Like I keep thinking about Jamelle Bouie's belief that Trump won't fire Hegseth because Hegseth will 100% implement orders to fire on a crowd.

This week’s main story is about the Secret Service, why they’ve had so many close calls in recent years, and why some are privately calling 2028 “Armageddon.” Which we’re sure is just an arbitrary code name and nothing to worry about. Link to full segment in bio!

It decimated the federal workforce - not overhauled it. The elimination of expertise. The destruction of capacity. It also did NOT slash government spending. Spending is UP. It has been reallocated to the secret police and military. Stop publishing falsehoods.

Texas bragging about eliminating the "Delaware-style" implied covenant of *good faith and fair dealing* in contracting is about all you need to know concerning where we are in the race to the bottom.

If your boss asked you what you’d been up to all year, and you sent them a graphic about how you’ve made more than 100 phone calls, you’d get fired, right?
Kash Patel tweet: “This is what happens when you pick up the phone.”

And then there’s a graphic under it bragging that Kash Patel has made 101 phone calls as FBI director

"But if the camera is contained in a charm you wear around your neck, it shifts the agency. Suddenly, you’re not recording people. It’s just a cute little animated avatar looking out on the world." OpenAI poached Jony Ive, (Guy behind Apple 'Minimalist Design') to make this appealing. It's failed.

I actually disagree. I think the real threat to journalism is twofold: billionaires suing an entire class into nonexistence and ad revenue completely drying up, even for indie journalists. The really scary concept for the future of journalism isn’t bias, it’s that it simply disappears.

The disparity between the rich and the poor. If I invest $5,000, I will get 4.5%. So I end up with $5,225. If the rich invest $150,000, they get $32,000,000 back.

The real risk of AI destroying the world is through some bullshit like this honestly
Tweet from Zachary Cohen CNN


NEW: The US military was prepared to board a Chinese vessel in the Middle East earlier this spring -- during war with Iran -- after an intel report concluded it was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program. 

But just before the planned operation, officials discovered the report had been generated w/ help of AI & chatbot used by the analyst inaccurately identified what the ship was carrying, sources tell @KatieBoLillis & me.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
