He is threatening any company that does not voluntarily surrender what he illegally took.

5:30pm presser + 2 of the dumbest people alive + the most dishonest administration in American history = shitshow

Republicans are beneath contempt.

Sweet! Always nice when good things happen for good people.

Today in “Personal Finance” news...

This AI Tool Rips Off Open Source Software Without Violating Copyright Malus, which is a piece of satire but also fully functional, performs a "clean room" clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell software without crediting the original developers.

"Clean room" your way out of copyright issues at scale with AI. One agent analyzes the thing you want to duplicate and produces a spec, and another “clean room” agent writes and builds to the spec.

Ta-daa! You now have a clone unencumbered by the original’s copyright protections.

It’s bizarre.

There are absolutely niches for high-value tech business journalism, but this just seems like what any sell-side research desk could churn out.

“Behind in potential new categories [of tech products],” is a hell of a thing for an alleged high-value tipsheet/newsletter to publish.

IMO “The Information” might be the most inaptly named news site on the web, as I couldn’t find any actual information in this content-free assmblage of words.

loooooooooooooooool

There has never been a man so absolutely ashamed of his tiny penis as Pete Hegseth.

"American women are obsessed with the industrial revolution" is so fucking funny to me

Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.): If Erica Schwartz is confirmed as CDC director, "will you commit on the record today to implement whatever vaccine guidance she issues, without interference."

RFK: "I’m not going to make that kind of commitment."

"Because you probably won't. You’ll probably fire her."

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Neomi Rao Understands What It Means to Be a Trump Judge For conservative judges with Supreme Court aspirations, nothing is more important than reminding the president what you are willing to do for him.

one of many maddeningly unserious aspects of the DC Circuit's latest order blocking a criminal contempt investigation of Trump:

she legit claims the order only talks about "removal" and says nothing about "transferring custody," so locking them up abroad is fine

CHRIS WRIGHT: What happens when the wind blows right now? We turn down natural gas plants and we save 2 cents in reduced natural gas price. We pay a 4 cent subsidy and save 2 cents

WYDEN: What you are describing is fiction

Voting rights groups sue DOJ to block national voter surveil-and-purge database  - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Voting rights groups sued to block the DOJ from creating a national voter database to surveil and purge voters.

BREAKING: We sued the Trump administration, on behalf of
@commoncause.org and four individuals, to block the DOJ from illegally stockpiling millions of Americans’ confidential voter data and creating a national database to surveil and purge voters.

Having integrity matters, and it should be condemned as shameful when someone willing sets it aside for career gain.

I'm so tired of this "false sense of victimization" these weak men feel.

"Oh no, women don't worship. Women don't want me. Women are too independent. Women should be sex toys. Women shouldn't have rights."

Like fuck that. Only weak men are screaming victimization.

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Got ‘em, Pierre.

Good one. 🙄

Folks would never guess the director, either.

Pathetic.

ah yes, personal freedom, that thing that is always present IN THE MILITARY

I know it’s a complex democratic civ-mil can of worms any other way, but it’s still maddening.

We’ve never had a president who respected our military less, and they’ve rewarded him with slavish obedience.

The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.

Fascinated as to Mahmood's theory of 'how minority politicians succeed in democracies'.
