This is so sad
WSJ reported the entire bleat.
Who knew what? When did they know it? How close were they to Trump's inner circle?
And can anyone within or around the orbit of this regime be trusted to put the interests of the American public above their own pocketbook?
It is maddening that we even need to ask these questions.
It’s the same in the women’s unfortunately!
Where are the front page stories about his declining cognition that we saw about Biden?
Meanwhile in the NYT: “His remarks were the latest in a string of dizzying turnabouts in Mr. Trump’s positions on the war, sometimes issued in nearly the same breath.” Where are the stories about “concerns” about his clearly declining cognition?
A must-read.
🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Cannot recommend taking the time to read this article more strongly. Truly compelling reporting that does the best work I have seen in a long time depicting the jobs that AI is creating: precarious data works. Huge congrats to @joshdzieza.bsky.social.
AI companies are paying screenwriters, lawyers, and other white-collar professionals to produce the training data needed to automate their jobs. I spoke with more than 30 workers about conditions inside this fast-growing and extremely secretive new gig economy.
Stunning, important reporting. Thank you for this.

Incredibly inspiring bravery and must have been difficult to work on for you. Hopefully he will be able to get steady employment and treatment for PTSD.
Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.
Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

Nothing to see here. Just the president of the United States declaring that an ethnic group consistently votes against him, that their votes are illegitimate, and that they should leave the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNQo...
He will use force if he wants to use force. Nothing he says can be taken at face value.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s
Good to get some new combos together.
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Thank you for this sweet tribute, apt metaphors of stitching and gluing.
But Wharf Rat, mawkish?! 😢
Interesting and helpful approach, thank you!
Agree completely.
