There’s been a lot of talk recently about cutting funding and staffing at the IRS. New work from the Budget Lab shows that if the IRS shrinks by 50% we estimate that this would result in 350 billion net forgone revenue over the 10-year budget window. 1/ @budgetlab.bsky.social

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

If everyone agrees to boycott Starlink, it will both cripple the Trump Administration and Elon's Starlink revenues. What good is an ISP that the internet doesn't want? I'll go first. Just block all requests from *.starlinkisp.net. CC: @alexwinter.com

We need more honesty and courage like this to break the spell—urgently. “I’m going to say this at risk of my job,” reporter Steve Liesman said on CNBC. “But what President Trump is doing is insane. It is absolutely insane. It is about the eighth reason we’ve had for the tariffs.”

Seems the new standard for being called a traitor in this Age of American Misrule is to fly more than three dozen combat missions in Iraq for the U.S. Navy, then command the Space Shuttle as a U.S. Astronaut, then serve in the U.S. Senate, and remember that Russia attacked its neighbor, Ukraine.

I can't help but think that, regardless of your position on the breathless claims made for AI, one area LLMs and the existing technology are ideally suited for is to moderate and fact check social media platforms. Odd how there seems little to no interest in talking this up...

Trump celebrating an illegal detention by name tells us a great deal. 1. This wasn’t overreach; it’s the plan. 2. Fact that Khalil is legal resident w/ no evident Hamas sympathies isn’t a glitch; it’s the point. 3. Gaza protesters are means to an end; real target is higher ed.

Silly as it sounds this is a big moment for me. I was the dumbest kid in a private school (not my choice and my grades were awful) and was told by multiple teachers I would be a failure. Now I'm in a magazine for adults

The fundamental weakness of Elon Musk is lack of it.

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

This current Social Security riff by Trump is completely debunked 100% total made-up BS. No president has EVER lied this baldly from the podium. And Vance, Johnson, and the whole GOP just nod and go along with it.

DOGE DOLE ROLE ROTE RATE RAGE You need to know about Curtis Yarvin and his RAGE plot, because DOGE is quite literally a hoax—a fascist plot to end our democracy in disguise. That plot is known among fascists via an acronym: RAGE. www.jamestownsun.com/opinion/lett...

As they grow more and more AI dependent, these people reveal how little they read. See also Bill Ackman, who is constantly demanding “investigations” over stuff that would be solved by reading to the seventh graf. Arrogant, lazy, stupid.

The argument at the end will get the attention, but in the conversation in full Ze says what everyone knows: there is no peace without security guarantees. And the US side is just off in its own world having twitter-inspired US-centric conversations divorced from that reality.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

What a buffoon doling out performative right-wing trash. Zelenskyy is fighting a war against a dictator who bombs civilians and kidnaps children, and this guy thinks the big issue is that he doesn't wear a suit. How can you be so soulless?
