A withdrawal of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence could have a chilling effect on future real estate nepo babies' ability to coordinate the world's largest spy network.

The Tariff Transparency Act, sponsored by Assemblywomen Annette Quijano and Rosy Bagolie, was advanced by committee last week to bring clarity to the checkout line by requiring retailers to disclose how much of a product’s price is driven by tariffs and import taxes. youtube.com/shorts/u8ZRb...

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
A screenshot of repo web page that reads:

Title: Remove Windows Ai

Why?
The current 25H2 build of Windows 11 and future builds will include increasingly more AI features and components. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.

I considered creating an interface between my bsky feed and a LLM so I could fact check suspicious posts. But after looking at my feed I realized I don't need such a service. My bsky feed isn't riddled with bull 💩 slop content.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Leaders like Obama giving fireside chats are somewhat helpful, I guess. But this is not the leader the Democrats need now. We need leaders willing to go toe to toe. Like Newsom, Pritzker, Mamdani, AOC, and Abughazaleh. Not Jefferies, Schumer. Certainly not Cuomo. My opinion.

Right! The CNN commentary shows the perverse incentives driving media coverage of politics. It isn't about providing the electorate information. It is clickbait to increase ratings and ad revenue.

I read the article. He isn't concerned about the destruction of our constitutional republic. He primarily worries about the effects of Trump's tariffs, comparing them to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. But he is blasé about Trump's authoritarianism, unrepentant about his leadership decisions.

The image shows a living room scene with a calico cat lying on a beige ottoman. The cat has a black, white, and orange coat and looks at the camera with green eyes. On the ottoman, there is a black box with a transparent lid, possibly containing headphones, and a brown smartphone with a case. In the background, there is a brown sofa with a floral pillow and a white blanket draped over it. A fireplace with a white mantel is visible on the left side of the image. The room has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with a patterned rug on the floor.
