If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

this is a big reason there’s so much frustration with the Democratic Party - because at this point the Dem coalition is “literally anyone who wants government to solve a problem of any kind” no matter how much you disagree with other people on how, they are your only path to getting anything done

“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

really full force struck by how dystopian America is now, where the government and corporations can ignore the law at will but if a regular person fails to conform at any juncture the powers of the state are basically authorized to kill you and your kids

It’s really hard to take seriously any effort to normalize the parts of AI that might be useful when it’s being used as a cudgel by corrupt fascists to destroy art, science, healthcare, the indigent, and the macroeconomy. How can we accept the “good” parts of a system when we see what it’s used for?

CFPB employees can't own stocks in companies that the agency regulates. A DOGE employee was warned by ethics lawyers that he held nearly $700K in stock in such companies. He then carried out mass firings at the agency – including those ethics lawyers. The corruption couldn’t be any more blatant.

Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

I’m been saying this is all a war of imagination and perception. He’s going after the narrative. You control imagination and you don’t even have to try anymore. That’s what this push to insert AI in creative spaces is about, too. White supremacy and American imperialism is at work. on.ft.com/4jXhppq

Google wouldn’t exist #WithoutNSF. Page and Brin started Google based on NSF-funded research they did at Stanford, which has made Stanford, Google, and lots of other people a lot of money. It’s made the rest of us stupid but that’s another topic.

It looks like Canadians didn't have to Google "Why isn't Trudeau on the ballot?". On the flip side, what might have happened if Biden has stepped down before ending his term? #canada

🚨 The Liberal Party will lead Canada's next government. CBC just called it; too early to know if it'll be a majority or minority government. "A stunning reversal," says the CBC: Conservatives led by huge margins throughout 2024, but Trump's arrival was a big factor in changing everything.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.
