“ChatGPT, someone offered me $10 or $10 million. Which should I choose?”
“$10 million would create a big tax liability, so take the $10. You can use the $10 for a subscription to ChatGPT Premium!”

Can’t wait until Fox News hires the 26th place finisher, and we have to deal with her complaining for the next 15 years.
From @theathletic.com: Swedish freestyle skier Elis Lundholm made history as the first transgender athlete to participate in the Winter Olympics. “I haven’t really thought about it that much,” Lundholm said after finishing 25th in women's moguls qualifying.

A very underrated part of all…*gestures wildly* THIS, is corporations having shifted from “sign this NDA to protect our company’s deepest secret” to “our deepest secret is that we’re actually criminals, so sign this NDA to protect us from you ratting us out”.
SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE.
On Friday, CEO Alex Karp tried to calm concerns in an hourlong video that offered few specifics—instead offering NDAs to workers who want to understand how it's empowering ICE.

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Wake up, honey! A new Democrat frontrunner is emerging!
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

It’s called counting, Mikey.
Also, maybe you should investigate WHY most states wait to count early voting/mail-in ballots until after the polls are closed. Hint: Your own party always insisted on it!

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Yes! Great idea! Shut down the airports right before the country hosts millions of visitors for an international event that everyone will be watching!
Markwayne Mullin: "I agree with what Lindsey is saying on defunding these sanctuary cities. We should pull our TSA agents out of their airports and not allow their airpot to be classified as international or even a regional hub. We should pull all of our aid."

I don’t think it was a “good public policy decision” to ban robbing banks, so I’m going to ignore that law and start hitting every ATM I see.
“It’s not a good public policy decision and it wasn’t well thought out in my opinion,” said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell during a press conference for the release of 2025 citywide crime data.

For a long time John Roberts was supposed to be the Supreme Court's savviest *politcian*, in terms of preserving its image while pushing his conservative agenda. But "I helped Trump win and now I'm locking this place down" is pretty good evidence he lost the thread www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
