This is what most people mean when they say AI bubble but they don't know it... also... we will shrug it off like the Dotcom bubble vs The gains from the existence of the internet. AI like politics... will be local.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

The “We’re not Nazis”-Party gleefully cheers the Republican’s version of Hitler’s Editors Law which prohibited media and news from access to political leaders and from publishing anything deemed detrimental to the Nazi Party.

If we were a real country, we'd invoke the 25th Amendment. If we were a real country, Trump and McConnell would spend the rest of their days playing parcheesi with each other, and neither would have any idea who was winning. If we were a real country, Trump would be a joke, not a President.

Republicans couldn’t get enough bringing up Benghazi, but 19 Americans dead and over 700 WIA in Trump’s War in Iran is “small potatoes.” That’s how much MAGA respects the military.

Trump is trying to pull off a US-style version of the Tiananmen Square Massacre coverup where everyone in China who remembered what happened on June 4, 1989 knows *exactly* what they must not admit and is utterly terrified to speak the truth. I never imagined seeing such abject cowardice in the US.

Early in January 2025, American Healthcare Systems ordered dozens of furloughs to a hospital in Illinois. The staff that remained knew the facility’s surveillance system was largely broken. One week after the cuts, a patient froze to death on the roof.

A for-profit hospital slashed costs. Then a patient froze to death on its roof.

A little-known company grew on promises to save distressed hospitals. Instead, it sunk them into financial chaos.

NEW evidence shows executives from 3 egg companies plotted to raise your prices. Price fixing is ILLEGAL. But Trump’s Justice Department is giving them a mere slap on the wrist. How small? The largest egg company only has to cough up 0.001% of its profit last year. Shameful.

The “unitary executive” theory is thinly disguised justification for authoritarianism. The conservatives on the Supreme Court have given the U.S. president the power of monarchs. This is happening days before our nation's 250th anniversary. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering.

Donald Trump isn't taking the RNC's defeat in the Supreme Court very well. I agree it was a "tremendous loss" for him and the GOP. I am always happy to oblige in delivering him court defeats.😂 Thankfully, it was a great victory for voters and free and fair elections!
