It is mind boggling to me that people actually believe that this is all going to miraculously change on November 3. Meanwhile, the entire world just watched, for 22 months, that America can’t be trusted and Americans are complacent; LIKE NAZI GERMANY. WISE WORDS BELOW. A nice shot of reality.

I agree. People can vote out the dictator, but if they leave all the machinery in place that allowed him to be a dictator then nothing has really changed. An authoritarian state run by committee is still an authoritarian state.

I'm not among those saying LLMs can't do anything useful. They clearly can. They're also already making military targeting errors, helping mass shooters, encouraging suicide, causing learning loss, creating disinfo, disrupting job markets, and other real, current—not hypothetical future—problems.

As Trump boasts about how much money the fossil fuels industry is making from the war on Iran, his personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5–$81.6 million, up from $12.6–$46 million at the end of 2025. He's personally profiting from the war, just as he said in the campaign rally.

this kind of democratic move is important on the merits - actually limiting presidential lawlessness. it's also important as a way to highlight how the administration violates basic legal constraints, even in the face of oversight, for the post-trump accountability agenda.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

That was brave reporting indeed, from the whole team. This is how the fascists treated white Jewish American, Heidi Levine. Secunda Kermani and his colleagues were at serious risk of harm or even death.

It may have been a loathsome demonstration of a complete moral failure, ruining his chances of higher office, but at least he could go out with his head high, knowing he did the right thing (lose).
