To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

CBO releases a “dynamic” score of the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, finding that it would add $2.77 trillion to the debt. That’s worse than the static score of $2.4 trillion in new debt. The reason? Economic growth revenue is outweighed by higher interest payments.

He took over a small antivaccine group he liked in 2015, turned it into his own propaganda & money-laundering org that became the biggest antivaxx source in the world and made him more than $20K/week.

Oh nice a hot take from Mark “kids don’t use bank accounts” Cuban saying we need more ‘viewpoint diversity’ here. Viewpoint diversity is an idiotic idea—it’s basically the inverse of Socratic wisdom. The goal is to high-grade ideas, not collect them all like some sort of intellectual pokemon.

Ah, well, at least federal courts have done everything possible to preserve an avenue of redress for innocent victims of potentially deadly ineptitude on the part of federal officials, so these people will be well-compensated for suffering this terrorist behavior.

Twitter has turned itself into a crowdsourcing platform for helping authoritarians target civilians and yet you’ve still got people posting away because it’s “the public square,” totally indifferent to the fact that the mad emperor is building a giant gallows in the center of it.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the general goal of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process. Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued: newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Demographics obviously play into the employment population ratio, but we're now at a cycle low. We're putting an increasing burden on our working population to support our non-working population.
