omg, I was just thinking the other day that it would be great for Sir Idris to have a franchise and had no idea that H/Jack was actually it. Definitely not getting promoted well enough.
But I can't turn on Apple tv without seeing Brad Pitt's dumb face for like 6 months now.

We need sweeping Project 2029-like reforms to undo the damage we are seeing under Trump II and institute major structural changes, @joshtpm.bsky.social writes. But without reforming our corrupt Supreme Court, those policies will just be deemed unconstitutional.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Trump has weaponized ICE, demonized immigrants, and targeted communities of color.
 
The result? A woman shot and killed in Minneapolis.
 
Here’s how Trump caused this tragedy and what *must* happen next to rein in ICE.

yeah, the fact the he was firing his weapon in a non lethal situation in a residential neighborhood is getting no attention
I know it’s not going stop the lying but the shooter who killed Good wasn’t “saving” anyone by firing at the car, he was just making it more likely more people would be hurt.

This bears repeating today: Trump's Big Ugly Bill tripled ICE's budget and paid for it by kicking millions of Americans off of Medicaid and by taking food aid away from families.

More terror. More raids. More chaos. Less health care. Less food. That's the choice they made.

Doug LaMalfa was an insurrectionist who voted against the certification of legitimate ballots. My Rep should keep that in mind. He didn't believe she had a legitimate right to govern.
Saddened by the news that our colleague Congressman Doug LaMalfa passed away today.
 
I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and constituents.

I'm not one for anniversaries, but it feels fitting to mark the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack, if only to preserve clarity amongst ourselves about what that day represents: the starkest fork in the road that this country had faced since its civil war.

Kelly has continued to promote a similar line in response to each new Hegseth attempt to act on Trump’s long & much discussed interest in punishing elected Dems and anyone who dares criticize him: that he will fight all of the retribution efforts in defense of Americans’ freedom of speech.

Require ALL the LLM vendors to apply for medical device certification with the relevant medical regulatory authorities, ie. the FDA in the USA.

It takes years, requires a mountain of paperwork, PROOF of no risk of harm, and costs fractional-to-integer billions. Penalty of jail time for evaders.
This stupid broken tech is killing people and is going to continue to kill and injure people until we finally have the courage to shut it down and throw it away.

The comments on this video on TikTok are so interesting to me because it is a lot of people saying that we can’t do this because what if Republicans try it to or what if Republicans reverse it. “We have to change the court the traditional way.”
