Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.

Amidst overwhelming Epstein revelations, I've heard from many scientists, especially women, about the deafening silence from so many corners. Many ask "how could things be different?"
In this post, I answer with three metaphors, grounded in the science he tried to own

The real story is that foreign governments try to interfere with elections in the U.S. all the time. In 2020 and 2024, the U.S. had private and public infrastructure in place to catch them, call them out, and mitigate the damage. Now, those mechanisms are gone, intentionally undermined and dismantled by the Trump administration. Instead of securing our elections, it seems that the current administration would prefer to exploit the spectre of βforeign interferenceβ to justify its own *federal interference* in the upcoming midterm election.
Yesterday, Trump tried to justify the attack on Iran with rehashed claims of "election interference" from 2020 and 2024. Here's my 2 cents on what that was all about:

Bureau of Prisons: February 19, 2026 PURPOSE AND SCOPE To establish professional guidelines for the mental health evaluation and treatment of inmates meeting the diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria (GD) to assist their progress toward recovery, while reducing or eliminating the frequency and severity of symptoms and associated negative outcomes.
This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.
OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

I don't think there's any law covering insider trading in the prediction markets, and that's fine---it just means that nobody but insiders should be betting in the prediction markets.
This story by J. Dale Shoemaker is commendable with even more crucial details -- "Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol is dead...." www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...
AIPAC EE @AIPAC X.com β’@RoKhanna isn't seeking facts β he's seeking cover to repeat a modern blood libel. 3 Ro Khanna & @RoKhanna β’ 1d Today, I'm calling on the DNC to release the full 2024 autopsy report. We need to deal with the hard truths about the genocide in Gaza.
Calling the claim of genocide a βblood libelβ dilutes the meaning of one of the most dangerous antisemitic tropes in history.
Weaponizing this term makes it harder to identify when actual blood libel is directed at Jews and weakens the very language we need to protect ourselves.

This poll was commissioned by the Crockett campaign and after claiming that Crockett outperforms Talarico it offers no data to back that up---only data about Crockett beating Paxton
When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!
Will Johnson, a pro-Trump podcaster in Texas, said the comedian's fake ICE tip line is unfair to the nearly 100 people who have tried to use it to snitch on their neighbors.
βHeβs making people who are reporting people taking advantage of the system look like just bad human beings."
Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.
Top marks to Bedford Borough Council on both history and astrophysics. π
How do you feel about having paid about $1,000 in Trump tariffs over the past year?
These aren't people. They are barely creatures.
There is no suffering that would surpass what they deserve.
And this one containing the censored material: youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...
CBS censored The Colbert show in deference to the Trump administration. The only appropriate response is to make sure the censored material is seen by far more people than watch the Colbert show.
This clip where Colbert talks about the censorship.

FINALLY! A federal district court judge who recognizes that preserving the status quo ante during the pendency of civil litigation means restoring things to how they were BEFORE the actions by the U.S. government that caused the plaintiffs to file the lawsuit, NOT to keep the new federal changes.
This won't be a platform. Eventually llms will be so cheap that they'll be boring open source software that runs on your device
Yes, I, too, wish to have my understanding of the world filtered through a techbro's newest ad platform.
Although AI isn't yet being used the right way, I do think that the future of journalism is headed more towards reporting. I expect that ultimately everyone will have a personal AI that gathers up the facts being reported by journalists they trust and presents them in the readers preferred style.

But you can see the tik tok logo and account on the video which shows it is from Tik tok which is much better about sharing. Which is why I am picked that I cannot find it on the account there.
I would like to help this reach people outside the Blue sky bubble
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
