Has it ever seemed to anyone that sometimes when you ask AI a question, AI sounds like a 7th grader who didn't write his essay and just throws out every, evenly remotely fact that has little or nothing to do with your question?

For advocates of Tibet, the message is clear: the silence in Dharamshala is not peace. It is a breathless wait for the world to speak up

Of course this also means that targeting countries like India, Canada, Mexico and Colombia makes no sense at all because these countries aren't the problem. They typically run trade deficits, which means that they contribute to global demand.

(📣) The 6th book in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series is here. It’s the first one about Musk. $6 gets you not only the full book but a) the 4th book in the Series, b) the 5th book in the Series, c) access to 425 more PROOF reports for a month. Please pass the word on.

Worked myself to death on this.
Proof of Destruction: The Musk Insurrection As It Happened (Book 1, The Musk Trilogy)
Elon Musk’s insurrection is the worst attack on our government since the Civil War. What’s being done by unelected rogue operators in D.C. is an assault on democracy more dangerous than January 6.

Remember when we banned TikTok because China controlling our personal data was a national security threat?

Elon Musk, who regularly meets with our enemies, hijacked the US payment system containing the sensitive personal data of Americans.

Where’s that “ban TikTok” energy now?

As Musk and his minions accrue more and more power OVER OUR LIVES, remember and repeat:
- He was not elected
- He was not subject to the advice and consent of the Senate
- He openly advocates for the AfD, the closest Germany has come to a Nazi party in 80 years
- He is the richest man on earth
Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Congress passed a law with a Republican majority.

The Democratic president signed that law.

The Supreme Court unanimously upheld that law.

Donald Trump reverses all of this by fiat.

We are no longer a constitutional democratic republic.
