All those, “Kamala will immediately get us into a conflict in Iran,” people are really silent right now.

Are they trying to make killing children… fun? I don’t get it. Is it like a, “look how big the United States’ dick is?,” because that’s the opposite of BDE.

Anthropic lost the Pentagon but won over America — The Washington Post A Pentagon ban of Anthropic’s technology shone a spotlight on the company, earning public goodwill and capping a stellar few months for its Claude chatbot.

Claude is great! It has some gaps, like I used to really enjoy ChatGPT’s voice mode but small price to pay to support companies doing the right thing. Sonnet is just as capable as ChatGPT… give it a try! apple.news/Af3LKU0v0RjK...

The kind that required no thought whatsoever

Trump is so malleable by people he personally admires that he probably joined the attack simply because Bibi asked him to.

Minab school bombing: how the worst mass casualty event of the Iran war unfolded – a visual guide — Guardian US A strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school during the US-Israeli bombing campaign killed up to 168 people. The Guardian has pieced together the incident and its aftermath using verified footage and images f...

Simply reprehensible. We need to know, on a fairly immediate basis, who launched this weapon, how the target was selected (was AI involved?), and why the notice interval was so short that parents couldn’t retrieve their children. apple.news/AMhOj1Hz-Qyq...

Republicans use Iran strikes to pressure Dems in DHS funding fight — POLITICO GOP lawmakers argue that homeland security should be prioritized over partisan squabbles as the threat of Iranian attacks rises.

Did Trump attack Iran just to get the DHS funded? apple.news/ABhEKbFvkQMi...

Right? And Thomas seems like he just wants a king unless the law specifically says otherwise. 🙄

Trump signs order imposing ‘temporary’ 10 percent global tariff after Supreme Court ruling — POLITICO The tariff, issued under a different authority than the one the Supreme Court just struck down, can last for 150 days.

Good news, everyone! President Trump has lowered your foreign goods tax to just 10%. apple.news/AHYdW4PuNQse...

Billionaire Epstein Pal Scolded by Lawyer During Deposition: ‘I Will F***ing Kill You’ — The Daily Beast Les Wexner’s lawyer had a warning for the billionaire.

Well, we kinda blew it by making the state police exempt from our own rule. Idk what y’all were thinking.

Their spin and damage control is also very revealing. Like Colbert would have any incentive to lie about this, he’s done in May anyway.

Okay I’m a big proponent of AI and its usefulness but there‘s no way in hell I’m going to let Grok (or Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever) give me _medical advice_. It’s fine for “my ankle hurts should I be worried” and just unqualified (at least for now?) for “read my chart and diagnose me.”

Rev. Jesse Jackson's death prompts outpouring of tributes and praise — NBC News Activists, public figures and the country's most prominent politicians commemorated Jackson, the civil rights pioneer, Baptist minister and two-time presidential candidate.

Amy Coney Barrett explains “very concrete” reasons marriage equality will remain in place — LGBTQ Nation The Supreme Court justice also pushed back against the idea that the Court frequently overturns precedent. Friday, February 13, 2026 Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett photographed in the United ...

Oh what a hypocrite… she voted to make what were optional family planning decisions into mandatory ones by denying half the women in the country basic medical care because her book of fables told her to. I don’t trust her to uphold marriage rights.

California Democrats carved state police out of ICE mask ban. It handed ICE a rare win — San Francisco Chronicle SACRAMENTO — A federal judge blocked California’s police mask ban Monday not because she thought a mask ban in general would be illegal, but because this particular law had an exemption for state poli...

This carve-out is so stupid and hypocritical. Only MY state police can do this. apple.news/AcbgoT_AtRda...

That is the tiniest space for that show and I still struggle to find people.

Homeland Security shutdown grows more likely as Republicans rebuff Democrats' ICE demands — The Associated Press Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Democrats' demands for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic.”

I mean, good. If they can't operate with professionalism and transparency, defund their asses. We win either way. apple.news/A2sWL35DGSLS...

Netflix says users can cancel service if HBO Max merger makes it too expensive — Ars Technica 80 percent of HBO Max subscribers subscribe to Netflix, Sarandos tells Senate.

“You can cancel out of our monopoly if you don’t like it,” isn't a very good argument that you’re not a monopoly. I can cancel with my power company too, but does that increase my quality of life? apple.news/ARflhvrRlSha...

Russia delivers worst attack this year to Ukraine’s power sector — The Washington Post The president said he persuaded Russia’s Vladimir Putin to stop striking Ukraine’s energy grid during a frigid period, but missiles fell on Kyiv hours later.

How many times does Putin need to snow Trump before he learns? All those “Art of the Deal” folks are pretty quiet right now.

Comcast keeps losing customers despite price guarantee and unlimited data — Ars Technica Comcast overhauled Internet plans to stop customer losses. It isn't working yet.

Here’s a hint Comcast: you sucked so hard for so long, ignored customer outrage when you introduced data caps, didn’t deliver your published speeds like ever, supported removing network neutrality rules, and you’re more expensive than most other providers. Hope that helps. apple.news/AwM3uOm4oSgq...

This is like the right’s logic on Ukraine: if only they would capitulate, Russia would stop.

They seem to immediately ignore who instigated the problem when it is someone they support.

It never occurs to them that Trump could, say, simply stop and work to come up with a better, non-violent plan.

Can some ELI5 how a federal court lacks the authority to enforce a federal law?

Okay, for real: when do we put an end to this farce? How far is too far? I feel like we passed that months ago.

It’s also Miller. Trump is just a sycophant.

At this point the “ICE” name itself is going to be counterproductive to real, future immigration policy. I feel like you have to scrap it and start over.

Amazing how quickly they’ll abandon their principles for the prospect of power. I’m guessing Rubio feels like he has to get on board or he will never be President.

The real cutting irony is that he’d probably be aware of how history treats this if he’d read an (unbiased) history book ever.
