The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

I can't scream loudly enough that the people leading HHS right now are liars. RFK Jr. Marty Makary. Vinay Prasad. They are liars. And the lies they are telling are the lies eugenicists like themselves tell.
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
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.

If we're not prepared to say the president is illegitimate and all his pardons are null and void then any talk of consequences for his sycophants and mass murderers is only performative

Reminder that Chris Murphy backed a bill that would have forced asylum-seekers to return to their country of origin unless they met murky conditions of fearing persecution. The man who introduced the “Turn Away The SS Saint Louis” bill wants to lecture you on how Trump’s hurting the wrong people.
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Same as it ever was. A big reason DA offices are institutionally terrible is that it’s nearly impossible to prosecute a powerful figure or company without the case being sabotaged. Traditional prosecutors and their colleagues in robes don’t want you to do anything but put poor people in prison.
BREAKING: The case against Donald Trump in Georgia is officially dead.
The prosecutor who took it over recently has moved to drop it – and Judge McAfee has granted the motion.

The major goal of the Democratic Majority after the midterms should be the dismantling of ICE, the prosecution and imprisonment of its operatives, and the passage of legislation forever banning the president from creating a personal army for any reason.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.
