Frum remains the worst of the never Trump neocons. Also why are so many of them named David?

Screenshot of an ESPN Monday Night Football interview, with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes seated left to right. Reid is wearing a light gray suit, light-colored dress shirt, and red tie that makes him look like he's sitting in an unpleasant deposition. Kelce is wearing a relaxed short-sleeved button-up shirt with a whimsical pattern and a brown newsboy cap that makes him look like he's in organized crime. Mahomes is in a pink dress shirt, slightly darker pink tie, and dark-pink-and-white checkered vest that makes him look like a dandy.

Good messaging, still a bad messenger.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 1d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

This is the kind of question you answer with an unequivocal “no” unless you would be blatantly perjuring yourself and know someone else can prove it.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Browns down to 52 QB’s on the roster.

TRADE: The Bengals are acquiring Joe Flacco and a sixth-round pick from the Browns for a fifth-round pick, sources say.

Being a party to the Rome statute doesn’t matter. A Dem POTUS could voluntarily choose to honor ICC warrants, not being a party just means we do not have any obligations to do so.

Also I’ve seen this figure credibly put as high as 90% with GDP growth basically flat if not for AI spending.

egg16z 🥚 @notlikewe.bsky.social · 1d

This is 40% of GDP *growth* but AI capex as a share of nominal GDP has been roughly equal to what housing was in the years leading up to the financial crisis (~4.5%).

Justin Hendrix @justinhendrix.bsky.social · 2d

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

America is now one big bet on AI

It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

Sending a bunch of blue state Guardsman, who have already shown that they really do not like doing this sort of thing, to another blue state is an…interesting choice.

Trump: "Please remember I wrote Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden!' ... I gotta take a little credit."
