My great-uncle was born in the Russian Empire and wrote God Bless America
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.
This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.

I don't think Olaf, Jake and Joe are getting the credit they deserve for allowing me to hang on for long enough to have Trump surrender to me.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."
Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Hey so what are all the other branches of government doing about the fact the president just tweeted he’s above the law?

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

Google LM Notebooks feels like a crazy magic trick when it takes some notes and slides I have to make a Planet Money style podcast. But also uncanny and unsettling when they start taking positions and opinions, urging me to make some change, in their conclusion... like you're a robot
