Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

Same. Frankly, I can’t imagine any situation where using an LLM to generate text would not make writing the book take ten times as long.
In case it doesn't go without saying: I have not used gen AI to create text in any of my books. I have not used Grammarly etc to "clean up" the text. I have not used it to research any of my books, except where it might be built into search engines under the hood (I do not use labelled AI results).

I mean, this will never go anywhere, but if it does, you will immediately see people arranging to obtain a letter of marque, "seize" boats so they don't get (illegally and war-crimedly) drone striked, turn over a fraction of the drugs for destruction,
So the thing about this - the first of many things, but just the first thing that jumps out to me:
"Seize Cartel Assets." On drug boats. That's drugs and automatic weapons.
"Hey, do you want a shit-ton of coke and bulk Chinese AK-47s? That you won't have to declare to anyone? Go get 'em, sport!"

it shouldn’t be in question that any democrat would vote no on a law that says “people donald trump doesn’t like can’t get life-saving healthcare,” but here we are. no one knows where democrats stand on anything right now. the senator needs to stand up and speak up.

every 2025 election proved you don’t need to compromise with bigots on transgender rights to win votes. not in virginia or ohio or kentucky. it’s wrong, it doesn’t work, and it alienates loyal voters. both of these bills are a no.
if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, [he or she] loses my vote going forward. when these anti trans bills come up for a vote it absolutely must be a no from every democrat in the chamber.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreigmuw3qponpk5lflrqbhytzrivbrz4bpehyaxpepqdlrfjsgvdvg4@jpeg)
