If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

like to extend some logic around here, he's not stopping them from protesting but 1. you still really don't want the military this close to free speech activity as law enforcement; 2. if he was going to stop them, this is also how that would start

The obvious counter messaging here is that this culture war shit is the way people are being distracted from their material concerns. ppl in rural Alabama are hurting with the cost of fuel and food right now, and their legislators are wasting their time and the state's money with this nonsense.

at my last job the company had an ex-FBI head of security who would follow up on any death threats and usually reassured me with something like “we looked into the guy and he doesn’t travel outside a 50-mile radius of his small Texas town.” whether that could be part of the issue, who’s to say

James Talarico I cannot emphasize enough how not-working the constant ActBlue texts, emails, and ads are for encouraging me to donate to your campaign. Your desire to defeat dark money but asking non-stop for my money pales in comparison to sending a single (1) canvasser to neighborhoods.

Yet another Democrat has released an ad decrying "boys in girls sports." This Democrat is NY-21's Democratic candidate for congress, Blake Gendebien. You can watch his full ad in our latest story. He joins several other Democrats releasing similar ads this cycle.

This corresponds with a modest, but growing, trend: Democrats are capitalizing on anti-trans hysteria, or otherwise leaning into Republican narratives on so-called culture war issues.

Murder rates fell 38% from 2020 to 2025. What changed? Billions in federal dollars went to community violence prevention, mental health services, and related work. Increasing evidence says those investments may have contributed. We unpack what happened and how. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Crime Prevention and Mental Health Spending May Have Contributed to Drop in Violent Crime
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the federal government spent billions of dollars shoring up state and local budgets and funding new public safety initiatives.

This is a great example of one of the ways AI is actually going to endanger / kill huge numbers of people. Shitty chatbots cause their special sort of brain rot to the people who package intelligence for our shot-callers. They take the bad ideas from there. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

The current plan is to solve [alignment] at speed in the next couple of years, probably making heavy use of automated AI safety researchers. The plan is literally to make some pretty smart models in the next year that can basically do safety research and get a whole swarm of them running in parallel. Tell them, "Go and solve the whole problem of safety," and use them to do the safety training for the next model.
