24. As Jack Smith said Tuesday, "grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions ... Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Rick Scott CEO…Columbia/HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and paid approximately $1.7 billion in criminal fines, civil penalties and settlements in 2000–2002. At the time, the Justice Department described the case as the largest health-care fraud settlement in U.S. history.

With Trump unleashing insane tirades against regulating AI, Obama just urged Dems to adopt a comprehensive position on it, warning that failure to act now will be "dangerous." Trump's malevolence has given Dems a big opening. They should seize on it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2154...

Most Democrats have more or less the right position on AI. But their arguments are way too narrow to dramatize the real stakes. They should aim higher.

while hacking software automation will certainly be a real problem the anthropic engineer is a kid who is pushing the idea that AI is on the cusp of self-aware superintelligence at which point it will immediately decide to kill us all
Screenshot of a thread of two posts by Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess) on X:

First post:
"Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing."

Second post:
"The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger."

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

Every successful politician knows how to read the room and constantly make micro-adjustments in message, depending on "the room." It's the price of admission. Stick to your main themes; adjust bass/treble. With smooth ones you barely notice this is happening. We all have favorite examples...

A note from Dolly Parton to Eminem in 2022.
Screenshot of a tweet from @Eminem dated 25 August 2026. His text reads: "I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words." Below that, he has included an image of a note signed by (or on a stationery of, or electronic stationery of) Dolly Parton. Her note reads:


Marshall (Eminem),

Congratulations on your induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Your performance was amazing and everybody said so. Even though I don’t know a lot about rap music, I’ve come to know that you are the very best at it. Aside from that I hope what I have to say will not seem weird or strange to you but I have always felt some unexplained connection to you like I know you somehow. I had hoped to meet you at the show but you know how nuts those things are, personally I hate ’em and I missed my chance but maybe someday we’ll meet. In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing because you do it so well and no matter how complex your world may be just know you are very special and touch people in ways you don’t even know.

With love & respect,
Dolly Parton
