Anti-Mamdani columnists always sound like they think people are being fooled by him? "Oh his lower prices sound good but wait till you hear about taxes!" Don't worry people know.

Sahil KapurJohn Cornyn & Thom Tillis issue a joint statement announcing they will support Todd Blanche for AG. He's now in good position to clear the Judiciary Committee tomorrow and head to the full Senate.
Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.
It turns out establishment Democrats believed in purity tests all along.

“I mean, come on, abusers are always held accountable and the people they abuse never try to placate them to avoid further abuse. Think about it.”
The BulwarkRep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."
This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.

But everything that Silicon Valley fascists are doing came first from science fiction. We cannot cede dreaming and speculative fiction to the fascists. Call it speculative realism if you want, but there’s political value in going out on a limb to come up with detailed plans.

This guy would win in a landslide if he ran for office. I promise you there are SO MANY voters waiting for the "Were going through every file and we will find all of you" candidate to take on the New Gestapo. Establishment Dems will never hold anyone accountable. They had their chance and blew it

“Right now, we’re rushing ahead with AI without doing the basics of computer and corporate security. The AI companies are pleading for others to make them act responsibly. And here we have a pressing example of how they’re acting irresponsibly in the meantime.”
Garrett M. GraffThe OpenAI/Hugging Face incident is worthy of your time—it's an important warning sign about the weird moment we're in with AI, with a side order of US-China rivalry. Most of all, though, it's a reminder that AI is a story about humans, not technology. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...
