If the Democrats take the House, they can zero out the budget for anything they feel like unilaterally. Congress is the most powerful and important branch under our constitution even if no one in it wants to do their job.
There's a lot of recriminations flying around about past Trump impeachments and I would just like humbly to suggest we consider ways to force the removal from power of Stephen Miller. Could we impeach him? Defund his position? Bar him any access to legal authority? What tools can we conjure up here?
It’s astounding how much damage Miller has done — morally, economically, safety-wise — because he can’t stand brown people. We are so much worse off bc of him. And yes, there’s much blame to go around - Trump, Vance, Noem, etc. - but Miller is the heart of it (ironic since he seems to lack one).

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.
