Several churches played an AI “message” from Charlie Kirk.

From beyond the grave he tells the faithful he’s “fine” and encourages them to “get back in the fight.”

What's stopping a future Dem president from sanctioning law firms and getting the same treatment?

Sorry, Gibson Dunn. We're pulling your security clearances because you helped sue the EPA once.
NEW FROM @reuters.com: Top U.S. law firms have sharply scaled back their efforts to challenge the federal government in court, especially on behalf of pro bono clients, in the face of threats from President Trump.

I think often of that trans girl posting how much Dems suck, and her evidence was like “I saw a video of a Chinese person changing their gender marker on an official document! Why don’t we have that here?”

We literally did until now. Democrats got us that many years ago. You’d have it under Harris.
imho, a nontrivial amount of discourse is animated by a belated realization that Kamala would have been significantly preferable to Donald in a great many ways, and an attempt to rationalize this away as not to require a political coalition with lame people

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Speaking of Sam Harris, some years ago he once said the funniest thing to Andrew Sullivan about Trump.

The gist was "If I were hypothetically to develop a brain condition that would make my personality like Donald Trump's, I would shoot myself."

The clip went around a bit and it stuck with me.
Man, if only these enlightened centrists had any sort of self reflection on their more recent fellow travelers, why those associations flourished, and how their own reflexive contrarianness enabled the times we live in (see also Sam Harris).

The Trump administration has just removed a federal ban on contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains.

This is a result of Trump’s executive order to combat DEI.
'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.
