The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war. Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

Lieu: How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump in trying to steal the election and stealing classified documents than about Trump's associations with Epstein

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free. Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

The term Antifa is a shortening of antifascism. It's NOT a formal organization. It's a belief. A really good one. The stupidity of trying to declare it a "terrorist organization" is just ludicrous. It would be like doing the same thing with the word democracy. What the hell is so hard about this?!

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Campaign group Everyone Hates Elon have installed a spoof tribute to Jeffrey Epstein from Donald Trump on a bench at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland. It comes after US lawmakers published an Epstein 'birthday book' with an alleged note from Trump.
The bench plaque, which adapts a real quote from Trump describing Epstein as a ‘terrific guy’ in 2002 and alludes to rumours around the President’s health, reads: “In loving memory of Jeffrey Epstein - a terrific guy. See you very, very soon. From Donald.”

Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."
