I hate that my primary use for Copilot 365 is because “show me all emails from [email protected]” is too complex for Outlook’s built-in search.
"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.
‘His life is in danger,’ U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility.

Another reminder. Anne Frank and her sister Margot didn't die in gas chambers. They died of Typhus due to overcrowding at Bergen-Belsen women's camp, which also experienced outbreaks of tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
A reminder this happened earlier this week at Trump’s massive concentration camp in El Paso:
“The cases of tuberculosis and COVID-19, two diseases that spread through the air, have underscored concern about the conditions at Camp East Montana and other immigration detention centers.“

In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

People don’t imagine how terrible it would be if there was an *actual* Fairness Doctrine right now. Imagine Jimmy Kimmel inviting a democratic candidate on his show. And then being required to have an equivalent right wing candidate to keep it even. It would be a disaster.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This man has a decades-long record of lying for profit and personal gain. Any politician who said he'd keep his word was just doing the same thing themselves.
In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p
RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them

I know this sounds simplistic, but it is a very good thing that the Trump administration is now squarely on the defensive - about ICE, but also about most things - and it’s great that Dems are sustaining the pressure. Credit where it’s due.
SLOTKIN: So the fact we have ICE agents saying out loud to people they're trying to arrest that 'we're gonna put you in a database,' they are making that up?

There is no recovery for DHS. The entire department needs to be dismantled, and its essential functions transferred to other departments.
So the FAA abruptly halted all air traffic at an airport,serving a metro area of ~1 million people. They’re blaming it on a “cartel drone,” but reports suggest that…
-The drone may have been a party balloon,
-It may have been CBP, not the military, that fired at the drone/balloon.
Is that right?

Easy, money. You do it with money. Schools that get funds for free meals have to work with something like $1.25 per meal which includes the cost of equipment. If you want better meals at schools, give the schools enough money to hire the staff and buy the ingredients and equipment.
Rollins: "School lunches are next. A lot of schools don't even have an oven anymore. When I was growing up, lunch ladies were back there cooking meals on stoves. So how do we completely and fundamentally change the system to go back to where we're serving healthy whole foods to these kiddos?"

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
