At some point, Republicans are going to learn what the Department of Energy does, right? Like... they have to learn at some point that it runs nuclear reactors and doesn't operate oil fields or whatever.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

“Rep. Joe Neguse, the U.S. House Assistant Minority Leader, managed to kill a similar proposal in the House. The Senate version is far more expansive, and he says it should concern anyone who cares about public lands.” We must defeat this proposal! www.cbsnews.com/amp/colorado...

If a colleague had the reliability rate of an LLM, they would be fired. If ordinary* software did, it would be uninstalled. LLMs require the chat format, because chat makes us party to the conversation. We insert the meaning ourselves - and hold it to a different standard. It's the mirror effect.

I started volunteering as an immigration court watcher after reading an article about Brad Lander doing it. So much respect to him and all the folks standing up to bear witness and get in the way.

You really do want to read this excellent piece from @profsaunders.bsky.social. The imperial presidency, created by both parties since WWII, was a grave mistake, bc it depended on good faith/shared norms that simply do not exist now that the GOP has collapsed into far right authoritarianism.

It really says something that Minnesota still showed out like this even with their lives under threat, with a politically motivated killer who reportedly had materials relates to this event in his vehicle. Incredible state and incredible people.

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

It’s difficult to think of a less controversial thing to say than “Stephen Miller is a world-class hater.” “What day is it?” and “What year were you born?” and “Is Stephen Miller a world-class hater?” are the questions you ask to check if someone has a concussion.

I'd like to share a long but fascinating thread about the 1775 invasion by American Revolutionaries into what's now Canada. These are excerpts from a text by an ex-colleague, former Gazette reporter David Johnston, now a volunteer guide at Montreal's Chateau Ramezay museum.

Just remember that Trump and all his consiglieres confidently told us over and over again that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was never coming back to the US, to get us to demobilize, give up on politics, and internalize the idea that everything is futile.
