incredible ineptitude: "Unprepared for Iranian drones, U.S. and partners seek Ukraine’s help"... and NOW they want Ukraine to help

only 27% favor this unconstitutional, incoherent and immoral war. 27% is too high but it shows Americans have not lost their minds. Trump has unfortunately.

Here's a nutshell summary of the coming AI job displacement crisis:

The tech industry believes Congress will step in to regulate.

Congress believes tech will self-regulate.

Both of them are wrong. Both of them know they're wrong.

They're hoping it'll simply fix itself. πŸ™ƒ

β€˜You'll have to ask my husband:’ House Republicans say Hillary Clinton punted questions on Epstein The former secretary of State testified for roughly six hours, paving the way for Friday’s scheduled grilling of former President Bill Clinton.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.

Lucky Winner Mike Johnson Gets Dream Trip to State of the Union Send me someone who looks at me the way Mike Johnson looks at Donald Trump while he rambles about fountains of blood.

Lucky Mike Johnson won a special trip to the State of the Union! As House speaker, he gets to decide important thingsβ€”like whether to sit and nod during Trump's speech, or stand and applaud Trump's speech, @petridishes.bsky.social writes:

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

Remember in 2010, when Obama offered some modest criticisms of SCOTUS' Citizens United ruling, and the political world just about lost its mind over the breach in norms related to presidency and the court?

Trump is on responding to his tariffs being struck down. And he already sounds like a loon - AS HE READS FROM HIS NOTES. He literally wrote this shit down!! Railing against SCOTUS and Dems and now yapping about how he won the previous election and the Dow is great.

George W. Bush Can Suck It He didn’t throw shade at Trump; he whitewashed authoritarianism.

β€œThe lesson of the Trump years is that liberalism and democracy are not self-sustaining. That guardrails are dependent on the courage and wisdom of individuals. That we only get liberalism tomorrow if we choose to protect it today.”

American Principles in the Age of MAGA Nihilism Why the Trump administration fears authentic patriotism.

β€œOne of Rubio’s most striking statements was that β€˜armies do not fight for abstractions.’

The war for independence that the Continental Army fought was in defense of and on behalf of certain principles. You might even call them β€˜abstractions.’”

The Framers did not imagine the sort of restraints necessary to contain a manipulative narcissist wielding an enormous propaganda apparatus and determined to break laws and norms. We need more protection than we have currently to prevent another Trump β€” or even a mild imitation of him.
