Ah yes, the senator who challenged a witness to a fistfight during a hearing will definitely bring a steadier hand.
Much as the senator who keeps confusing Iran and Iraq and apologized because he "was mispoke" there will surely help restore public confidence.
I remember people saying after Bush left office that it would be decades before another Republican would be elected president again because he was so bad.It just goes to show how people are not willing to hold these people accountable for their actions, but seem to have very short memories as well.
From Reconstruction to Ford pardoning Nixon to Trump skating on a whole ass insurrection, we can't keep letting wealthy failsons dodge accountability.
They've made it pretty clear that this is their goal for everyone else, so...
Don't do this
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon sayingβ¦

You gotta see yourself in the future
"Who gives a shit about foreign countries targeting American soldiers in the reckless war we started?" is just a hell of a take for a White House press secretary
It's impossible to explain how crazy this was unless you were there. It bled into normal society. Lin was so famous in NYC at the moment that people were name dropping him to get tough restaurant reservations and it was working
It is funny to me though how all of a sudden some people who bleat on and on and on about accountability and co-governance go silent when it is in fact time to push back hard.
When politicians don't honor their promises, our work is to make them. To do that, we have to build enough power to make them. I understand why people get disappointed but this is unfortunately how things work in politics.
Maine - If you don't want your next Senator to possibly be a Nazi, then I would encourage you to follow and support @andrealaflamme.bsky.social .Please give this a boost folks!
They always choose the stupidest most dishonest thing to do and it's going to get more people killed. Blocking a terror alert does not eliminate the threat. It just means we will have no idea it's coming.

Black people are not allowed to talk amongst themselves without white people feeling its their duty to police those conversations. The response from white people to this statement by Kamala Harris is an example. Those responses to her statement are also a glowing example of hit dogs hollering.
I hear you.
Among elders who supported him, Biden's history showed that he'd learned. I don't get it, but I listen.
I've said, "Why support him after Anita Hill?" Discourse is key.
Progressives and leftists should ask these questions of Black voters instead of assuming ignorance or complicity.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like βno one watches the opera or balletβ is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like βweβve been here for hundreds of years before you and weβll be here for hundreds of years after youβ lmao
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
New York Dems are reportedly still expected to push for a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map in 2028 to counter GOP gerrymanders. Dems could target 3-4 seats currently held by GOP.
Dems must pass it both in 2026 & 2027, then win voter approval in November 2027
Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague Congresswoman Hanabusa.
She was a fierce advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and a great friend to Gwen and me.

Black folks are not going to vote for your candidate if we perceive even a hint of antiblackness. Period.
Listen, I offer this unsolicited advice gently, an olive branch across the divide, because frankly, I don't want to hear it if these Black elders pick Newsom and we lose *again*, dammit.
Red is right there

Last year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests β a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.
ICE claims its officers use a βminimum amount of force.β You can judge for yourself.

We love when Judge @hodgman.bsky.social gets an episode about sports! Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social especially loves it the most.
