David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

You're no different than the pedophile you're congratulating. You've done nothing but side with Republicans since getting elected. Fuck off and resign before you have another stroke

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

If Trump is allowed to murder civilians at sea, he is allowed to murder civilians in your streets. Charges need to be drawn up for his actions in the Caribbean and presented to a US court, military court, and international court. Everyone involved must also face charges.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

If you are shocked by what the Trump regime is publicly stealing or crimes it is committing, imagine the magnitude of the crimes they are actually hiding.

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

We’ve been warning about the propaganda. For more proof of how aggressively the Trump administration is pushing its propaganda machine, just look at the government websites.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Trump’s Argentina bailout sparks fury among farmers, Republicans

The proposal to provide Argentina billions in financial support has drawn scrutiny from farmers and their Congressional allies.
