I have repeatedly said that AI agents are like the most eager intern you could imagine. Like an intern, they can do lots of stuff. Like an intern, much of it will be wrong, inconsistent, and require work to review and revise.

Whether or not we have a dictator in the White House is up to us, because the power of the people will always be greater than the people in power.

This is extremely funny for two reasons. Firstly, when you talk to a journalist, everything is on the record by default. For a conversation to be off the record, you must request to speak to them off the record, and they must agree. It's a two way agreement. Ahead of time. 1/3

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

YES. 💯 percent this point.
This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

Now that’s cool. Something that was theoretical for decades now has not only direct evidence of their existence but two of them together!

I see from CNN that Canada’s economy is in “crisis”.
A word of unsolicited advice to everyone: don’t believe a single word any US media says about Canada. None. They don’t know shit about us and they don’t care.
It’s in the US’ interest to describe us as being in crisis. Not ours.

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military.
Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:

In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Seems important that the Speaker of the House does not even try to dispute that the president is unwell.
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
