The end of his presidency is increasingly a race between Epstein and the Grim Reaper
Donald Trump, basically acknowledging that so far at least he’s losing the fight over Epstein.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Beginning to think Don might just be impeached for raping children. If so, conviction and removal from office would be a real possibility.

Probably for the best it broke. From what I’ve seen of AI generated code and agents, I’d expect my orders to be to assault Cemetery Ridge from South Korea, to use nuclear hand grenades against a drone, and then to frag my officers

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Reading up on the 1920’s Indiana Klan, as one does. At its peak, 30% of white Prot. men were members. But that vanished after a depraved sex scandal: Grand Dragon’s horrific kidnapping, rape, & torture of a teacher. Destroyed career of the very corrupt governor too

Reading the 22nd Amendment, you can feel the old GOP’s determination that there never, ever be another FDR. Would those old “RINOs” be bothered that they’re thwarting a 3rd term for Donny? Not in the slightest. In fact, I think I can hear them laughing
"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.

Why Has Trump Been Flirting With a Third Term?
Trump cannot be president again. But he and his loyal followers have every reason for wanting to make people think he can.

What a monstrosity. The only consolation to be had is that it’s never going to be completed before the end of his term and will be razed to the ground shortly thereafter. If it’s not burnt in celebration of his overthrow, that is

There is so, so much about this story that doesn’t make sense. Why is the Secret Service announcing that they found the cache before they have solid suspects? Why would they tell the subjects that they’ve been discovered before they’ve been caught?

People saying Kimmel should sue, that’d be a reasonable response. Thing is Kimmel’s not a lawyer and T***p’s not that afraid of lawsuits. But he is afraid of comedy.

It’s a symptom of how unbalanced things are that so much effort’s gone into AI that can replace humans and so little into that which aids them
This is an excellent story about how we should think about AI. The distinction between automation and collaboration clarifies the problem space and outlines the limitations and dangers of AI.

Abuse? ✅
Waste? ... Well, in fairness the military does seem to have found the one reasonable use for these things. But it's definitely a waste of public money at least.
