I think it's really fascinating how openly Sam Altman and so many other techbros actively campaign on the "we're so unloveable we need a computer to pretend to fuck us" beat as, like, their main selling point of their product. It's big Ben Shapiro "my wife said women don't get wet" energy.

1/6 🧵I grew up in rural America...the kind of place where the morning smell of diesel and soil told you exactly what kind of day it was going to be.
Half the kids in my class had dirt under their nails before breakfast.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

CNN: Are you okay with the president's threat here about pulling more federal funding from NYC if Mamdani is elected?

MIKE LAWLER: This is obviously a moment where New York needs to also work with the federal government. You gotta work with the administration.

Public health should never be politicized.

In the wake of the federal government abandoning science for conspiracy theories, it's up to governors to step up.

Proud to join my colleagues in the Governors Public Health Alliance to keep communities safe and put our people first.

Graphic of the Governors Public Health Alliance that reads Disease doesn’t stop at state borders - and neither should state preparedness.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.

But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.

This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

Crime is down in San Francisco thanks to California Highway Patrol's ongoing efforts with local partners to seize illicit drugs and remove firearms from our streets.

With strong state investments and community partnerships, our work to make our neighborhoods safer and more secure is paying off.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."
