliability, which would be highly popular. @governor.ca.gov

Towns that want AI datacenters should require thise datacenters to subsidize consumer utility costs in the region. Your power bill should be required to go down, not up.

So what’s the over/under on trump shilling his own brand of “improved and extra safe tylenol alternative” within a week or two? Maybe finally a way to dump all that hydroxychloroquine they bought up during Covid?

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.

Blue states governors must establish their own militias and expel all federal military and law enforcement. Now.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Even the hurricane wants none of our bullshit.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

on so many levels and interpretations, the current state of the USA is the results in a severe in prolonged under investment in architecture.

Any democrat who doesn’t support the people’s primary choice for a democratic nominee cannot be allowed to call themselves a democrat any longer. It’s kind of the plain definition of the term. Enough already.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

The justice department being under the executive branch is a huge fucking architecture failure.

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Trump cannot fire Bondi, because she knows what’s actually in the files. Trump can’t keep Bondi without pissing off his base. And he can’t release altered files because people with knowledge would blow the whistle. He’s properly boxed in.

ICE is out of control. This is not law enforcement. It is state violence.

You cannot even go to a doctor’s appointment. This happened at a surgical center in Ontario, California, yesterday.

City planning officials that approve strip mall developments without functional pedestrian sidewalks should be shunned from society.

Ted Cruz : i came home as soon as i heard Press : Ted Cruz : Press : on your orig- Ted Cruz : on my originally scheduled flight yes

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Congratulations to the new DC US attorney!

What you can’t have: -Free speech -Bodily autonomy -Free trade What you can have: -Measles -A private getaway to El Salvador -A career in mining or “screwing in little screws” (which will be automated; you have been warned). -Access to military planning group chats Do I have that about right?

This is the future Lutnick has planned for you & your kids. For his kids? Well, Lutnick appointed his sons Brandon & Kyle, ages 27 & 28, CEOs of the investment firm he led, overseeing 14,000 employees. I’m sure he did an extensive search & they were the most qualified. fortune.com/2025/02/20/h...

Concepts of plans, sketches of deals. These fuckers have nothing.
