Impeachment is the only Constitutional check Congress has against a lawless president and talking about it would be a good start to reasserting Congressional power in the future. Assuming of course Congress wants to do that

Speaking out like this is all they can do now. Impeachment is a total and complete joke, and threatening to use it is akin to threatening to hit someone with a wet noodle. Impeachment is no longer a viable tool to use against Republican politicians.

“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?
I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

The stupidest people you know were mad they were born stupid and then the media platformed a dating show co-host from MTV for her vaccine expertise and now this guy runs HHS. Media is on the hook for all of the science brain drain in healthcare and the war on academia.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

In midtown, striking nurses are marching on Kathy Hochul’s office, calling out an emergency order she signed allowing traveling nurses to work in NY during the strike.

They say that move has prolonged the strike and is a handout to the hospital system.

I think it's funny that this interview gave Chotiner a chance to reference this thing he tweeted about 4 years ago
Isaac Chotiner @IChotiner X.com *Brett Ratner* cast *Roman Polanski* in a 'Rush Hour 3' cameo in 2007, during which the latter gets to joke about penetrating Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker amidst a 'cavity search.' This has to be one of the most morally depraved moments in movie history. 8:47 AM • 5/7/22

"Trump is just doing what Obama did, & no one complained back then!" Given that this is a central talking point MAGA is using to reach people outside their hardcore base, it would be useful if a proper journalistic outlet addressed this comparison in an evidence-based way. I haven't seen one yet.

Ok so like I know shit about shit when it comes to any of the modern intelligence culture and I don't know Tulsi Gabbard from Adam really but the only factoid I heard about her over and over is that everyone assumes she was or is a foreign asset which makes this so much funnier

This kicker from @nikobowie.bsky.social: “If the public were aware of how much of the deliberations affecting millions of people are made by 27-year-olds after happy hour, they'd be shocked.”
The secrecy allows the justices to dismiss criticism on the grounds that outsiders don't know or understand what's happening behind the scenes, said Nikolas Bowie, a Harvard Law School professor who served as a clerk to Justice Sonia Sotomayor. "Many of the court's decisions are being made out of the public eye in a way that makes it difficult to assess or criticize them, or to understand what actually motivated the justices," he said. "The lack of transparency makes it difficult for the broader public to know how to respond." He said it also allows the court to conceal weaknesses in its processes, including the justices' reliance on clerks for legal reasoning and writing. "If the public were aware of how much of the deliberations affecting millions of people are made by 27-year-olds after happy hour, they'd be shocked," he said.

Twitter post from @BenjaminDEKR “OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How? The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")” Continuation of twitter post “1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." The problem is: 1. Heartbeat uses Opus (most expensive model) for a trivial check 2. Sends the entire conversation context (~120k tokens) each time 3. Runs every 30 minutes regardless of whether anything needs checking That's $750 a month if this runs, to occasionally remind me stuff? Yeah, no. Not great.”

Take a look at this insane image the Illinois College Republicans posted and then read their statement about how they're not trying to excuse or glorify violence.
ONLY TRAITORS HELP INVADERS Image of a masked federal agent with a gun at the back of a kneeling defenseless man who looks like Alex Pretti In regard to a question about whether the stylized graphic of an officer holding a gun to someone’s head glorifies or valorizes the killings, the RSO wrote that “the image is, in fact, not intended to target nor incentivize violence against a particular party.” They added that “There is no labeling in the graphic, and there are no identifying features. In short, people are going to take away whatever they want, but reasonably this graphic does not glorify nor valorize any incident because it lacks any reasonable connection.” The group stated it does not “endorse violence nor discrimination towards anyone based on their identification with a specific protected group,” and that the groups message is that it supports “the enforcement of the law and those who enforce it.”
