Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

@repchrispappas.bsky.social is 100% correct. Ever since the Citizens United decision, wealthy special interests have been secretly buying our elections. It's time to pass the DISCLOSE Act and close the floodgates of dark money.

Who benefits makes all the difference, though.

When I think about how much training data was used without getting consent from or compensating workers to enrich the ultra-wealthy, the CSAM it produces, & AI-related cognitive atrophy, I understand how God felt when He gazed upon the Tower of Babel

The iPhones journalists used to call up and chat with Trump don’t have the new upgrade that enables follow-up questions.

Everyone’s mad about Proton! Let’s go through the chain of events, as I understand it, that led to disclosure of identifying information associated with a Proton account being disclosed to the FBI.

American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

When a nation loses care & concern for children, a nation becomes irredeemable.

Small men wage endless wars because they are looking to profit, while it costs innocent lives.

We will not tolerate Trump's callous disregard for human life. The war in Iran must come to an end NOW.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Trump on terrorist attacks in America: “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

GOODLANDER: The Post reported you helped craft a plan to send troops to every state as part of a 'domestic civil disturbance quick reaction force.' Is that accurate?

COLBY: I'd have to get back to you

The principal function of Fox News, Newsmax and similar fringe right outlets is to teach Americans to hate their fellow Americans if their political views, skin color, religion, sexual orientation or ethnicity are different. That's having a strong effect.

Axios: “Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader. He said that Mojtaba Khamenei, son of assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei, is the most likely successor — and finds that unacceptable.”

In a phone interview with Israel’s Channel 12, Trump demanded President Herzog to give Netanyahu a pardon “today,” saying he doesn’t want Netanyahu distracted by anything other than the war with Iran.

He called Herzog “a disgrace”, who “promised me 5 times”, adding: “Tell him I’m exposing him.”

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Other things the U.S. government do with $50 billion taxpayer dollars:
—Clear the medical debt of 20 million Americans
—House every homeless veteran 113 times
—Prevent 6.2 million Americans from being kicked off Medicaid
—Buy the entire state of Nevada a late model Toyota Corolla

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

1/3: Here's what wild about gas prices right now. The past two days have seen the largest increase in gas prices ($0.22/gallon) since 2005, making it one of the fastest increases ever. What's suprising about this is not only the magnitude, but the speed of the passthrough.
