I build and test AI for healthcare, and it must absolutely be regulated.

The thing almost all Democrats have never learned two decades into social media is that you don't make attention, you free-ride on it. You take what the attention is on, and make it about your thing. This is virality 101, and the fact they don't get it is mind blowing.

There's a Trump store I pass nearly every day. Today, all the Musk-loving/ "Dogefather" type merch was gone. Not sold. Removed. In case you were wondering which way the cults were blowing.

Trump can threaten SpaceX and Musk. But US government needs SpaceX almost more than SpaceX needs US government. DOD is addicted to SpaceX, as is NASA. Starlink is surging in profits anyway faster than SpaceX launch. Yes, Musk gets massive fed contracts. But DOD needs to get to space. So does NASA

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

If you think saying we worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler is good justification for welcoming Elon into the Democratic Party then you were asleep or not born for the Cold War that lasted from 1945 until 1991 including multiple hot wars. Stop simping for people who are rotten but also hate Trump.

Florida’s own @repmoskowitz.bsky.social joins me to break down the real disaster area: The Trump White House. Spoiler: FEMA might not be able to clean this one up.

why is everyone treating trump being in the epstein files as news. this has been known for years. why did nobody listen until the drug-addled boer said it.

Extremely desperate conservative influencer: aha he just said he was in the Epstein files so democrats would ask to release them, these are the kinds of ruses that the worlds richest man and the President of the United States must do to have any kind of power in this world controlled by woke Smurfs

Trump claims to have established "reciprocal", that is, "mutual" tariffs, but they are entirely unilateral - imposed by the US for no good reason & without negotiations. Journalists! Call them unilateral, because that is what they are & not "reciprocal"!

The New York Times thinks Trump-Musk was “always the most unlikely of alliances.” Because con artists never work with other con artists to hoodwink the public, right? Right? Oh, I guess they do, which shows the NYT is clueless about what’s happened to this country.

This is the most true shit ever. If Epstein files even exist then of course Trump is in them and he won't lose one supporter for it. We know this already. But Elon literally just said with his whole chest to the whole world that he knowingly spent millions to elect a pedophile.

Elon said Trump should be impeached and is in the Epstein files. Trump threatened to revoke all of Elon’s federal grants. There is an emergency meeting going on right now in the Oval Office and Elon hasn’t posted in two hours. That’s what you missed if you have a real job.

If Kamala was President all you'd have to talk about tonight is the NBA Finals, where to take the kids for summer vacation, and what prison food Trump had for dinner

Across the U.S., state security officials and violence prevention advocates have reached the same conclusion: The federal government has retreated from the fight against extremist violence, which for years had been a top priority for the FBI. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

Taco Lago!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.” But the Trump administration ended a program that helped provide fresh, locally produced food for tribal food banks, saying the program no longer aligned with its priorities.

Someone referred to Karoline Leavitt as Taco Belle, and I just couldn’t resist.🤭

Yes.

I'm not being facetious about this: people like Joni Ernst mocking others for being scared and vulnerable about losing their health care and telling them instead to 'meet her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ' are why people like me who left organized Christianity will never go back.

White Christian Nationalist Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa flippantly told a town hall member “we are all going to die sometime “ in response to Medicaid cuts. In her sarcastic apology she doubled down by saying those who want to live forever can do so by embracing Jesus. Vote this heartless skank out

This is excellent and needed: An antidote to the cult of self-improvement and what it actually means to "get better" www.themarginalian.org/2025/03/05/a...

Apparently whoever is doing the vetting for MAGA purity before these nominations are made isn’t ever able to find any of this stuff out. I think this is around a dozen nominees who have lost their positions 2-3 months later. More bumbling incompetence on display to the world.

So erstwhile co-president Elon shows up in the oval for his goodbye ceremony with a shiner and obviously high and the next day his handpicked choice for NASA administrator, official with most immediate impact on businesses, gets kicked to the curb. Thoughts?

my favorite parts of being a writer are procrastinating and self-loathing

Speak Truth....

Great piece by @anthonylfisher.bsky.social - "Rhapsodizing about the glories of free speech out of one side of his mouth while threatening draconian censorship out of the other is a long-standing Trumpian tactic."

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
