The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

Good thing the Trump administration hasn't filled the ranks of military lawyers with sycophants. Otherwise, military leadership would probably struggle to know what is and isn't a legal order.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?
$2733.15 a month.

The thing about this article... When it actually happens, a significant majority of the US population will still be surprised.
Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos. His success could have dire consequences for American democracy, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

except it’s not a preschooler, it’s a grown man, and that man is also the president, and it is deeply surreal and unsettling to freefall into the gulf between words that should come out of a president’s mouth and that word coming out of a president’s mouth

Excellent article! And excellent advice to regulate generative AI the same way we would any addictive drug with real risks of psychological harm.

No, it's an LLM wrapper around Perplexity and it's not fact-checking anything, it's just extruding statistically-likely text responses that bullshit words that accidentally portray factual reality instead of nonsense.
