Donald Trump: "It's called a cog-a-nit-ta-tive test. Very tough." The test is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. It’s a tool used to screen patients for dementia.

Senate Dems will send over 100 election observers to nine states for midterms
Observers will be on the ground to document voter interference efforts, along with threats against election workers, disinformation tactics and any other attempts to meddle with voting.

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

Question reporters should be asking every Republican elected: Your president trusts Putin, praises Putin, is beholden to Putin, and wants to help Putin annex more of Ukraine. What are you going to do about it?

That’s the grisly thing about any new story of corruption in this administration, of which this certainly won’t be the last. Every new outrage only serves to remind us how many the public has already, somehow, been willing to swallow.

Crucially, all of Trump's more recent impeachment-worthy conduct has taken place against the backdrop of worsening economic conditions. This is perhaps the biggest difference between today and 2019.

I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview. IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing. Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵
