As an answer to the classic “What would Jesus do?” question, “start robot wars” would be an unconventional response, to put it mildly. And yet, here we are.
A rising group of tech elites is wrapping artificial intelligence in Christian theology—and the Trump administration is listening.
The explosive growth of AI data centers have transformed opaque structures of inequality and power into literal ones.
Oligarchy is now more than an idea, it is a place—and the people who live there are fighting back.
“This has never happened before,” one government employee tells WIRED. “I have never gotten a message like this from anyone.”
BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.
These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.
And they put Trump's ego before America.
Every damn time.
This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win
AOC: President Trump—I want to be clear—not only threatened genocide, he is continuing to threaten genocide against the Iranian people. That is his main point of “leverage” in this situation. It is a war crime. It is abhorrent, and it is also illegal.
THIS kind of "intimate" relationship between Paramount and Trump is the reason why I am testifying this afternoon before a Senate panel against the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., which owns CNN

If you are appalled by this--and you should be--please try to find one thing POLITICAL to brand Republicans as the pro-terrorist party, especially if you're in a swing district or state.
Call your GOP MoC to ask if they agree with Todd Blanche's decision to let terrorists rearm.
Breaking WaPo:
The Pentagon is sending thousands of additional troops into the Middle East in the coming days.
The forces moving into the region include about 6,000 troops aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush and several warships escorting it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
ProPublica reports that OMB Director Russell Vought has become the ideological architect of Trump’s second term, wielding unprecedented behind-the-scenes power to gut federal agencies,

There’s a virus in our tax system.
A stealth virus, it was embedded in America’s economic DNA for a century, biding its time. And then we created those conditions, unleashing it to infect our institutions of culture and democracy, replicate, and burst forth to infect anew.
An oligarchy virus.

Lost in the news the past few days is the Trump administration proposing to weaken rules that limit how coal companies handle toxic waste that can reach groundwater.
The new rule would let states grant exemptions from standards that keep contaminants like mercury & lead away from your water supply.
There it is.
Week ahead schedule for House Oversight Committee no longer includes Tuesday's deposition with Pam Bondi on #EpsteinFiles
That’s why bishops and priests from Vance’s religion denounced it so forcefully. Because it’s no big deal. Almost makes you wonder if the lifelong atheist became a Catholic for political reasons before running in Ohio.
Yeah, he was just joking about being a messiah. As malignant narcissist megalomaniacs do when trying to pander to evangelicals. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
NOT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS.
It’s not just that this is a memorial Trump is building to honor himself. It’s the size & the location.
Twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, and towering over Arlington National Cemetery, where two presidents and thousands who died in service to this country are buried.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
What I want to know is if by “retiring/resigning,” do they still get to keep their healthcare/retirement benefits vs. being denied them if they’re expelled.
America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.
It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps
Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe
But it never goes to help Americans
I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.
So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.
Pete Hegseth has cut ALL educational funds for active-duty service members at Harvard and Princeton (despite him attending these schools) in favor of Christian-affiliated colleges.
I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings.

Headline from CNN overlayed an image of someone pumping gas. Text reads: "US inflation tripled last month on record spike in gas prices"
Biggest increase in inflation in 4 years.
Biggest monthly increase in gas prices in 60 years.
Trump’s war in Iran is costing Americans big here at home.
This is just so corrupt on every conceivable level. There is no excusing it.
These people are The Shittiest Gangsters and we need to throw them in jail for the rest of their lives.
Automatic draft registration: streamlined, efficient.
Automatic voter registration: creeping deep state tyranny.
Wake up, babe. A new FLDS cult documentary just dropped on Netflix.
