Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

OMFG I hear you. I had a state car and gas card for a while, while working for a nonprofit, as in-kind support. Before software entered the picture even, but still. Two masters. Like a Joseph Heller short story.

🚨 Obama rejects the argument that the market and lawsuits alone can keep AI companies in check: “That’s not how we treat airlines, or drug companies, or food companies.” He says there’s “no replacement” for effective government regulation.

I vacilate between thinking some frequently dumped on people are just victims of SM bullshit, and then seeing they really are purveyors of said bullshit. Hint: economics is complex.

NEW POLL: 53% of Americans support expanding the Supreme Court, including majorities of both Democrats and independents. Two weeks ago, House Dems stood united to keep that option on the table. Happy Constitution Day! law.marquette.edu/poll/

i don't accept the argument that if you cut foreign aid—even valuable, well targeted foreign aid (which some of usaid was)—you're responsible for killing people.
this should be obvious. so it will probably be controversial.

Tillis prodded a rape survivor to go public with allegations against Hegseth, promising her that it would sink the nomination of a dangerous man to a powerful position. She did, at significant risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote in favor of Hegseth. He has always been a coward.

Reminder there is no evidence that any initial statements by ICE or DHS should be trusted — and reporters should state that in all coverage and stories. Every ICE shooting we’ve seen the agency lie about the circumstances.
