Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

seems like florida redistricting is still very much up in the air. probably because gop is worried they're going to dummymander themselves if the blue wave is as big as it looks like it's going to be.

Sadly, I think these oppressors, would happily shoot more women in the face just like Renee Goode if given the chance. That's one of these chuds primary motivators is their hatred of women.

“Democracy” hasn’t failed, but is being intentionally destroyed by corrupt, anti-truth/post-truth, anti-democratic, anti-American, pseudo-“Christian”, Big Oil/Corporate owned, climate science denying, greedy soulless, Russian allied Republicans, who value their own greed and false ideology over all.

if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.

Big Tech Is Powering Israel's AI War Machine From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.

The Israeli army is using AI systems to mark tens of thousands of Palestinians as potential targets for assassination. But the AI targeting systems have almost no human oversight and seem to be extremely permissive when it comes to casualties, regularly slaughtering entire families.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

How the Iran war set Beijing up for global clean energy dominance China’s cheap low-carbon tech was already pummeling the competition. The Gulf conflict boosts that dominance.

Thanks to #Trump #China will profit immensely by exporting its renewable energy IP to other countries to ween themselves off of #Oil and #Gas. Meanwhile, Trump is cutting resources for this tech to appease oil/gas #Billionaires and companies. www.politico.eu/article/how-...
