I won't be attending the State of the Union address.
I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

What if AI agents were structured like a high-performing engineering team instead of one “super agent”?

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

I don't know where this ends, but a run on a thing with no fundamental value has no natural floor > zero. It's not currency, it's not a store of value, it's just a speculative thing that survives only as long as someone wants it. Eventually, it's a beanie baby. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/t...

If anyone thinks what's in the Epstein files is just what rich, privileged people do: no. This isn't what most rich people do. You need to be a special kind of fucked up to even think about this stuff.

This is an incredible read...start at page 31 for the craziest parts.
The transcript of the MN hearing where an AUSA said “This job sucks” is remarkable for more reasons than that. It’s a searing portrait of a crisis perpetrated by depraved & oblivious high-level officials. Read it all. ...

Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero!
Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough.
And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.
