For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined.
~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending.
We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

This paper was a blast to work on. The challenge: present party positions across many issues, in real time, using language voters actually use. 🧵 on why we went with a more involved retrieval-based approach and where I think these tools are headed.

I know I just got to Michigan, and I should not rock the boat. But can we start a campaign to get a custom mascot like Brutus, Hook’em, or Hairy Dawg? Not only is Michigan missing out on the revenue, but it is also a cool part of the game. Plus, it would stop Brutus from his shenanigans.

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.
I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?
