spent half an hour responding to an AI-generated email from a client, asking questions we've discussed before. If they had written an email themselves it's pretty likely they would recall the prior conversations, but by outsourcing their thinking to Claude, they forgot to think at all.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

Counterpoint: Stephen and Jared, keep fighting. you're both ugly in different ways

Girls! Stop fighting. You're both pretty..

Trump: "You have Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed. Everybody is basically. If you're in doubt about somebody's name from the Middle East, just say 'Mohammed.' You have about a 65% chance."

I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.

This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe.

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

This. Is Amy ideal or even great? No. Is Demuth immeasurably worse? Absolutely.

Jeb Rach@jebrach.com

Give Klobuchar a DFL House and Senate, and there will be plenty of positive policy and budget movement. Give DeMuth a DFL House and Senate, and we'll be lucky to have a state budget next year. Primary is the time for protest voting. General is to vote for the least-bad viable candidate.

My lawyer? Oh, you wouldn't know her, she's an attorney when she moves to China. Honestly, it's refreshing to see that Russia isn't the only country that can get its spies hired within the Trump white house...

Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

Well, I just got my first Actblue spam text fundraising on the raid of Ilhan's home, so that's nice.

I would love, absolutely love, at least one prominent contender for the Dem POTUS nomination in 2028 to start threatening this now. "Trump is right that lying on immigration forms is a serious offense. Here are the people my DOJ will investigate on Day 1: Musk, Melania, etc." Put fear in them NOW.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Looking forward to the same scrutiny being impartially applied to Elon Musk and Melania Trump, whose immigration documents are much much worse than anything alleged about Omar's father

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Would it kill the police to enforce cell-phone-in-car laws? Because it's going to kill the rest of us if they don't.

Accountants say: fuck you JD. Keep our trade out of your trash mouth.

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.' But if you're bringing in an accountant... "

I mean he's not wrong, but he's not right in the way that he thinks he is...

just catching up on JD Vance telling Hannity that Jeffrey Epstein is actually "a great character reference" for Donald Trump 😳

$20 million represents the total income tax payments of 1,053 households. A thousand American families worked full time for a whole year just to pay for Trump’s campaign ads.

The White House calls Trump’s taxpayer-funded TV ad “education.” Education about what? That a president can use government money to put himself on TV while people are trying to cover rent, groceries, and gas? That arrogance costs all of us. #PayToPlayPresident

And by "without authorization" they mean "not white"

Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social

After nearly two years of claims on Fox News that Trump’s deportation operations were targeting the “worst of the worst,” the administration acknowledged that it's attempting to go after every person it thinks is in the U.S. without authorization.
