This is absolutely insane -- tech goons playing with our government like they're trying out a video game. And the GOP is cool with it.

Just realized I’m going to have to rework my little soapboxy speech on the limits of appropriate use of GAI in my course, to explain to my MPH students why they’re not allowed to pass off AI content as their own when the Secretary of HHS seems perfectly fine doing so

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

If judges don’t trust the marshals, I don’t think we can trust ICE.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

A new analysis finds that projected growth from the GOP budget's tax cuts would only cover 2.7% of their $3.8T cost. That's nowhere close to the cuts "paying for themselves." Notice how nobody ever asks, "but how will we pay for it" when it comes to trickle-down economics?

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.
