RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

Nothing says "authoritarian state" like having to show 5 years of your social media posts just to visit the United States as a tourist.

Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan

The Texas Senate race was completely shaken up today. Crockett and Talarico are both great candidates who deserve our respect. Please support them both. Carrying Texas would be a miracle, especially given the gerrymandering of the House. Let's hope Texas Democrats choose the candidate who can win.

I use the word sparingly, but Sora is evil.
Which means OpenAI and Sam Altman are evil.
And plenty of others as well. AI intends no good for anyone but its progenitors. It is a nuclear bomb in the first milliseconds of detonation.

Second, the suspect must face justice and there must be an investigation to determine if any others are involved.
Third, this criminal act must not be imputed to all Afghan refugees

Dynamic pricing algorithms are neoliberalism at its finest, a poison in the bloodstream of American society.
Companies who use them should be boycotted and shamed, and lawmakers who don't stand up to their corporate overlords should be voted out of office.

Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.
Just catching up; what’s the significance of Jan 5? Does waiting until then affect when the special will be scheduled?
