Terrific Matt Labash. And do subscribe! "The last ten years have ensured that the old partisan labels neither interest nor threaten me anymore. You essentially accuse me of no longer being a conservative? Fine. The last decade has rendered the term meaningless." open.substack.com/pub/mattlaba...

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT. Astounding words from the judge about ripping U.S. residents off the streets and locking them up without due process. Pls RT. People need to know this. It's not going to stop with just a few scapegoats and everybody knows it.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

In January 2024 I got a one-line email from a woman I didn't know: "Jimmie Duncan an innocent man on death row is looking to get into contact with you." I've been working on the story ever since. Here it is, finally - a @motherjones.com / @bolts.bsky.social feature: boltsmag.org/the-human-co...
