The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war. Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

Trump hasn't gone to Congress for authorization to attack Iran. He hasn't explained the necessity or urgency of preemptive action by us. I'd very much like to see regime change in Iran, but Trump hasn't explained how we intend to help achieve that goal. Congress: Just say No.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Lieu: How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump in trying to steal the election and stealing classified documents than about Trump's associations with Epstein

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

Imagine wtf is in those Epstein files.” bsky.app/profile/acyn... bsky.app/profile/flip... bsky.app/profile/uncl...

Alabama wants to lower the bar for executing disabled people—if SCOTUS lets it

Alabama wants to lower the bar for executing disabled people—if SCOTUS lets it

The case law is clear: There's more to intellectual disability than IQ tests. Will Trump's justices care?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free. Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

Could you please clarify to your followers that what I actually said was: "In some respects this government under Keir Starmer looks more Tory than the Tories". I had just spelt out exactly which respects I meant: its anti-protest laws and the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Thank you.

Thunberg said, “If Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors.”

Occam's Razor always rules. Always.

Right now, I’m reflecting upon whether, given how the world might look in 30, 20 or even 10 years, whether that extra decade is even worth passing on fries, ketchup and mayo. #longevity -vs- #philosophy

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

The term Antifa is a shortening of antifascism. It's NOT a formal organization. It's a belief. A really good one. The stupidity of trying to declare it a "terrorist organization" is just ludicrous. It would be like doing the same thing with the word democracy. What the hell is so hard about this?!

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

“Maybe I met him on some boys’ trip? I feel like I’ve seen his penis before. Have we ever gone swimming at the same time? You have a mole right here under your rib cage, right?” said Trump

Add to the weapons-grade cringe her use of "P word", to avoid having to write Epstein's side-hustle in full. “As you know, I did not, absolutely not, say the ‘P word’ [paedophile] about you but understand it was reported that I did.” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Actually, when only 97% of the stories about a person who is 100% bad are bad, it means someone is the media isn’t doing their job.

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
