This horrifying result is basically the perfect woman under Georgia law: barefoot, pregnant, docile, and can’t vote. apnews.com/article/preg...

Curiously absent from the age discussion despite having a completely cooked brain

In culture: I’ve got a post-graduate certificate in artificial intelligence (AI). I’m also an author, and I believe writers and publishers should not use AI in publishing. But the reasons I oppose using AI are not the usual ones you hear.

lololol!😂 Service at high-profile MAGA supporter Kid Rock's Nashville restaurant came to an abrupt halt on a busy Saturday night after undocumented workers fled en masse to avoid rumored immigration raids favored by Donald Trump. www.rawstory.com/kid-rock-mig...

Adriana Smith was declared brain-dead months ago, and her family would like her taken off of life support. But because she is pregnant, and this is Georgia, her medical team is legally required to maintain life support until the fetus reaches viability. www.11alive.com/article/news...

This is a funny story because of how it establishes that all around the world, even the most nihilistic ultra-rich freaks are realizing this shit is stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary and Trump is like "the big plane has a couch in it, it's the highest premium leather," www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

This tweet from an Afrikaner is not just antisemitic, it is in line with a white nationalist/neo-Nazi theology/ideology called British Israelism that sees white Anglos as the true "chosen people" & considers today's Jews to be imposters who deserve destruction. The screenshot is from a 1992 article.

Tell me again why Trump is deporting people with no criminal histories to El Salvador prison? He just invited drug cartel members into the USA FFS! All deportations should stop: the people imprisoned in El Salvador aren’t criminals; the Sinaloa drug cartel are apnews.com/article/el-c...

The school bully is surprised that no one will go to their birthday party. Canadian travel to US down as much as 75%. Major drop in European travel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tlm...

In 2024, Comer introduced legislation (with Katie Porter) that would have mandated that presidents report any gifts or loans given to them or family members. (The bill died in his committee.) January, the ranking Dem on Oversight called on him to revive that legislation. Comer rejected the idea.

This is a shocking breach of ethics by medical providers participating in this process that will likely result in major changes to our ethical framework regarding the brain dead with likely negative implications for organ donation and research in organ donor care - which is near and dear to me.

My latest on the state propaganda machine being built right in front of our eyes

Adriana Smith had an unfortunate CNS event that left her brain dead. She was 9w pregnant when in happened. By GA law the pregnancy cannot be terminated once a heart beat is detected. She is being maintained on live support until her fetus is viable. Her family has no say. people.com/pregnant-wom...

"The Founders’ warnings about emoluments—and everything else—were tossed onto Trump’s raging first-term bonfire of rules, laws, oaths, and constitutional edicts. Now, less than four months into Trump’s second four years, the heat is already unbearable."

Duffy changed his wife's flight to make sure she avoided Newark Airport. Then went on a podcast yesterday and told everyone it's safe to fly from there. These people are as evil as they are incompetent.

@lwvus.bsky.social CEO Celina Stewart warns that the SAVE Act could disenfranchise approximately 69 million women who change their name after marriage, a figure large enough to sway election results.

BREAKING: The Trump EPA just announced their plan to revoke and delay federal restrictions on PFAS in drinking water. Their new plan would eliminate or delay urgently needed protections for up to 105 million people whose drinking water is contaminated with PFAS.

Russell Vought, acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to more tightly regulate the sale of Americans’ sensitive personal data. www.wired.com/story/cfbp-q...

I successfully pushed the Biden administration to clamp down on how data brokers use your private data. Now it's the latest casualty in the Trump administration's efforts to help companies turn a profit at the expense of consumers.

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Reminder that a 15-member team of Saudi operatives cut up Jamal Khashoggi's body while he was still alive Walked out of the consulate in Istanbul with his body parts in a suitcase More than 20 American business leaders don't care Happy to be flanked by same murderous gold swords w Trump right now

French intelligence has released data on Russia's large-scale espionage and sabotage activities against France. A 16-page report titled "Russian Threats and Actions Against France" refers to cyberattacks, espionage, sabotage and attempts to influence political processes⤵️

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Trump is more committed to Qatar than to states here that need FEMA relief

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

Make it make sense.....🤔

Trump’s family has turned the White House into a cash machine, cutting billion-dollar deals with foreign governments and collecting luxury perks. Time for a reckoning. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-400-mi...

Records show that DOGE aide Chris Young is simultaneously working as a political adviser to Elon Musk while helping to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Seven years into the costly experiment that is Texas Partnerships, the Observer has carried out a wide-ranging investigation into whether these state-backed charter arrangements have actually benefited Lone Star State kids in struggling schools.

So the people at @msnbc.com helped me make a video on planegate

NPR reports there are three Trump officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a "Nazi sympathizer," and a prominent Holocaust denier. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-s1-5387299/trump-white-house-antisemitism

We need to enact a law that says: if someone is elected President, all that person's assets, excluding their home, immediately go into a genuinely blind trust, automatically, without requiring their consent. (Consent comes in the form of deciding to run for President in the first place.)

In the 1980s, American fascists tried to turn Idaho into a white Christian nationalist homeland for “refugees” from American multi-racial democracy and religious pluralism. One such community was called “Aryan Nations.” So this tracks perfectly . www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

Trump's first-term corruption seemed huge, but it's already been dwarfed by the ongoing, unchecked festival of domestic and foreign corruption four months into in his second term. Blame the Supreme Court and the Republican Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-unqu...

Obama turned down a *book* to comply with ethics rules surrounding gifts. Trump is accepting a jet. That’s the difference.

A decades-long effort at Cornell University to build a medical device to save the lives of babies with heart conditions was thrown on the trash heap by the Trump regime. There's a death toll attached to the recklessness of Trump and Musk.

Construction of a new golf course and real estate deal with the government there (valued at $5.5B)...corruption right in front of us. https://apnews.com/article/trump-qatar-deal-conflicts-saudi-arabia-emoluments-7379bee2e307d39bd43b534a05ae3207

ICE convinced a woman she was being arrested and then threatened to take her baby into custody unless a relative showed up to take her. It was all a ruse to get her mother to leave her house. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
