This is the game right here. The GOP has been planning a wholesale takeover of the government for years. Every year, the secretive, evangelical, conservative Council for National Policy meets to plot ways to institute their fringe christo-fascist beliefs. Here's their mission statement from 2014.

don't forget "moot point"

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

A very important article which explains.exactly.wjy the modern Democratic Party is so feckless—they are paying consultants who tell them to be so, and are incentivized for said Dems to *lose* elections, so they can push for more fundraising, ad nauseum.

I'm an NIH scientist, I'm not anonymous, and RFK Jr is destroying NIH.

In any society with a moral center—especially any country that claimed to intersect with so-called Christian values—dismantling these disgraceful concentration camps should be the first top priority. Second, restitution for victims. Third, criminal charges and civil penalties for leadership.

This is the end of Democracy. For real. If it were even true that there were 20,000 illegal voters in CA, there were legal ways to handle it, and months ago. Federal brute squads policing elections (a State function) is beyond the pale.

Laying it out, straight talk. Beautiful, and patriotic Everything Dr. El-Sayed says here would (very likely) be cheered by the founding fathers, and certainly by the original colonists who were being told they couldn't practice their versions of Christianity. Please get this man into Congress.

So we see how Anthropic values our lives and livelihoods. A release of an AI model is worth 49 lives. Or, $999,999,999. As long as it only kills that many or less (or destroys less than $1.0 Billion), it's fine. What a calculus. All so we can summarize our texts and companies can fire creatives.

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

So if a liar lies constantly, Patrick Healy is arguing, NYT shouldn't point out all the lies, or its audience will think they're not impartial. That the word "lie" would lose its power. 🤯 Absolutely gives away the game here. It's more important for NYT to appear unbiased than to tell the truth.

Amazing. Perfect. No notes.

Could I make six figures from my couch? Influencers said yes – so I tried

US Forces bombed a School in Iran and killed children and their teachers Than they waited until parents and first responders were on site and sent another tomahawk missile, that killed more War Crimes are being committed in our names #VoteBlue

Congratulations to Anne Carson on the Nobel Prize in Literature. Let me show you my copy of her book NOX which is simultaneously an experimental poem and a mixed media art book meditation on grief. There is really nothing like an Anne Carson piece.

Just remembered how mad I was that BSG didn't end with the audience realising they were on our earth in the late 60s/early 70s which would have made perfect sense of why they were all hearing THAT song. And it would've been funny. Starbuck at Woodstock! Massive missed opportunity.

Will anyone ask Trump or @MarshaBlackburn or @BrentTaylorTN about this today? Seems like a clarksville type Q 🤷🏼

We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,600 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients. Explore the database:

Six months ago:

Zelenskyy issues a statement responding to Trump’s deal with Putin to lift sanctions to purchase Russian oil and diesel.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

The alarmists have yet to be wrong 😕🇺🇸

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Do More Evil

Memorable Presidential Quotes In History From FDR: "The only thing we have to fear... is fear itself." From JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." From our Vulgarian-In-Chief:

These are the little ways in which we help each other, build a community, defeat tyranny, and change the world. Do a good turn. Daily.

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

Hey Canada, in case you missed it, here are your separatists 👋

this but with board games

Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

My @propublica.org colleagues have no business running a private school for kids. And yet they were easily able to start schools in two states -- with a third ProPublica Academy pending that would be located inside a North Carolina bar.

Remember: Darwin's note of "I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything" was written on Oct 1 (1861). Thus we are free to celebrate Very Poorly And Very Stupid Hatred Day today.

thanks @juliediamond.bsky.social for sending this to me! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Me

Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man. You step forward, they step back. Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man. Also all Democrats are evil because I said so, says the unjust man.

Since they want to drag us back to the Gilded Age of Robber Barron's & Industrialists & War Profiteering 😤 Let's Tax them like Ike

The Fantastic Fest thread starts here! Bonkers transmissions from the insane film fest!

Absolute stone-cold classic. I might even say better than Yojimbo, but that just depends on the day.

The way ICE has treated Wilbur Garcés Pérez amounts to torture. All of this with a bullet lodged in his back and unable to move the left side of his body. Tomorrow I will visit Wilber with Congressman Greg Casar and report back on his condition.
