Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

Chat GPT is a lot like your Uncle Bill. If you ask him something everyone knows about, he’ll probably give you the correct answer. If you ask him something obscure, he’ll just make stuff up.

Also, he’s subtly racist.

Some Republicans are raising concerns about how reducing the federal workforce by hundreds of thousands and canceling spending approved by Congress will affect regions filled with GOP voters. For instance, Ohio has more than 55,000 federal civilian workers.

Even President Reagan knew: Immigration is fundamental to the fabric of our nation.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?
