"The irreversible gravity of killing, coupled with the lack of a substantive legal justification, is bringing into sharper view a structural weakness of law as a check on the American presidency."

Gold price growth is correlated with uncertainty. That’s because it’s considered to be a safe and stable asset.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

I for one refuse to believe that Shirish's mom would have suggested Budapest

Oh, oh, I know who committed the crime! Ask me, ask me!! 🙋🏻‍♂️

tl;dr Trump:

"I don't know anything about Project 2025 but I did try to get its principal author laid."

Yeah, if you don't believe in the thesis, then full stop.

If you do believe in the thesis, then you must also believe there will be no commoditized free AI so rents can be charged.

But China seems to be already telling us they're going to make AI free.

The brand new GOP position this morning, apparently, is that old white people suck. I kid you not. #NoKings

The investment thesis says AI

1️⃣ Will catalyze step-function adv in automation, decision-making, & enterprise efficiency which,

2️⃣ Will drive $trillions in productivity, so

3️⃣ 1st movers will moat network effects w/ defensible lead in AI services, but!

This all relies on an ability to charge rents!

What if ...

It seems China has:
1️⃣ Plenty of power
2️⃣ Plenty of cheap AI (e.g., DeepSeek, etc)
3️⃣ The ability to easily build zillions of data centers

🤔 What if China makes AI a commodity, free to all?
💭 Building it into everything?

⁉️ Then how would US companies extract fees for AI capacity to justify the spend?

Tonight the president of the United States posted a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a jet that dumps diarrhea all over the United States.

Seriously. He actually did this.

WE did that.

WE out raised a 22-year incumbent Senator.

Lindsey is in real trouble and we are building the campaign to beat him.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Literally: This. Is. How. It. Happens.

Especially pernicious because the effects are largely invisible even as they accumulate. It just seems like the opposition is weak and ineffectual; you never see what people would have said and done if they weren't threatened and intimidated.
