He is remarkably consistent in supporting alleged perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence and attacking their victims

Ukraine doesn’t hold Americans hostage for leverage

This summer, as my family worried over recalls and slashed federal inspection capacity, I built a recall service that indexes over 100 sources, including retailers, state agencies, and overseas authorities. Check it out. Stay safe! www.recall411.com

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Innocent civilians are being murdered with dirt-cheap and essentially impossible to ban tiny flying robots at shocking numbers globally (read our piece below). We have REAL, CURRENT cyberpunk horrors to deal with right now, and we don’t need to waste our time on hypothetical AI basilisks.

The socioeconomic impact of the Inquisition can still be measured in Spain.

After President Donald Trump told attendees at the Republican midterm convention Thursday night that "we want honesty in our elections," he led them in a pledge to "cheat like hell" and "go out and vote" in the midterm elections. https://to.pbs.org/4yTjfzl

Just an FYI: the judge didn’t block the USPS ballot scanning rule from going into effect, she blocked them from making it mandatory. Make sure you have a back up plan to vote.

The CDC updated its national measles tracker Friday. Pennsylvania’s two reported deaths are still missing. I watched Trump & his team pressure the CDC from inside the White House in 2020. I know what it looks like when politics starts colliding with public health. Déjà vu, anyone?👇

Grotesque

Judge Eric Tostrud (Trump appointee): "Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

He didn’t do it on porpoise

Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln. Trump: No they’re not. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.

Trump promised Americans a new golden age. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a golden age for diarrhea and white-collar crime www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-gif...

The ADL has a website dedicated to attacking Mamdani staffers—including my friend Waleed Shahid. The ADL is applying a level of scrutiny to him they aren’t applying to literal neo-Nazis working in the federal government. Waleed has a Jewish wife and child. The ADL is a disgrace.

The experience of being chased by a murderous kamikaze drone, a flying machine that behaves as if it were alive, is not one that humans are equipped to understand: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Small drones are killing more civilians than ever before - and we need to act. Here’s my thoughts on what we need to do, like establishing a center dedicated to evaluating and investigating drone attacks, training investigators, and explaining how IHL applies to self-defense against drones:

Friday: Capital One reveals they debanked Trump debanked bc he was laundering money. Sunday: Acting Attorney General solidifies promise Trump's tax crimes won't be punished.

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive." --James Baldwin

This is not just about rewriting the past; it's also an effort to make any future effort to hold this administration responsible for its brazen criminality seem like more "weaponization of the justice system"

A single interest group whose primary mission is to represent the interests of another country has spent $30 million on a *primary race* www.ap.org/news-highlig....

A U.S. government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a ⁠global conference www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is all a crazy effort to rewrite the past, yes. But what's really terrifying is hearing these people tell us how badly they're going to fuck up the *next* pandemic they're now creating without that nerd Fauci holding them back.

Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.

Hegseth is a national embarrassment, who again, was not the host of Fox and Friends, but the WEEKEND host of Fox and Friends. He was not even the most qualified leader of Fox and Friends.

I do find it amazing that even in this moment, the Dems can't come up with some sort of "Contract for America" like language that offers an alternative to Trump. Maybe they have it, but whatever governing vision they have is lost in the noise.

Things will get worse as more students secretly use AI to do homework. There has always been a divide between those who care about education for its own sake and those who only care about grades, but AI will worsen this divide, leaving fewer people with the ability to do causal reasoning.

I think a party that can welcome anti-Trump Republicans can also embrace members of the DSA. I think it should, actually

“All of them said very strongly, ‘Finish that ballroom.’”

Someone in DC set up a “little free blockbuster” with DVDs inside instead of books lol

Sometimes I imagine the administration spinning a big wheel like on The Price Is Right each morning, waiting to see what provision of the Constitution they should violate today

What happens when a Fox News host runs a war for a president who calls our troops “suckers.”

So nice of Argentina to occasionally stop being violent in order to play football

Not many people know this, but if you're the defending champions they can't give you any yellow cards

run them out of every part of polite society. years ago sarah huckabee sanders was asked to leave a restaurant and there was much clutching of pearls, but this is exactly what SHOULD happen when you enable a fascist regime.

"Under the change, responsibility for investigating cases involving federal immigration officers would likely fall to Homeland Security Investigations, an arm of ICE, effectively leaving the agency to investigate itself, according to guidance circulated among F.B.I. and ICE agents."

The same dangerous dingdongs claimed the Mueller report was a total exoneration, because if they’re confident about anything it’s that their base doesn’t read

Ossoff points out that Trump's conspiracy theories "put Georgia Rs in a terrible bind, because now not only do they have to defend this president's economic record, not only do they have to defend doubling health insurance premiums, they also have to defend all these bizarre conspiracy theories"

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
