Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

Buried in the Republicans’ “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a provision that shields Trump and his Admin from being held in contempt of court. So it doesn’t just cut taxes for billionaires — it also undermines the courts and emboldens an already lawless presidency. We must stop it.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Is now a good moment to point out how ... incoherent ... it is to have a single "specialized" federal appeals court (the Federal Circuit) that is simultaneously responsible for hearing appeals in more than a dozen very different types of cases? www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

"Separating the art from the artist" is for people like Picasso, who was a total bastard a very long time ago but also an artistic genius whose work is actually important to human culture It is not for a mid tier kids' author that is actively trying to eliminate a whole group of people right now

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

There is zero ZEROOO doubt in my mind that AI cults are going to be huge. I don't mean, like, "I LOVE AI SAM ALTMAN IS SENPAI" I mean like, "I have used AI to tap into the deep secrets of the ancient, forgotten texts that tell the future and it tells me that /you/ have been /chosen/...to follow me."

Mercy once calculated that I would need to drive two million miles to emit as much carbon as is emitted by an hour in an F-35 and I think about that every day now. Ending imperialism is literally how we save the planet. The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.
