When Anthropic was created, its co-founders pledged to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the company to philanthropic causes. As they prepare to take the company public, they appear to be walking back that pledge.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

For my last Better Win a District, I wrote about TN-09. Republicans gerrymandered Memphis, the Blackest city in Tennessee, out of a seat in the House. Or at least they tried. Then along came Justin Pearson. Now TN-09 is a real fight. www.liberalcurrents.com/better-win-a...

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Great burn of JD Vance here too: "I don't know that he's convincing as the alpha male of the Republican Party."

Interesting. In our pod chat Nicole Hemmer and I discuss whether JD Vance can replicate Trump's misogynistic magic or whether the conditions for it have passed:

Trump’s visit to Mississippi to save a Senate seat, during which he failed to draw a crowd (approximately only 1,400 MAGA cronies), shows that his influence, and that of the Republican Party, is collapsing, which works to the Democrats' advantage! #ProudBlue #DV1

You’ll notice the American state media treated Hunter Biden’s laptop, the lies spread about him by GOPers and his selling of paintings as more of a earth shattering story than criminal slumlord committing treason by taking billions of dollars in bribes whilst shaping US foreign policy. Disgusting.

Republicans are laser-focused on enacting policies that create the conditions for suffering. They love to lecture us about the "sanctity of life" as they champion abortion bans that kill women. VOTE YES ON PROP ONE IN IDAHO!

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

In battleground Senate races, almost 13% of Hispanic and 11% of AAPI early voters didn't vote at all. Compare that to 3% of white early voters. Why does that matter? In early vote analysis you have to consider if these voters would have just voted anyhow...

“DOJ documents indicate that, in 2019, FBI interviewed a Jane Doe who came forward to allege abuse in SC in 1983. Initially, a 3rd party contacted FBI to share that Jane Doe, when 13–14 years old, allegedly “bit Trump while performing oral sex” & then he “hit [her] in the face after she laughed.”

Donald Trump and his administration are telling you that you’re on your own during a hurricane, tornado, fire, or flood. Know that Illinois will keep fighting to make sure you’re protected when disaster strikes.
