Woke 2 needs Democratic leaders to remember that the Federalists and anti-Federalists hated each other. Get that attitude toward Republicans and talk accordingly. They are your colleagues working against everything you stand for, not good-intentioned, misguided friends.

“In the absence of compelling evidence of federal law-breaking during Midway Blitz…”

They rappelled out of a Blackhawk onto an apartment building to kick down doors and round up the occupants under false pretense and without a warrant to create social media content.

We denounce bothsiderism in US journalism, but the onesiderism is just so much worse: don't report the hitting, report the hitting back as the malicious hitting of some entirely innocent party. It's utterly pervasive in the US media.

Trump Rages Over Epic Self-Own in Virginia—and Reveals Deeper Weakness As Trump’s gerrymandering scheme backfires, triggering his fury, a sharp observer of Democrats explains how this should steel them to aggressively pursue post-Trump accountability.

Good @brianbeutler.bsky.social ideas on how Dem House can pursue Trump:

*defund agencies of Trump officials who flout subpoenas
*subpoena corps that "settle" his lawsuits
*end filibuster, reform SCOTUS

On pod, Brian is good on Trump display of weakness in VA fight:

When you watch OANN/NEWSMAX/FOX NEWS you are watching an entirely different reality, and in a way that's even worse than it used to be. It's not just a reframing of what's happened, you are literally not learning even key facts to get reframed but just unending regime adulation.

If you live in New York and are as mad about this as me I encourage you to call Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie's office and tell him to support the Stop Super Speeders bill that would take drivers like him off the road: 518-455-3791

Thinking of using a chatbot for medical advice? Read this first. Two studies put ChatGPT, Gemini and others to the test on questions of health. In one, they got almost half the answers wrong.

Studies tested ChatGPT with medical queries— they gave wrong answers half the time. Confidently.

“Chatbots are not designed for health… They are designed for one thing: to mimic conversational fluency. They are just good at talking, like a salesperson when you try to buy a car.”

You know the FBI is off the rails if even lawyers in Trump's DOJ had to warn them that their retaliatory investigation lacked legal merit.

Patel’s job is to fight actual crime, not to chug beers in locker rooms, file SLAPP suits against the press or baselessly investigate journalists.

Nicholas Geary, 52, died peacefully Monday. Quite peacefully, in fact— almost indifferently, as though he couldn’t care less.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Shoutout to that episode of tv where Jamie Oliver makes a delicious nutritious meal for school kids and then does the classic “who here would rather have some gross chicken nuggets?” and all the kids are like oh shit chicken nuggets?!?! That’s way better than this food that sucks!

Kudos to this journalist. This is *exactly* how you question them – if they don't answer the question, or deflect it, or answer another question, or verbally attack you – you interrupt them and ask it again.
