It's hard to believe that letting him get away with it once only encouraged him to do it again.

Who could have foreseen this? Who?
The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico."

That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II.

Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.

We cannot let history forget what happens when a federal government uses law enforcement to terrorize innocent people.

And let me say to any agent or administration official who thinks we've forgotten or that their cruelty will go unchecked: Illinois remembers.

This is his solo masterpiece, dwarfing all other versions.

Mind you, he is an opera singer, going way way out of his comfortzone, notably voice-wise:

The truth was that if United Health had an AI that was accepting a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate, United Health would stop using the AI in about 0.2 seconds.

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!"

Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

When an unprincipled influencer of the left starts to see a long term decline in revenue, a conversion to the right is inevitable.

California's wealth tax isn’t perfect - but it’s a damn good start.

Californians will be voting on a measure to implement a one time tax on wealth in excess of a billion at 5%. 

@deanbaker13.bsky.social  wants more to be done, but this is one step to that.

It’s weird that as soon as Hegseth’s wife consolidated her control, the new Pentagon policy became “be fit and show us your dicks.”
Those in the military refer to Pete Hegseth's "meddling wife" as Yoko Ono. John Lennon had talent & skill, two things Hegseth does not have. If you have to keep your husband on an "extremely tight leash" at work, he's not qualified to be there.

"...The president also spoke, saying Crowther 'did things that people said were not even imaginable.'" The lazy banality of that struck me so hard. You can try to maintain your dignity, but unless you're ready to admit "President Trump was an embarrassment, as usual," you'll end up looking a fool.

As Trump tries to ban CNN from the White House, it would be a massive mistake to cave on the Paramount merger.

The last thing we need is another Trump-controlled media conglomerate abusing its power to stomp out competition.

This is a dangerous merger.
