BREAKING: We just sued Jared Kushner for unlawfully acting as one of the country's top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures. It’s abundantly clear that he should be blocked from performing this outsized role: www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

I had an old boss who voted in every election but wrote in “Mickey Mouse” because he thought that all politicians were crooks, and every time we do protest vote discourse I’m struck by how it feels like a lot of people are looking for a way to do that while feeling righteous

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

The U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars
The billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

Musk unilaterally shut off a defensive capability just as Russia attacked power plants with winter approaching I don't know why anyone trusted him before, but certainly nobody can afford an Elon Musk dependency after this

New in PN: Republicans learn to love DOJ weaponization "With early voting underway, Omar got agents at her door at 6am, when her 14-year-old was inside, over a theory cooked up on an anonymous message board. Republicans never objected to weaponizing the DOJ. They just wanted custody of the weapon."

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

People have talked themselves into believing Donald Trump is a wizard who can do anything he wants with no pushback. And it's an exhausting type of nihilism. "He's just going to steal the election and declare martial law, who's going to stop him" is code for "there's no point in voting."

Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you. What you don't do is despair and stay home.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'
Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.
