I've said it elsewhere, but I'll say it here too I suppose. PURE DARVO They know they're lying. They relish their hypocrisy & see it as strength. They wallow & love the confusion it causes. Might makes right is the only thing that matters to them. That and the subjugation of those deemed inferior

This is A16Z's "American Dynamism" project at work. Writing bills to make sure taxpayer money can only go to one of their companies.

I encourage everyone to read this letter. Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

I want to add a small but suggestive experience to this. In a recent piece I did for @newyorker.com about ICE arrests of Democratic officials and lawmakers, we got a comment from the White House, in which a spokesperson said that the magazine was “encouraging lawless behavior” by reporting on it.

This is a startling realization, and really reinforces just how much of an administration-stoked issue this is. Per ABC, there are more troops in LA than Iraq or Syria.

Great – looks as if the White House used AI to draft a health report and wound up inserting citations for articles that don’t exist. They put cheating high schoolers to shame. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

The CBO director is a Republican who worked in the Bush administration and at the conservative think tank AEI. Phill just isn’t a hack and would never do a data crime. These people tell easily verifiable lies nonstop because they don’t give a shit about the truth.

- Jews are 2% of the US population and >75% of us vote Dem. We're a TINY minority and we are ON THE LEFT. - Implying the Jewish vote is some powerful force that can alter the course of the election is fucking antisemitic. - Every Jew I know is excited about Waltz. We are not fucking alienated.
Walz Instead of Shapiro Excites Left, but May Alienate Jewish Voters
Many Jewish organizations backed Harris's pick for running mate, but beneath that public sentiment is unease over
antisemitism on both the left and the right.

The actual Speaker of the House of Representatives thinks that me and my family need to be forcibly relocated to Israel so that we can be slaughtered in Jerusalem in order to awaken Abaddon from his pit of locusts to bring about Armageddon. I am not worried about The Democrats.

Joe Biden has been a passionate advocate for cancer research, and I've seen him give keynote speeches at two separate cancer research conferences. His speeches were well written and informed on key issues in my field. I have my issues with him, but he's the clear pro-science candidate.

First of all it's not a "distraction" that state governments are banning books. Second, the people banning books are *also* gutting public education! It's the same fucking problem! www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/o...
