Tech Fascists: We shall weaken the nation, destroy the economy, replace the dollar with crypto, replace people with AI, and create new Network State cities everywhere. Normie Journalists: Folks, this is total chaos and incompetence with no structure or plan.

In the physical world, almost all information is transmitted through traveling waves -- why should it be any different in your neural network? Super excited to share recent work with the brilliant @mozesjacobs.bsky.social: "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time" 1/14

This woman was dragged from a Town Hall for booing while others were cheering. By men without badges who refused to identify themselves at the behest of the sheriff and egged on by the liar on stage who invokes Elon Musk! The state is trampling her Free Speech rights! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfnu...

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

In the wake of Trump’s pardons for rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, @lawfare.bsky.social’s Roger Parloff sat down with Alexis Loeb, the former deputy chief of the Justice Department’s Capitol Siege Section. Well worth your time. Watch: youtu.be/G4gStuBcQRk?...
