Schumer needs to go!
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.
The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

What? An "AI" browser that totally tracks every single thing you do, almost certainly to train its AI model? Unpossible!
ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it.
@eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

Column | ChatGPT just came out with its own web browser. Use it with caution.
OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store “memories” of what you do online.

In a very real and practical sense, the elimination of USAID occurred because a) civil servants who followed the law were pushed out, b) unaccountable amoral people were given power, and c) SCOTUS let it all happen.

Rep. Garcia: Trump is now walking into his own lie. First he says that it doesn't exist. We've proven that wrong. Now the White House is trying to play clean up and say it's not his signature. Again, that's being proven to be a complete lie. So the question to Trump is, what are you hiding?

You just know these fascists refused to wear masks during COVID thinking they were big strong constitution warriors and are now masking up to destroy our constitution with impunity.

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

It’s not about being clever. It’s about realizing we live in an algorithmically driven world. Where information is delivered to everyone individually. No two feeds are alike. You either break through or you don’t.
Sir: I don't pretend to understand your profession, but in mine, which is politics, one of the most important rules to follow is that it's almost always a mistake to be too clever.
