Hey, @schumer.senate.gov!
Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it.
Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans.
Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.

all bets are, or should be, off -- what is the point of trying to eke out incremental legislative or spending compromises when your counterparty is clearly signaling that they may not honor them (cf. Mike Johnson), or when the executive has shown itself unwilling to be beholden to law at all?

the Dems are like if 'Self Esteem' by The Offspring was a political party.
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

It seems this can't be emphasized enough. Chatbots and LLMs do not make mistakes (excepting any bugs in the code). They do not lie. They do not blackmail or cheat. They follow statistics. When the people who build these systems don't tell you this, they are either deluded or trying to mislead.
When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."
