Note: "virtually unprecedented" here is a nice way of saying "very illegal."
🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

If I saw this behavior in a store I would assume they were trying to harvest my kidneys.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

It can often feel like there's a whole lot outside our control.
But if there's any kind of election in your town today, that's a way to make a meaningful difference in your state or local affairs.

Today I’m voting for school board. Keep the local MAGA out. Keep the ABA teacher with no real information about her out too (IYKYK).
Your local election for boards and judges and funding and so forth really do matter. Go vote!

This man is going to probably fire a whole bunch of support staff and then wonder why there isn't enough food, fuel, or spare parts to actually put boots on the ground or planes in the air.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

I recall an article from, like, a year or two back, where an AI exec talked about how it was basically impossible to keep CSAM out of their training data, and I feel like that should've been a bigger red flag at the time.
This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

If you're represented by a Democrat in either chamber, call their offices and demand they do more than this weak shit.
Government funding is the one card congressional Democrats have to play, and one they could and should use to push back against Trump's authoritarianism.
What's their big demand?
RFK Jr's resignation? Reforms in ICE? Stand down of National Guard?
NOPE.
"Obamacare enhanced premium tax credits"

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

The shooting of Charlie Kirk is entirely horrific and terrible, but it is also the entirely predictable outcome of Charlie Kirk's own professed beliefs and policies.
He was comfortable saying what he did because, I suspect, he simply believed he would never be in the firing line.
