They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

I've said it since its introduction: have AI replace the C suite. It saves the board headaches and it cuts the cost of 40+ (or more) employees at the expense of 1 person losing their job.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

It remains not only so shameful and such a profound betrayal but also just so EMBARRASSING that universities are signing things that are like:
"Men" and "Women" are defined the way President Buttface said in his Big Fancy Statement.

Few nursing homes can care for people who need help breathing with a ventilator because of ALS and other conditions. Insurers often deny payment for the best at-home machines, and innovative solutions are endangered by Medicaid cuts. n.pr/3M3fPqx
They need a ventilator to stay alive. Getting one can be a nightmare

trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Raising Cane's has to be a front or a cult. Why is the chicken joint with flavorless Sysco chicken and "special sauce" (mayo + ketchup) this revered? Why is there a line out into traffic for it?
There's more flavor in literally any other fast food joints chicken.

Miller is just explicitly stating what was apparent in the Muslim ban.
Furthermore, it's just the endpoint of the Clash of Civilizations thesis. Huntington (iirc) stated that there would either be assimilation, band-wagoning (assimilation that's tenuous), or outright conflict.

A veteran moving to the Pacific Northwest, then driving to DC to stage a mass shooting of government agents? Sounds like he assimilated into American culture pretty successfully.

I think both their absolutely unhinged cruelty and their frustration at not hitting their numbers have the same root: that in their terminally racist brains the word “immigrant” conjures something extremely specific that they’re having trouble finding in reality
