Donald Trump has fallen asleep 30 times during public events. So far. I don’t know what it means, but that feels worth mentioning.

This thread terrifies me. I’m a member of the Connecticut Lottery’s board of directors, which means I am a regulator for gambling systems. These digital betting platforms terrify me, including the ones I help oversee. My most basic concern is maintaining fairness…

Still can’t get over Tammy Duckworth’s new Durbin-esque schtick. “Trump’s unpopular, incompetent, and committing countless crimes, so we better find a way to work with him and forget about impeachment.”

Around 28 years ago, on the first day of his internship, my sister’s then-boyfriend was asked to introduce himself to his coworkers and say a little about himself. After the meeting, his new boss asked him to stay back and showed him a tally sheet. Each mark represented a time he had said “like.”

Either he knows this is false and is lying about 9/11 to boost his own image, or he actually believes this happened. I leave it to you to decide which is worse in a sitting president.

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

Two things that HAVE to be stressed here: 1. PDs widely adopted Flock’s boilerplate terms of service rather than developing or going to elected officials to develop tailored policies for use; and 2. Those boilerplate terms allow Flock to make “upgrades to system or platform” as they see fit.
2.12 Upgrades to Platform. Flock may, in its sole discretion, make any upgrades to system or platform that it deems necessary or useful to (1) maintain or enhance (a) the quality or delivery of Flock's products or services to its agencies, (b) the competitive strength of, or market for, Flock's products or services, (c) such platform or system's cost efficiency or performance, or (ii) to comply with applicable law. Parties understand that such upgrades are necessary from time to time and will not materially change any terms or conditions within this Agreement.

ICE killed someone in Biddeford, Maine this morning, the 11th fatal ICE or Border Patrol shooting since January. Of nearly 200 people detained in Maine's "Operation Catch of the Day," only 11 had criminal convictions. This is an occupation where our bodies fill their quota.

They’re defiant about how he’s going to resign (and when you’re leaving in disgrace, what’s so bad about a little extortion on the way out?), but this is most definitely confirmation that he is, in fact, quitting.

Google AI is so completely broken that the fact they haven’t taken it down and slinked away in shame over foisting it on users is one of the great mysteries of the business world today.
Google AI stating (correctly) that open carry of firearms is illegal in Connecticut. Google AI stating (incorrectly) that “open carry is generally legal in Connecticut.” The source it cites for that (incorrect) statement actually says the exact opposite.

The chutzpah is so massive that I assume his campaign staff has mostly bolted and anyone left has accepted that their time in Democratic politics is done, so they’re trying to get one last squeeze in before racing off to form their scam PACs.
