In my newspaper column, I wrote about the crazy late-night screed from Donald Trump. @pbump.com said it needs to be read out loud to understand just how bonkers it is. So we had an AI voice read it. And now think what you'd do if your grandpa did this.

"These are still perilous times. Every day, Donald Trump
does something more outrageous, more destructive, more un-American-and gets away with it. However, I see glimmers of hope in two places: Trump's political problems and personal problems."

"The man who is literally begging to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize has thus launched a war which is clearly illegal under the Constitution. Congress must stop quibbling about the 'double tap' and condemn Trump’s entire illegal war."

There was a fair amount of movement of Hispanic voters to the GOP and Donald Trump in 2024. But will the thug tactics of ICE change that? @larrysabato.bsky.social has a prediction.

Though not officially on the ballot, Donald Trump will have a major impact in 2026. And not in a good way for the GOP. Could it even help flip the Ohio Senate seat back to @SherrodBrownOH.bsky.social? @LarrySabato.bsky.social explains Trump's problem.

I love talking politics with @LarrySabato.bsky.social. I feel pretty good about the House, but is their a chance for the Democrats to recapture the Senate? Maybe.

In 'Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department,' investigative reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis document how Garland failed to bring Trump to justice, apparently lacking the courage to do so."

As if there is not enough to worry about what AI is doing to us personally, it's a looming environmental disaster. Those massive data centers aren't making their own power or producing their own cooling water.

"Hey mom, I'm not using AI to do my homework. I just chat with an AI bot and it's fun." May be. But there's a very dark side, as @ByJacobWard.bsky.social explains.

Unlike Donald Trump, who has trouble with percentages, today's guest, @ByJacobWard.bsky.social, can do the math. And he crunches the numbers on the people openly talking about suicide on Chat GPT every week. It's a lot and dangerous.

Lot's of dangers of AI. Job Losses. Unhealthy (deadly) "relationships" with Chatbots. Voracious power and water needs for the massive data centers, mental laziness. But there are some great uses. I asked @ByJacobWard.bsky.social about that.

AI can do wonders in science and medicine. And it can certainly make doing certain routine tasks quicker and easier. But there may be a severe cost to our humanity. @ByJacobWard.bsky.social with the stakes.

Most of us know something (I knew very little) about AI. Many of us use it. Today on the Pod, a primer on AI with top tech journalist @ByJacobWard.bsky.social . And what AI is doing to us and society as a whole. It's not all good.

I’m still off with my family this weekend so no Roundtable today. Instead, the great historian, Lynne Olson, shares the story of the truly incredible women who showed how the best of humanity can rise to oppose the very worst.

No Roundtable today, but as we resist the Trump Regime, we should remember how the best of humanity can rise to oppose the very worst. Historian Lynne Olson on how a band of French women did just that. To the Nazis of their day.

I'm pretty sure most of you were upset about Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in the "Golden" Oval Office. The man Donald Trump's own CIA determined ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
@joecirin.bsky.social was, too.

When you are drawing up war plans and starting to implement them, it can be hard to stop the march to war. There's historical precedent for this. @joecirin.bsky.social with the history and the flashing red lights today.

What happens in the Caribbean stays in the Caribbean? Not so fast. If Donald Trump can get the military to follow his illegal orders there, his next step could be in US cities. @joecirin.bsky.social makes the connection.

With so much going on with Donald Trump's domestic disasters, it's hard to keep track of Trump's foreign disasters. But today we tackle Ukraine, Venezuela, Gaza and Saudi Arabia.

"You can tell who a man is by his friends. A ruthless dictator, a convicted pedophile & a man accused by the CIA of approving the murder of an American journalist. I'll leave it up to you. You tell me what those three friends tell you about Donald Trump."

"There’s nothing Washington likes more than a scandal. Most quickly fade away. But every once in a while, there’s a scandal that takes root, that just won’t go away. Nixon had Watergate, Clinton had Whitewater and Trump now has Jeffrey Epstein."
Trump gives a lesson in how not to handle a scandal
President Trump has mishandled the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, fanning the flames of a baseless conspiracy theory and making numerous mistakes in his attempts to release the Epstein files.
