A.I. teachers are officially being tested in U.K. schools. Would you ever trust A.I. to teach you or your kid? (I have a 35 minute set on this coming out tonight at 9pm eastern, link is below)

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

real “this car keeps running out of gas, let’s just remove the gas tank” energy here

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

Some advice to the doom and gloom crowd who wanna speedrun straight to armed rebellion/dystopic hoarding - if I can’t trust you to show up to city council meetings and give public comment, what the fuck makes you think I’m going to trust you with a weapon at my back?

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

Per Jose Olivares on X, here is a likely quid for the CECOT pro quo. Trump is dropping criminal charges against multiple serious MS-13 leaders we are currently trying to prosecute. Many of them are “inconvenient” to Bukele, as they previously admitted to working with him before the truce broke.

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

‘Get out sooner rather than later’: Yale professors flee U.S. over fascism concerns: Yale professors Marci Shore, Timothy Snyder and Jason Stanley have made their careers studying authoritarianism across the globe.

i need yall to stop thinking that shitty people who do shitty things must be doing them because they’re being blackmailed. almost always, they do the shitty things simply because they’re shitty people.

THE BILL ADDS TRILLIONS TO THE DEFICIT AFTER THE MEDICAID CUTS

Or "reverse replacement theory." Because that's what it is, when combined with the mass deportations and attempt to end birthright citizenship.

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

he's out

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

and by “parents” they mean “women.” getting us out of the workplace was always one of the key motivations behind the attack on DEI.

Here is the criminal complaint affidavit against Harvard researcher Kseniia Petrova. It was sworn out almost 3 months after the incident, and long after her immigration detention had become an embarrassment to the Administration storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Immigrant and human rights groups suing the Trump admin want to add the Pentagon as a defendant to the lawsuit, saying the DoD now has "direct participation" in detention and removal. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Smartmatic, the voting tech firm suing Fox News for defamation over its 2020 election coverage, claims that Rupert Murdoch and other senior execs intentionally destroyed damning evidence in the case. CNN's Marshall Cohen has the story here >>> www.cnn.com/2025/05/14/m...

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Keep showing up (I will too)!!

NEWS: Earlier today, the three-judge district court in Alabama again ruled that Alabama's congressional map — with its refusal to add a second majority-Black district — violates the Voting Rights Act and the Fourteenth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Did you know that Nick Quested’s truly ACCURATE documentary on Jan. 6 and the Proud Boys was nominated for an Emmy?! As it should be. It is, in my opinion, the best film on the subject. Hands down. deadline.com/2025/05/news...

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

now explain it with food and medicine

…y'all need to rehire all those DEI's because it seems like they were the ones who understood how aircraft carrier tie-downs work

I will continue to challenge any presidential administration, especially to assist lawful whistleblowers. The revocation of my security clearance had nothing to do with protecting the national security interests of the US but was purely to prevent me from holding this Administration accountable.

*No paywall*The story starts with teachers pleading for empathy for 3 immigrant students. It ends with a border patrol agent pleading for empathy for 3 other students at the school — his own. Might be a theme here. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Trump's lawyers "appear to be obeying Stephen Miller and not the Supreme Court,” says Chris Newman, an attorney for the Abrego Garcia family. “Miller himself should be deposed under oath in federal court to determine his role in this ongoing affront to due process.”

This is just an amazing thing, and by quirk of fate not lost to the world. (And it’s a really good essay)

Abrego Garcia atty: “[Trump] has now said [twice] he could easily bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the US, but he’s been told not to ... We’re going to ... find out exactly which govt officials gave him that instruction.” per @gregsargent.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1948...

worth keeping in mind as we discuss Trump's tanking numbers that most people haven't even really felt the pain of tariffs yet. Walmart shoppers are likely in for a rude awakening soon.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

the weirdos who insisted children were being abused in the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement sure are quiet in the face of actual trafficking

Before they exiled the kids, they used them as hostages. I hate this so much. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I miss the DEI planes, which held themselves together

TFW @stevevladeck.bsky.social says something you suggested should happen AND DID is a very "clever and important" move. This ACLU team is first rate.

Data centers are a big threat to everyone's energy bills. Protection from them appears to be at risk in negotiations this weekend on SC's H.3309 energy bill. The Virginia Mercury assesses the dangers to ratepayers (link in comments). South Carolina must NOT leave our ratepayers vulnerable.
