The Atlantic released the following statement in response to Kash Patel's lawsuit over their article about his drunken behavior:
"We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit."
The single worst argument for AI adoption is that it exists so we have to use it. You know you can say no right? Just because something is on the table it doesn’t mean you *must* integrate it into your life.
Trump suing the IRS, that he controls, for $10 Billion should be at the top of the news cycle.
kash patel and pete hegseth are DUI hires.
You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.
China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe.
With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.

Books than librarians.
Curriculum than teachers.
Medicine than doctors.
Climate change than scientists.
Human rights than the ICC and UN.

We should be learning from other countries...
Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.
I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.
President Donald Trump has crossed from grandiosity into full-blown psychosis, a psychologist has warned.
If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.
Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China & $0 in federal income taxes to the US. At least 88 highly profitable corporations paid $0 federal income tax last year while bringing in $ billions. Disney, CVS, Palantir, Taco Bell & others are making massive profits, paying executives enormous ⬇️
We Deserve Better Than This….
Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. California friends: I’m voting for Xavier Becerra. He is a seasoned leader who served as Joe Biden's Secretary of Health and Human Services and California Attorney General before that. He is one of us. Do not fuck this up.

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr
Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States
“Hollywood, believe it or not, is a blue-collar town...“It’s thousands and thousands of Grips and Gaffers. Drivers and Decorators. Builders and Boom operators. Camera teams and Caterers... And they’re all about to get f*cked”
Damon Lindelof Reveals Reason He Signed Anti-Paramount-WBD Merger Missive
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.
"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"
Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”
Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.
We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.
You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.
Donald Trump's Iran struggle has exposed a fundamental truth: the world no longer fears American threats, and traditional allies are abandoning Washington to form new partnerships.
So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
Should be part of his next test.
Food for thought:
In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote.
just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote.
just 154M of them actually voted.
US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies.
This is how democracy dies.
Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long
