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. 🧵

The CR before the senate surrenders Congress' power to reign in the arbitrary tariffs Trump is slapping on everyone. The economy is in an open nose dive right now and they want to vote to unscrew the controls.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

Trump pardoned insurrectionists (including some with the "terrorism" enhancement in their conviction), pardoned the operator of Silk Road, and imported human traffickers arrested in Romania, but, sure, the real threat is vandalism against the company run by his fraudster buddy.

He is lying. I was on Columbia's campus the day Johnson visited, April 24. The congressional delegation spoke from the steps of the Low Library, hundreds of feet from the pro-divestment encampment. No one could even hear Johnson– only press microphones. He was heckled. That's all.

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

Here's your lede: With bodies still being fished out of the Potomac River, Donald Trump went on a partisan, racist and entirely unsubstantiated rant today, blaming diversity hiring and Democrats for Monday’s calamitous collision between a passenger jet and a military aircraft..

elon musk directed the primary regulator of his primary business -- a federal contractor -- to resign. he holds no office other than 'president's largest donor.' at an oligarch's command, he resigned. one week later, the first aviation crash in the last sixteen years happened.

Another point in the "not politicizing the disaster" discussion is that the President of the United States has immediately taken to social media to start wildly speculating and casting blame, so you know what, go wild.
