My hot take: AI is just exposing most college assignments for the unnecessary BS they've kind of always been. Almost nobody actually needs to write a 10-20 page paper. Nobody likes doing it OR grading it. Do more in-class blue book essays. Interactive discussions/debates. Test HUMAN skills IRL.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

In case you forgot about all this history - Saudis had a huge stake in Twitter that they rolled over into the Musk-led leveraged buyout. Senate dems at the time called for an investigation into their role in the deal, citing national security concerns. . .

They're cutting food assistance that disproportionately helps their own constituents... who are working but don't make enough money to feed their families... at a time when food shelf visits are at an all-time high. I'm running out of synonyms for cruel.

Broken record, but the way to deal with these crimes of corruption and bribery is not taxes or solely monetary penalties. It’s criminal law. It’s jail. Put Kushner in jail where he can’t spend his $2B. Put Trump and Musk and Vought and Miller in jail for breaking the law. If we won’t do that…

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

Umm do Bessent & @cnn.com not know that this happens every 5 minutes and only became a political poker chip in 2011 when Congressional Republicans made it one as part of their anti-Obama TyrannyOfTheMinority playbook? The language implies that this is new to them.

This cannot be emphasized enough, speaking as someone who directly works to keep food and drugs safe. You simply do not know exactly how much arsenic, for example, is found in natural and organically produced food, unless it is measured, and that requires more than one person with a test kit can do.

96 people, including women who changed their names after marriage, were turned away from voting in New Hampshire under a new state law. One voter had to make 3 trips to cast a ballot. It's voter suppression – and the SAVE Act (in the U.S. Senate) would export this nationwide.
