This is heartbreaking.
I wrote this essay Monday evening, in a state of agitation after watching Max Miller’s use his wife’s act of making him dinner as evidence that he couldn’t possibly have abused her. I published it this morning, and mere hours later it’s all gotten even more horrific. 1/ dot-connecting.ghost.io/on/

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
1/ The Pentagon under Fox News host Hegseth got caught running an AI fake news site & they can't even fake it right. Garbled headlines.A White House missing columns. Image files literally named after the AI tool that made them. Your tax dollars built this #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
2/ The site is La Tilde, pitched as an independent Latin American news brand in Spanish and English. AI detection tools flagged much of the writing as machine made. Not only do they lie to us here in the states, they lie in Latin America as well. #AllTheyDoIsLie theintercept.com/2026/06/02/l...
The Pentagon Is Running an AI Propaganda Mill Targeting Latin America
La Tilde publishes an unusual mix of personal finance guides and articles extolling American military efforts in Latin America.

The business of "A.i." is based on a lack of consent. The corporations pushing it don't ask if anyone wants it; they force it on us. They use it to surveil. They offer it to creeps to create nudes of others without permission. It's a business run by creeps with the ethics of creeps.

Hell no! The "great reporters" left at the Washington Post are whitewashing a corrupt ideological project. They are no different than Brett Baier or Chris Wallace for Fox News. People should spend their dollars at independent, honest media outlets, not the corrupt Post. @sulliview.bsky.social

1/ 🧵 You woke up and checked your phone. Searched a symptom. Drove to work. Texted your partner about a medical bill. By 9am you shed enough data to build a profile so precise it knows exactly what scares you most. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
The craziest thing about these two photos of Max Miller is they are just from the first minute of his 20 minute live today for his own personally conducted public soothing Therapy Session while he waited for the teleprompter to start working.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
