Ol' Kegstand is the kinda "leader" that my Sr. Chief warned us about. "All performance, no preparations". In other words a danger to him and the sailors he was "leading"

Outside of Miami and Florida, does he thinks that's a winning issue with voters? With all of this (waves hands furiously) does the administration believe that voters not in FL give a shit about Cuba?

Honestly, I used to be that guy. I grew up a hockey fan where you don't touch the hardware until you get to the Cup. But this has me rethinking that. Why not have joy?

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.

Trump’s humiliating Iran surrender in one chart: Obama: 98% uranium cut, enrichment capped, sanctions in place, 0 American lives lost. Trump: $25 BILLION unfrozen, sanctions lifted, Hormuz tolls for Iran, 15 dead + 543 injured Americans, $2.2 TRILLION cost. Pure weakness. #TrumpSurrendered

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.

Researchers gave three commercial AI models an exercise typically used to train human military strategists. Each system played the leader of a nuclear-armed country in a standoff. Across 21 simulations, the models chose to use nuclear weapons in all but one game. Read more from Hiranya Peiris.

For AI models, there are currently no safety rules that govern the path of actions, which can leads to unanticipated consequences.

Trump ran as a populist who would focus less on military adventurism and more on America First working-class policies. But his budget shows he is now a deficit-spending interventionist asking working-class Americans to shoulder the cost of war. www.axios.com/2026/04/04/t...

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

pro tip for AI enthusiasts who want people to stop being mean to them: maybe stop talking about how it's going to take everybody's jobs all the time (and if you really do believe that, then 1. consider how that'll come off to the people whose jobs will be lost and 2. become a UBI stan)

Just to clarify - Not having a degree is perfectly fine. Lot's of incredibly smart folks don't have one, and that's okay. What's not okay is his complete lack of experience general lack of leadership.
