One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

"Hegseth is a clown." "What the hell is wrong with Nixon. Anyone he doesn't like is a clown." "Hegseth is a drunk." "Nixon is no better than a Democrat." "Hegseth is unprepared." "The Pentagon runs itself." "Hegseth is honey for spies." "Go to hell."

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

How are things going with respect to the discovery before Judge Xinis in Abrego García? Well, the government describes as a “false premise” that it “has been ordered to facilitate Abrego García’s release.” (That’s literally what #SCOTUS held.) pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/84/578815/09...

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

I don’t know much about finance, but I often think about how Jerome Powell spent years making slow, cautious, deliberate moves to rein in inflation without tipping us into a recession in the aftermath of COVID, only for it all to be unraveled by a handful of guys with "ideas."
