"I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey’s motion and dismiss the indictment."

Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

The amorality of tech executives and Silicon Valley including their rampant greed, will ensure that we will have a significant percentage of the internet devoted to deepfakes of violence against women.

I know why women choose the bear. It should be self-evident by now.
unless an AI platform can show they took every action to stop this, executives should go to prison. this behaviour has always been harmful and not treated seriously enough but the ability to make ultra realistic fakes increases the harm dramatically. stop it or go to prison has to be the choice.

These guys must pay for the kidnapping. Treat them harsher cause they were doing it under the color of law. ✊
ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025.

Billionaires will traffic you. Tax their obscene concentration of wealth
Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

The world is a richer and kinder place with Charlie Kirk not in it.
A woman reads quotes by the late Charlie Kirk to Republican congressmen, and they find it difficult to maintain eye contact.

I cannot believe the #Steelers punted. They just surrendered the game. They deserve to lose.

And the clock management on that last drive was horrible.

Fuck. Fire Tomlin

Mainliners did it to themselves:

"What particularly hurts is the fact that at no point did we manage to fight back, not effectively anyway. Without intending to, we surrendered control of the idea of Jesus. It is a story that may provide some insights into how to fight the attack on democracy."

That was the best drive of the year for the #Steelers

They might win this one after all.

But mah followahs!!
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The irony of these people complaining about the invented dangers of immigrants and then welcoming brain pollution from overseas hustlers.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

So true. The only real crime in America, the one from which all others spring, is poverty.

As long as most people are scared of being homeless, starving, or not being able to care for their loved ones, they’ll keep working, buying things, and keeping their voices down.
