Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

You can totally point out that some aspects of AI are overhyped, you can believe that AGI is not possible, you can criticize how the companies and governments developing AI are using or being coopted by these tools. There is a lot to criticize.
But "it doesn't work and is fake" is just wrong now.

Just bizarre to me that there is such a large market for "AI will go away on its own" at this stage. And that so few people who serve that market seem to have updated their beliefs at all in the past year, even as key tasks like coding have already started to change beyond recognition.

Remember, the full Epstein Files are well over 6 million pages long.
What you have seen so far is the *least offensive* 3 million pages.
Trump and his lawyers are hiding the other 3 million pages—and have made clear that they will never ever release them, federal law be damned.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

I feel like part of my shtick on BlueSky is to point out that yes, AI is real and it is especially important for critics to realize it is real, since we need more good criticism of AI, rather than dismissals that it is hype

Defund and abolish @schumer.senate.gov's power.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

You’re gonna see some Dems & some Thinkpiece Centrists giving Trump credit for “turning the temperature down,” “pivoting to a more restrained approach” “let’s get back to focusing on kitchen table issues” and it is your duty to scream at them until they stop.

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.
When I say this agency [ICE and CBP] CAN’T be reformed this is why.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.

I went to elementary school with Dave. His latest monologue #9 is amazing.
Dave Columbo is amazing
I feel like Republican politicians should be forced to watch every one of Columbo's Trump-speech performances—Clockwork Orange-style—and then take a lie detector test about whether they think their party leader is mentally deranged and dangerous
