Trump’s “super intelligence”? Bad. There is no universal definition of intelligence. We don’t know quite what it is in humans. Whatever abilities LLMs acquire they will not add up to human intelligence. It will be artificial intelligence. Keep calling it that.

David Crowley won the WI Dem primary on a campaign of fear against Hong and the DSA pushed by the Dem establishment, reflecting typical Repub campaign fear strategies and reinforcing Repub narratives about progressive politics. Great job. Did Trump run as a moderate? No. Did Clinton and Harris? Yes.

It would be great if the media in interviews could ask El-Sayed about issues most American voters care about that affect their daily lives, which he talks about every day and has made the centerpiece of his campaign, instead of endless questions about Israel and podcasters.

Presidential removal can be caused by impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate for “high crimes and misdemeanors”. The phrase means abuse of high office, or as Madison wrote: “the misconduct of public men”, not a criminal offense. Is there any doubt Trump has abused the Presidency?
