While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

oh my god -- Sean Duffy on Fox & Friends this morning announced that he spent parts of *7 MONTHS* (more than half a year!) on a roadtrip with his family to celebrate America's 250th anniversary

Someone is gonna lose an eye.

But this is no time to be demoralized, because we know it does not have to be this way. We can mobilize around reform, new laws, and where necessary, constitutional amendments for fairer government.

This thread…so worth the read.

Most industries develop a new product in response to some perceived need or as an improvement on some existing product. If the product is good, consumers adopt it. The AI industry is forcing a product on the consumers, whether or not they want it. An incomplete, unfinished product at that.

Good thread.

Why does fiction matter? Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people. A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives. ⏰📚💙📚🎧 #books #reading #fiction

Not exactly. In the article, you read the Biden administration funded the upgrade to the system. The upgrades have made the evaluations faster and more efficient. The current administration is taking credit for the work of Biden. (Again)

15 dead 🇺🇸 ≈ 500 wounded 🇺🇸 And we’re not even back to where we started And our evil dictator wants credit for ending the war he started without our permission when it’s not even over It’s stupifying It’s absurd It’s a tragedy and a national embarrassment It ought to be his final transgression

As a career national security professional it pains me to say that I don’t trust the current leaders in FBI/NSA/CIA to do the right thing with the broad surveillance authorities and I’m OK with shutting them down…we will lose an edge but the cost to our citizens’ rights is too high with this govt…

Absolutely accurate summation.

How about "Come up with the actual dollar amount in two weeks or we're taking legal measures that include jail" Instead of "I feel disappointed by that non-answer to required Congressional scrutiny. Oh well, I guess I'll just stock-trade away my feelings"

Vought is one of the main creators of Project 2025. He has no business being near a government agency, not to mention leading one. He’s a Nazi monster and dangerous. He must be held accountable. Whatever it takes.

Make Antichrist Get Apocalypse, also known as MAGA was a fascist cult during the early 21st century which lead to unfathomable corruption, lawlessness, stupidity as well as a disturbing desire to end the world.

I wrote a letter to the IRS along with a check drafted for 3/5 of my fed taxes. It explains that I can’t be complicit in the crimes of this amuck regime. I paid 3/5 in hope that that money will go to key social programs. Of course, I know giving anything makes me complicit & must live this shame.

“Bring X to its knees” isn’t the style of commentary I have come to appreciate S&S for. What kind of headline is this? What happened to just the facts?

ANALYSIS | The last-ditch U.S. effort to bring Iran to its knees through a naval blockade in the Persian Gulf is a gamble that will take tremendous resources and come with serious risks. Will it pay off?

Good advice.

PSA It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to be angry, unfocused, traumatized. It means you still have a shred of empathy left Do not try to weather this alone. Reach out to friends and allies. Many of us are feeling the same things. Support each other. Remind each other of the good still in this world 💚

“We need to imagine a more democratic, more egalitarian, more generous country, one that operates in recognition of an abundance of wealth that should serve all of us – and nature and future generations too – rather than is driven by the moral poverty of billionaires.” -R. Solnit

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Yeah, not a SINGLE mansion or castle still occupied in New York: I guess all those Republican cultists were right. Gosh, did you see the long line of moving trucks leaving NTC? (DO the ultra-wealthy even use trucks? Maybe helicopters...or maybe just armies of "poors" like litter-bearers, but then
