I couldn't agree more with @ayman.msnbc.com.

"Democrats face a choice. They can be the party that manages health care debates while democracy collapses. Or they can be the party that stood up and used this historic shutdown as an opportunity to save the republic."

Opinion | Democrats' shutdown wager might be paying off — but can they stick the landing?

Now that Democrats have gained some traction during the governmental shutdown, they must bring into sharp focus the true challenge of this moment.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

"Meanwhile, Bari Weiss of the Free Press is leading CBS News as its Editor-in-Chief. Make no mistake, whatever you think of Weiss, this is a calculated move to drag the once solidly center organization to the right."

Democracy Docket: The space for media independent of Donald Trump’s influence is quickly shrinking.... While Trump is tapping his son Barron for a leading role at TikTok, the Washington Post is laying off staffers on Yom Kippur and hiring MAGA-friendly columnists.

Finally, Pritzker says more Dems must sound the alarm, though he notes some exceptions (like Chris Murphy).

"I am surprised that more leaders have not stood up," he says.

He urges people to join No Kings protests to let the country know something's wrong. 5/5

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.
