I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

The Teamsters need to be put so far out in the cold, if (insha’allah) there’s a Dem trifecta in 2029, that they mistake their offices for a blast chiller.

"Meanwhile, anti-abortion groups were reassured that their concerns could wait until post-November, with some being told that plans to weaponize the Comstock Act—a centuries-old anti-drug law—would carry on once a perilous midterms season had passed." www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Oh, So This is the Admin Doing Its Best to STFU About Abortion Until After the Midterms?
A new report says the White House told the DOJ to stand down on carrying out its anti-abortion agenda until after the midterms. Which, um... how much worse could this all get?

1) Alito revealing this now is an attempt to rally Republicans in Trump states where Dems lead for Senate. 2) He’s the most partisan R on the court—highly likely he steps down in the lame duck if Dems take the Senate. 3) Doing number 2) makes court expansion even more likely if Dems win in 2028

Mark Zuckerberg tells investors that his AI push is a huge success. But when it files its taxes, Meta tells the IRS its giant data centers are an experiment that might fail. Why? Because calling them an experiment lets Meta claim a tax credit meant for real research.

this is exactly my opinion. there may be a superstrate of extremely difficult and unique safety problems around AI, but the substrate is simply that no one takes basic precautions seriously becasue they imagine (or pretend to imaigne) that it is futile, and basic precautions slow down launches.

When we call him a Nazi, it's not hyperbolic. He's an actual Nazi. He's rounding up the "others" and putting them in camps. The German Nazi's concentrated the death camps in Poland. Miller is doing it in other countries too. German Nazis murdered over 300,000 disabled people. Miller wants more.
