If Trump was 100% guilty before any of the Epstein files were released, now he’s closer to 600%, 700%, even 800% guilty.

The best time for a personhood amendment to the constitution was fifty years ago. The second best time is now.
it’s hard to think of a bigger grift than the claim that predictive text aka gAI is ‘conscious’ and thus “deserve rights” like the ability to vote

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

JFC. At least Weiss is getting paid to suck up to billionaire interests. 🙄
The Bari Weiss hysteria continues. Exactly what in "this piece isn't ready" and "try harder to get comment from the administration" constitutes the death of American journalism? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Our advice to those facing economic hardship is to do a thing that is—literally—impossible.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Matty’s fawning obeisance to capital interests is the most on-brand behavior imaginable.
All I said was that Amazon and Google, specifically, are extremely popular so I don't think it makes sense to orient politics around hating those companies (à la Lina Khan).
How about we make rich people pay more taxes, use the revenue to bring down inflation and interest rates?

While it is not styled as such, indeed it precedes it, this is important retort by @joshtpm.bsky.social to this pathetic interference for big tech from Matt.
Ai isn’t popular, what these guys what to do to the world isn’t popular. And they’ve all stuck their necks into politics against democracy.

What's extra dumb here is that a two-day inside-baseball story will now become a "Democrats are hiding something terrible" story. The DNC: Never missing the opportunity to step on its dick.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Sometimes—very rarely, but sometimes—you don’t need to have a philosophical or political debate about something. “I don’t think disabled people should be allowed to get married” isn’t a debatable topic of evaluation. This is an objectively crazy person who should not be a judge.
