I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

@gtconway.bsky.social credits federal judges for keeping the country alive under Trump, but says the courts can't do it alone, which is why this fall's elections matter so much: "The ultimate check is the Congress of the United States, which has been basically AWOL."

True. Trump and Fox spew Islamophobia against good honest humanitarians like Mamdani, El Sayed, Ilhan Omar, yet are fine with Trump and Trump Crime Family selling chips and military secrets, and illegally profiting billions from corrupt, murderous Islamics like MBS and Qataris. The hypocrisy is 100%

The Fed raised interest rates at every meeting from March 2022 through the midterm election. Also hiked a few times in 2018 before a midterm election. Also hiked every meeting from June 2004 through a presidential election. And the Fed was tightening for all of 1994 prior to a midterm election.

Anti-intellectualism is going to kill us all. Trusting experts isn't authoritarian. It's actually the opposite of authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is when the government does whatever the fuck it wants regardless of what the data shows just because it can.
