I'm so over Republicans blaming the teetering economic situation and affordability crisis on the Biden Administration when they know perfectly well it was actually Hillary Clinton's emails.

When Steve Jobs told Dropbox "you're a feature, not a product" in 2009, he wasn't just playing the long game—he was seeing reality with absolute clarity. iCloud rolled out two years later and now has a billion users. Why this matters for OpenAI and Anthropic today... 🧵👇

Trump's not pardoned his best. He's pardoning people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.

“If a government’s actions in a democracy require masks — if the people being governed in that democracy cannot know who is acting — that is a problem with what the government is doing, not with the governed.”

Trump is now calling for “nationalizing” the midterms. “Call me alarmist, but remember: The alarmists have been right, and the people telling us to calm down have been wrong, every step of the way.” paulkrugman.substack.com/p/american…

@davidpierce.xyz you were probably quipping when you said “great timing, because all my AirTag batteries are dying” — JIC… you know you can replace the battery in AirTags, right?

Friends, our democracy is at risk. We need all the allies we can get. Coalitions require compromise to move the ball forward. Stop throwing people under the bus because of purity tests.

Donald Trump via Twitter:

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran.  He is desperate.

MAGA's Newspeak use of "anti-DEI" targets civil rights protections just as their faux "anti-semitism" campaign targets free speech. And their virulent anti-immigrant hatred/party of Christian values posturing is pure doublethink. Happy Easter, George Orwell!

ICE Raids Are an Escalation of Our Long-Simmering De Facto Cold Civil War

I'm screaming. *Now* the #BrokenTimes calls the economy "remarkable" and reports on Trump's threats to it. Before the election, they were shouting about the price of eggs.
Where Does a ‘Remarkable’ U.S. Economy Go From Here?
America’s economy is far outstripping its peers, but there are serious risks, including from the president-elect.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.
