Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

PabloReports: Donald Trump is complaining about the results in Virginia. He seems to be very distressed.

AOC: I’m sooo sorry for his heartbreak at this moment, and I look forward to adding ten more Democratic colleagues in November.

They are the lungs of the earth and must be protected.

Not only are trees essential for life, but as the longest living species on earth, they give us a link between the past, present and future.
Walk among them.Treasure them. Protect them as they nourish us.

BRUTAL NEW POLL

Donald Trump is cratering. His approval with Republicans hits an unprecedented low.

Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!

There are 33,000 homeless military Veterans in the United States.

Uh "no, actually" yourself.

I'm in Ohio, where extreme gerrymandering was pioneered the moment the GOP gained a slim upper hand 25 years ago. They now have an entrenched supermajority here & are free to do whatever they want.

There IS no "level playing field." That's not how you defeat fascists.

Not particularly surprised, to be honest. This was always a huge long shot of a law; states generally have little to no authority to regulate federal behavior.

Un-f'ing-believable.

Thank you, Virginia voters! You helped save our Republic from the national GOP redistricting nightmare!

Scoop: DeSantis "begging" Trump for prime role in administration He's expressed interest in attorney general, secretary of defense and the Supreme Court, sources say.

Ron spent $130 million on a failed presidential campaign, lost every county in Iowa, dropped out before New Hampshire, renamed an airport after the man who humiliated him, and is now "begging" him for a job.

The most expensive act of political submission in American history.

If we are being realistic and honest - which really is the least we can do - it’s very likely warmer today than anytime in the last 120,000 years. And, the global warming rate the past century - and especially the last 30 years - is “exponentially”… 1/

AI companies are smartly setting themselves up as providing the illness and the antidote. Their goal is trap us in positions where we have to pay for AI, even if just to filter out everyone else's AI outputs!

The trap of AI is how it forces us to deal with it. Your coworkers now use ChatGPT to produce longer emails and longer powerpoints to look like they are doing more work, which now makes it your problem. You either waste more time or have to use AI to summarize emails to get time back.

This is true but flipside is everything will cost more either in time or in filtering systems. What once was cheap or quick will become expensive and time-consuming.

e.g., AI makes evading spam filters cheap and quick, and now all of us waste more time dealing with spam.
