Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.

Article 1 is Congress. The presidency comes second, in Article 2, and explicitly requires the president to faithfully execute the law as passed by Congress. But that structure implies that the president can break laws without consequence. Or, well, at least this one can. -Sam Alito, paraphrased

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Menin asks the AI execs to "raise your hand if your company has insurance for catastrophic risks." No one does. "Okay, I'm going to take that as a no... So then the public, I assume, will be asked to absorb the costs." Each of the execs then scramble to clarify that they actually don't know.

Only 11% of companies could accurately forecast their AI spending. A separate study found cheaper AI models cost more 32% of the time. So dollars per token is less relevant than dollars per task. AI is like getting a contractor, you know the hourly rate but not how many hours the job will take.

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.
