It’s absolutely insane to me that em dashes have generally been a favorite tool of writers since forever, but because tech companies stole the collective works of writers for their shitty AI programs, the presence of an em dash is now considered a red flag that AI was used to write something.

DOJ was broken before Trump got in. It is, in fact, *how* Trump got in: DOJ started investigating him in 1973 but refused to prosecute, instead maintaining a decades-long corrupt collaboration. Beware any podcaster/pundit/pol who told you to trust DOJ over the past decade. That was a propaganda op.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Trump got caught on a hot mic saying he wants to deport U.S. citizens—insinuating to El Salvador’s president he intends to send “homegrown criminals” there.
Let’s be clear: He’s talking about Americans.
This isn’t tough talk. It’s dictator talk. He’d burn the Constitution if it got in his way.
