I like cycling and US policy/public policy. It's great because there is zero overlap and makes for a very interesting feed. Great to see so many of you move here from Twitter! Keep Bluesky great.

U23 Women's update: The peloton that had split in three on the previous lap had the second group catch but the third group lost three minutes and are out of contention. Very attritional race. #procycling #Montreál2026

I haven't seen a polling sequence like this in a while. Today, polls have: Pappas leading Sununu by 8 in NH, & Hamilton leading Marshall by 2 in KS. Yesterday brought Peltola up 6, Brown up 4, Cooper up 15 (and Earls up 15), Talarico up 1 and up 6, El Sayed up 2 and 3.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

Not engaging allows people to maintain their purity. It is not, ultimately, about bringing their issues to the forefront. It's about not dirtying their hands by voting for someone as if the act of not voting isn't also a choice.

Instead of fighting for Maine, Susan Collins has destroyed Roe v. Wade, recklessly funded ICE, threatened rural hospitals, raised gas prices, propped up Big Pharma, and helped slash Medicaid. Maine deserves a senator who actually gives a damn about the working people in this country.

El-Sayed will greatly underperform Dems nationwide and will likely lose his very winnable race. Every other statewide D in MI will do better. All of them. No one's brain will be broken by an obviously weak candidate threatening to be the only Senate seat that flips D to R.

What would have happened? Democrats would have lost by even more than they did. California voters passed a gay marriage ban in 2008. It would have been far worse in 2004.

Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.
