Right? If large model AI is good for anything, its taking a whole bunch of info, finding a trend, and making a suggested decision. Sounds like CEO work to me.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

So much for “the most transparent presidency ever.” Just more Trump bullshit: secret money, hidden deals, and corruption in plain sight.

I'm sure Alito is fuming about the Virginia vote and itching to strike down the rest of the Voting Rights Act as petty revenge.

But Democrats are likely retaking the House, maybe the Senate, no matter what SCOTUS does now.

Killing the VRA would just be a final insult that speeds court reform.

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.

You just got outplayed

Thomson Reuters “known for its legal database, its media company Reuters, & its role as a major data broker.. One of key products it sells to law enforcement agencies, including ICE, is called CLEAR, which aggregates billions of data points on individuals from public&proprietary records,social media

Fight is on. Good to see some backbone.

Who’s next to leave the Trump admin following Chavez-DeRemer’s departure? In the past month, top officials such as Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer...

Tulsi Gabbard has been told by the White House that she has until the midterms to pack up and leave, according to sources I've spoken to in recent weeks. sherwood.news/power/whos-n...

Worth noting how many organizations like SPLC neutered themselves and the work that they do, trying to avoid this very moment. Especially since Trump won again. But MAGA was always going to come for them. And eventually, we'll all be targets. No matter how much we tried to remain nonpartisan, etc.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

This Lego video for drunk FBI Director Kash Patel is fantastic.

Trump’s Staggering Humiliation in Iran Desperate for an off-ramp, the president is setting up the U.S. to lose another war in the Middle East—even if the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation, but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/vCxDSP2

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on charges that it fraudulently paid informants in extremist groups The head of the civil rights organization said the group was "outraged by the false allegations" leveled against it.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.

The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

RFK Jr talking fash talk.

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.

‘Donnyland’? Ukraine Proposes Naming Part of the Donbas in Trump’s Honor.

A worthy way to mark how Trump has screwed Ukraine. “Ukrainian officials have suggested that the slice of the country’s Donbas region that Russia is still fighting for could be named ‘Donnyland.’”

Nah, Russia doesn't want this discovery phase.

Subpoenas were issued in probe of Russia ‘conspiracy,’ then DOJ clawed them back, sources say The Justice Department sent subpoenas to witnesses, and then withdrew them, in its investigation of former CIA Director John Brennan for his role in the Russia investigation.
