The “AI boom” reminds me of how they came up with Cheetos

Mass produced cheese powder from WWII military stockpiles that would’ve been discarded after the war but they found a use for them… coating corn snacks with cheese adjacent, ultra-processed orange dust

“Find something to do with this junk…”
Every fucking government research grant is going to be about shoving AI into places it shouldn't be.
Attended an EPA webinar about the environmental education grant program this morning and proposals must address *both* the educational and environmental priority areas of AI and...drum roll please...water quality

I am overwhelmed & exhausted by the amount of press we've gotten over this but also determined to continue speaking loudly against Trump's reign of cruelty & retribution. #AbolishICE
Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

The question Dem senators should have been asking all these nominees they voted to confirm is whether they’d invoke the 25th amendment.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.
Invoke the 25th Amendment.

It should illegal for employees of the federal government to knowingly lie to the public, whether they’re under oath or not.
DHS official McLaughlin blatantly lies about Renee Good: "The deceased had been following our law enforcement throughout the day, stalking them. At the time of the incident, our law enforcement was outside their vehicle trying to get their vehicle out of the snow when she started harassing them."

Picture it. It’s 2011…

Federal agents shoot a 37yr old white mom point blank in the face at a Tea Party protest in say Texas…

Then Obama’s FBI refuses to cooperate with local authorities in the investigation…

Un-f*cking-fathomable that this would stand.

This push for the US taking over Greenland isn’t about mineral rights or defense. It’s about controlling arctic sea lanes as they open up. Same way he talks about the Panama Canal.

They know climate change is happening and they want to figure out a hedge before they have to admit the inevitable.

The next democratic nominee for president needs to vow to sign back onto the Rome Statute and push for the senate to ratify the US joining the ICC.

Senate candidates in 2026 need to be asked their stance.
The head of the Senate Armed Services Committee has vowed “vigorous oversight” following a Post report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of all crew members during the first U.S. strike on suspected drug smugglers in the Caribbean.
Senate committee vows ‘vigorous oversight’ in killing of boat strike survivors
The Republican-led committee’s pledge came after The Post reported that the defense secretary ordered that a U.S. strike on an alleged narcotics boat leave no survivors.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

Why does NO ONE in the press corps have the ability to ask a question framed in this way???
The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.
