Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

See, most of the time when people say something is Orwellian, they are full of it. This, on the other hand, is actually Orwellian.

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

What does ICE have to hide? The Department of Homeland Security has issued a new policy that allows ICE officials to block or cancel visits by members of Congress to immigration detention facilities, whenever they “deem it appropriate” or cite vague “operational concerns.”

You’d think showing up at The White House would buy @dodgers.com some grace from The Lame Duck. But capitulating never works. So it’s time to fight.

“Nobody is talking to Hegseth.” So, as we teeter on the edge of war with Iran, we learn that the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the commander of U.S. Central Command, are brushing aside …. our Secretary of Defense. Free link wapo.st/4n6OyBh

I’m having the same sick feeling I had when Bush/Cheney were making the case for invading Iraq despite intel that contradicted their case.

A key reason the GOP Congress abdicated it's Article I powers to Trump is it allows them to evade accountability for decisions they don't want to make/be seen making MCs agonize over how one vote might tank their re-election. Trump is unaccountable--he can't run again and SCOTUS declared him king

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
