WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term

GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

My AI skepticism comes, in no small measure, from the fact that AI has destroyed the typical result of a simple Google search. This should be the easy stuff, what AI should do well, but I expect development is polluted with marketing imperatives, much as Grok was by Musk's narcissistic sociopathy.

The Republican Party's mission on behalf of the donor class is and always has been deregulation, that's where the money is and where the will of our Masters are thwarted.

Dem strategist Simon Bazelon has advice for Democrats to win elections in red country: pander more to the racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic cultural values of people who have been brainwashed by MSM into thinking Democrats are "too liberal," which will only lead to great things. shorturl.at/vCjer

Clever? Based on the fact that humans are always in the process of annihilating their environment and themselves, isn't it time we got over the idea that self-awareness makes an animal more intelligent?

Nearly three million more voters chose Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in 2016, but she suffered from insanely corrupt media and electoral systems. Some zombies never die and it's indicative of the corruption that some still lead the political conversation.

The possibilities for major catastrophe, either man or nature-made, are endless and growing. The destruction of government's ability to use science and capabilities for predicting and responding to events has always said they are planning for and deliberately creating the circumstances for disaster.

Literally true. But general truths obscure the fact that the present fascist govt is comprised of one traitorous political party backed by a cavalcade of the rich and super-rich buying favorable policy outcomes, and otherwise supported by only a third of American voters. The world is waiting to see.
The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.

Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU.

There is no greater sign of the broken nature of our political culture and conversation than the fact that more than 8 years after Donald J Trump was credibly diagnosed by dozens of psychiatric professionals, no one dare identify him as a psychopath to explain his aberrant behavior to this day.

Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data.

Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.

The cruelty is endless.

So close to getting it.

The unspoken mission of the corporate press is to protect the Republican Party from the consequences of its own bad faith and failure (since 1980), the unreal coverage of the party's Trump-era implosion finally made it too glaring to miss.

Jeffries looks like a clown confused about hand gestures but, in terms of political rhetoric, all Dem leaders fall short. Certainly Jeffries knows Republicans are building a fascist police state in service to rapacious oligarchy and Democrats would own the news cycle if they said so, why don't they?
he's gotta go
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."
