I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

Still not as impressive as the time Kim Jong-Il scored a 38-under round with 11 holes-in-one the very first time he ever played golf.

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

This is an embarrassment for Yale. It’s a grime time and things are going to keep getting grimmer if universities jump at shadows from fear of Trumpism. If you teach at Yale I sure hope ChatGPT doesn’t say you kidnapped the Lindbergh baby or something. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes. It’s genuinely shocking that this appears to be what’s going on right here. 1/

This is purporting to punish not only a law firm that took clients and cases Trump didn’t like, but anyone doing business with them. Just undisguised gangsterism.

As AMLO made Mexico more autocratic, he did all kinds of stuff his progressive/left base should have hated (militarization, hobbling the independent election agency, attacking the press) but he also massively expanded government payments to seniors. That program was fairly well run & SUPER popular.

This is absolutely the next frontier for crypto. Once they've tapped every willing fool the only way for number to keep going up is for them to force the rest of us to buy magic beans with our tax dollars.

Many years ago I woke up after knee surgery and there was a VHS cassette of the operation (from the point of view of the arthroscopic camera) sitting on the dresser beside the hospital bed.

For those who sneer at this: It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed. What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs. Because they hire women & POC.

With the SEC and CFPB being gutted or destroyed and fraud basically becoming legal in the US, it's a good time to remember that Vanguard is owned by its funds and has much lower fees. It was already a sensible choice for personal investing but likely to be an even better option now.

At a time when serious allegations of child sexual abuse are stuck for years in the Crown Court backlog, and every part of the system is starved of resources, the prosecution of Sam Kerr - including the instruction of a silk in a case that appeared suitable for a pupil - is hard to understand.

This is dumb. Proposing new legislation appears to concede that what they’re doing isn’t already illegal. And when you lose they’ll point to the failed attempt as proof.

This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts. It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.
