BREAKING: 47 Senators just blocked a measure that would have provided billions more dollars of no-strings-attached funding for ICE and Border Patrol to continue their violence and abuse.
While we applaud these Senators for taking action, the fight continues.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

What it's like to work with AI: a 🧵

What it's like to work with AI: a 🧵
Looking forward to @skepchick.org, @acollierastro.bsky.social, maybe @katblaque.bsky.social and @councilofgeeks.bsky.social talking on a video about "chatbots make you do work you would normally pass to someone else", or as a VERY pro-AI friend put it: "increased productivity increases burnout".
Whatever the productivity gains promised by LLMs, they result in heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.”
All this from the notoriously pro-worker rag [checks notes] Harvard Business Review: hbr.org/2026/02/ai-d...

There's a meta-point here, which is key: Commercial AI tools are built for bosses. It's very obvious, and very simple. This manifests in every part of their design and implementation and use, and it's no wonder they cause burnout.
Interesting research in HBR today about how the productivity boost you can get from AI tools can lead to burnout or general metal exhaustion, something I've noticed in my own work simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/9/a...

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?
TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

The reason people are losing jobs in other countries but Trump's cabinet guy is not is "normalization", not some kind of moral "fall from grace".
The elites did not plan for the Epstein Files to be published, but the "normalization" project has been underway since Reagan, depending on how you count.

Wellness grifter Peter Attia's emails w/ Epstein surfaced in the latest release. Just a few short years after Epstein's initial arrest for procuring a child for prostitution, Attia was responding to redacted photos, comparing Epstein to the Dos Equis guy & expressing his desire to visit his island.

How long before the people who supported all of this pretend they never did? How long before they're tossing their MAGA hats, unfollowing every Trump family account, deleting photos of themselves at the rallies, and trying to convince the rest of us they were never part of the problem?
