Rewrote a clunky section of a lecture three times this morning before finally realizing the entire section itself just needed to go. Editing is all about making those decisions, and why anyone would ever trust AI to take control at that important moment in the process is utterly baffling to me.

The Whitehouse repackaged already public information about the Epstein case and redacted it before sending it out. It was already circulating unredacted for years in official US court documents. Once again... say it with us... MAGA got played.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

💯 Exhibit A: When Obama refused to do an interview with Fox News, CNN, CBS, NBC, NYT banded together like they were in a WWII movie and threatened a boycott (bc they knew they wouldn’t lose access). When Trump banned AP they sent a meek letter on the DL cuz they knew they’d lose access. Cowards

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Sit down with your family & friends, have a serious conversation about the state of the United States right now; what Trump's actions mean for your future. Let them know this isn't about politics but ultimately the survival of you as a country, nation, and people. This is a war. #3E

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

Denise Chung—a 24-year DOJ veteran—just resigned rather than, what in her view, fabricate probable cause at the Deputy AG’s direction. This isn’t just a canary in the coal mine. It’s the coal mine coming. The Constitution demands probable cause. She refused to cross that line.

RED STATES: Remember this when you’re on your own… Trump said: “If it was up to me … I’d end (FEMA) right now.” He wants your state to handle disasters alone—no federal help.

⚡️'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
