This is incredible. If Sen. “Hawkeye” Schmitt has an ounce of integrity, or a microgram of shame, he’d apologize. He’s a “dirtbag.” youtu.be/LWjh_T7508A?...

There is nothing inevitable about AI. The idea that oddball engineers and investors whom nobody elected, and most people revile, should somehow have the first and last word about how AI is regulated is absurd. Musk and Zuckerberg should not have ANY influence over the future of human society.

Team Trump playing us, and Hakeem Jeffries already cutting deals are not mutually exclusive. Both things can be true. Why would Jeffries even talk with that entitled, corrupt asswipe?

Michelle Goldberg (NYTimes):That Herrera has flown somewhat under the radar is a testament to a fundamental asymmetry between the parties, as well as in our discourse about them.

Trump is bringing back the worst of American imperialism from the 1950s and 1960s which culminated in the Vietnam disaster. First Venezuela, next is Cuba. And Greenland isn’t off the table. And where are the “leaders” of the Dems? Crickets. They’re more interested in opposing “socialists.”

Bill Cassidy is a sniveling coward with no dignity. His rationale for confirming Blanche, that as a confirmed AG he’d be more independent of Trump, is ridiculous on its face. An acting AG and a confirmed AG can be fired w equal capriciousness by Trump. What a jackass.

Those saying Cornyn and Tillis had nothing to lose bc their political careers are over are misguided. Cornyn likely wants to be a lobbyist and will make big money at it. Tillis may run for Gov of NC in 2 years when he’s “only” 68. These guys are chicken-shit careerists.

Blanche’s written assurances on the weaponization fund will turn out to be meaningless. Trump will order DOJ to implement it and Blanche will say he has no alternative but to follow orders. This is so predictable.

The NY Times has reported as news that Mayor Mamdani’s “criticism” of Israel is partly responsible for the tragic stabbing of a Jewish man. Some Jews opposed to Mamdani promote this narrative. But it’s BS. It’s more likely that Netanyahu’s genocide is responsible - the Times would never report that.

Governor Whitmer (MI) has made it clear that her political career is over after she completes her term as Governor. By vetoing 9 pro-worker bills, in defiance of every other elected state Democrat and the labor movement, she has revealed herself to be an adversary of working people.

Enough of the blaming. I can’t stand the Democratic establishment, Schumer, the new progressive consultants recruiting “outsiders” who will “fight” etc. But Maine primary voters voted in large numbers for Platner despite the red flags. So, let’s move on to November because we can win this thing.

As Tim O’Brien @timobrien.bsky.social says, everything Trump touches dies. Knicks hadn’t lost a game in weeks and then Trump shows up and they lose their only game in 2 months. Now, the USMNT goes down as Trump inappropriately inserts himself. So much winning. And even more whining.

No sympathy for John Bolton. He’s a lying war monger who was too extreme for both Bush & Trump. Yes, he’s outspoken anti-Trump. So what? He said he wrote in vote for Dick Cheney twice rather than vote for Biden or Harris. Traitors who disclose classified info for their own enrichment belong in jail.

JD Vance’s glib dismissal of Nixon’s crimes in Watergate is getting a lot of attention. Rightly so. But he’s saying the quiet part out loud: what Trump and his corrupt acolytes are doing is worse, so much worse. Watergate, by comparison, really is quaint. Wow.

So, now we have the arrest of the anarcho-terrorist ex-Olympian reflecting pool “vandal” who isn’t a vandal. It follows the arrest & later exoneration of the “sandwich bomber.” Meanwhile, the commander in sleep pardons convicted money launderers who facilitate terrorism and fentanyl importation.

Much has been said about the Qatari 747 that Trump accepted as a gift, had retrofitted, and announced he would keep after he leaves office. However, US law states that gifts from foreign sources are US government property. If Trump keeps it, he has to pay merket value.

John Bolton is copping a plea in his mishandling classified docs case. He’s obviously guilty, but unlike Trump, he didn’t have the actual docs. Like Trump, he lied about it. Another cautionary tale about “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Bolton has always been a lying war monger.

I understand the argument that $100 or $200 million of GOP money will now be necessary to to support Paxton. But between Musk, Zuck, Bezos, AIPAC and the other tech bros and financiers who now back the GOP, these additional funds are the equivalent of lunch money. Their money is unlimited.
