Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

TUR: It appears the president is more desperate in this moment. Do you agree?

LAWLER: Well, let's look back. Obama engaged in a 7-month conflict in Libya--

TUR: We don't need to go back to Obama. Let's stick w/ Trump

LAWLER: Excuse me, excuse me. Yes we do.

TUR: How does that make this war okay?

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.

Make sure to vote YES.

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.

SMITH: You're also trying to dress up the friendly skies, telling people not to wear sweatpants to the airport

DUFFY: Yeah. Look at what Sandra Smith wears and that's what you should wear to the airport


ROBERTS: We also look forward to what the FAA has to say about the near-collision in Nashville

Bellingcat founder @eliothiggins.bsky.social said: "Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren’t philosophy floating in space, they’re the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it’s advocating."

America’s AI Build-Out Hinges on Chinese Electrical Parts The struggle to manufacture transformers, switchgear and batteries domestically has forced the US to rely on imports, delaying data center construction.

Dang, we really should have passed some legislation intended to create a domestic supply chain for these parts & materials! [finger to ear] Dang, we really shouldn't have repealed the legislation we passed intended to create a domestic supply chain for these parts & materials!

Everybody hates Cory Sex workers, bankruptcy, stolen valor, a restraining order, and Trump's “Complete and Total” endorsement for Congress.

Swalwel, Gonzalez, Cherfilus-McCormick are out. Only Cory Mills remains: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

I Know the SPLC’s Flaws Better Than Most. This Investigation Still Looks Like a Witch Hunt. MAGA has wanted to take down the SPLC for years. Now it has the DOJ to try.

MAGA has fantasized about criminalizing the SPLC for a decade—regardless of the org’s many flaws, the MAGA DOJ is corrupt and weaponized.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

There’s no routine screening for pancreatic cancer, most cases aren’t operable, and the five year survival rate after diagnosis is around 13%. It’s a traumatic news.

But new personalized mRNA immunotherapy is showing encouraging results in Phase 1 clinical trials.

Keep funding science!

Trump is too deranged to continue in office Republicans can no longer deny the depth of the president’s cognitive decline and should act for the good of the party

Why am I not reading columns (and editorials) like this in the U.S. press? Even our pundits are cowards. 1/2 www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Exclusive: Meta to start capturing employee mouse movements, keystrokes for AI training data Meta is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees’ computers to capture ​mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its ‌artificial-intelligence models, part of a broad ...

Meta will begin keystroke logging US employees at work -- complete with mouse movements and periodic screenshots -- to train better AI agents.

This comes after Boz posted about a future in which AI will "primarily do the work" at meta.

Best scene of the entire series! Dude just killed his niece, chopped her body up, stuffed her in his trunk. And he's just out for a drive, happy as a clam, and staring up at the sky and singing showtunes. 😂

Sooo, I got to meet Leland Palmer last night. 😮 #RayWise #TwinPeaks #GoodNightAndGoodLuck #Newsreaders #RisingSun

John Roberts Is Always a Republican First In public, the chief justice loves talking about how the Supreme Court’s work is not political. His leaked memos reveal just how political the Supreme Court’s work actually is.

In my view, John Roberts's most impressive PR accomplishment is persuading an entire generation of Supreme Court commentators that he is anything other than a Republican politician who uses legalese to implement policies that Republican voters want

When John Roberts agrees with a Republican policy he will "conclude ... as a matter of law" he has "a solemn obligation to preserve it." If he doesn't like (most likely a Democratic) policy he will "conclude ... as a matter of law" that he needs to "stuff it in the garbage."

He pitches & hits.

He came to Ashland afterwards last night. I got to meet him! Nicest guy you'd ever want to meet, and hilarious too!

The next Dem administration should investigate Musk for securities fraud in his fraudulent purchase of Twitter and/or disgorge him of that platform.

X is a critical component of the regime’s communications and information control system.

Pro-democracy forces should boycott X because it’s not a neutral platform—it’s main purpose is spreading regime propaganda and discrediting pro-democracy actors.

Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh won't say if Trump lost the 2020 election (he did).

This is a damning data point as we try to estimate if Warsh would withstand political pressure from Trump.

"He actually did think he could rule as an autocrat who single-handedly decrees how all events will go." trib.al/2023onS

Grandiosity & Extreme Entitlement are key symptoms of a well-known medical condition...

Trump "actually did think he could rule as an autocrat who single-handedly decrees how all events will go."

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
