Trump and Speaker Johnson think that destroying our health care and jacking up the cost of groceries is about hurting Democrats.
It’s not. It’s about hurting and punishing the American people.

I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences

Reminder that in 2021, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill that would have banned partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts.

Also worth noting:
They’re killing the media industry *first*.
Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible.
This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

It is no accident that the early use cases for "genAI" consumer products revolve around the sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation of women in power. It is no accident that the technology is immediately embraced as a tool of patriarchy and gender-based violence.

this is genuinely true. MAGA’s Epstein conspiracism exists in large part because it’s a mystery box. the more specific the allegations get, the more you’ll see them pivot to defending Trump
We’re one more revelation away from MAGA telling us that sexually abusing teenage girls is good, actually.

Our Supreme Court of partisan hacks has finally decided that it's too burdensome to write pages of disingenuous rationalizations for their opinions and increasingly just saying "Because I said so"
BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This ain’t about abortion, it’s about punishing folks who can’t afford private care and women who dare to demand control over their own bodies.
Shutting down clinics means more undiagnosed cancer, more untreated STIs, and more folks left out here with nowhere to turn.

It shows just how shameless Trump and his allies are that they keep lying about a so-called “no tax on Social Security” provision in the bill—something that simply does not exist.
They just lie.

Everything he has done has been aimed at concentrating power in his hands and undermining democratic institutions.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.

Sourcing the dispute to Padilla even when the video proves Padilla is right is an explicit endorsement of the White House's credibility by a news organization
