“predicted”
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

"The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances." 50 USC 1542
News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

I’m starting to see special operations forces the way the Founders saw standing armies: having them & investing so much in them makes it entirely too tempting for a tyrant to use them

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

The actions against Maduro are beyond the pale. Trump has to be impeached, enough.

So much this. This technology is liberating cost from billionaires and liberating opportunity from everyone else.
Skilled workers may ride this wave. We can automate our boring tasks, build useful tools, maintain our position. But the primary effect of AI deployment is transferring wealth upward while presenting that transfer as inevitable progress. This is a bargain that will not create anything good for us.

The slop will remain slop. For a guy whose name means "Truth" in Sanskrit you'd hope he stop making it sound so ironic.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hopes you'll move beyond arguments of "AI slop" in 2026.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.
