They really are the whiniest bunch. And it’s actually diagnostically relevant, if we want to understand their political project: A movement of people who feel victimized by a society they believe owes them constant adulation and deference, whose self-pity inevitably turns to authoritarian cruelty.

Good to see the NYT still has some columnists objecting to their own paper’s attempt to help Musk launder his image. But: If a somewhat functioning democratic system is to ever again emerge from this mess, reputational damage won’t do. Musk needs to be held accountable in a court of law.

STOP asking AI systems for "opinions" and presenting their outputs as reasoned responses. AI systems don't think or reason. They don't have "opinions." All they're doing is rewriting/recreating answers cobbled together from whatever materials were fed to it.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Spent some time with my friend @jaimeharrison.bsky.social this afternoon. So grateful for his endorsement in this race. He knows better than anyone how important it is that we send Lindsey Graham home. *Also keep a lookout for an announcement from him that explains the microphones.

$300,000 in 24 hours, with an average contribution of $33. That’s a whole lot of people ready to stop the corruption and BS in Washington, and fight for a better South Carolina. I’m beyond grateful. And we’re just getting started.

Imagine if I walked into the hospital room of a child dying from a preventable illness or injury and just shrugged my shoulders and said “well, we are all going to die.” We need better Senators.

Lindsey Graham is willing to take food off our kids’ plates, gut our nation’s Medicaid program, & watch prices spiral out of control just so he can deliver tax cuts to billionaires. Thanks for having me @Velshi. Graham has been in DC for 30 years. It’s time to send him packing.

Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

Trump's tariff threat on Apple knocked its stock down 2.75%, which for a company valued at nearly $3 trillion, amounts to the destruction of $80 billion of value. Or to put this in more human terms, it's an effective tax of nearly $250 per American.
