NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

No surprise at all. Worst case scenario is this anti-meritocratic pattern, best case scenario is an arms race of AI tools versus AI tools to try and "fix" a "problem" that never really existed in the first place.
Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

Like many Americans, woke up today to see how my Senators voted and what they said. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social nailed it. He has been almost perfect this year -- he and my rep (Larson) get A grades from me, and I'll happily vote for and otherwise support them in the future. (Blumenthal fine also)
Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.
I voted NO.

When Zohran Mamdani upset Andrew Cuomo to win the New York City Democratic mayoral primary in June, it led to a lot of histrionics. The usual fear tactics against a young Muslim democratic socialist…

McDonald’s says visits from lower-income consumers dropped by double digits 🍔
Traffic from higher-income consumers rose by double digits — likely because it’s become a 'cheaper' option compared to where they’d normally eat

lol Trump literally ran on fixing everything on day one and has spent the last few weeks telling us he ended 8 wars.
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."

Mayor Pete’s level is making the ALL IN and Fox News morons look insubstantial, which he does well.
He’s never going to come close to his peak as a candidate of winning the Iowa caucuses and being critical to the intraparty Bernie ratfuck.

any Democrat who isn’t cheering Mamdani’s blowout from the roofs right now is a snake and dangerous to any resistance movement against the active fascist era (which they are largely responsible for creating in the first place!)

If the MAGA GOP does this we need to make sure they are out of power for a generation at every level of government.
We had ample opportunity to keep this dogshit from becoming too big to fail, and if there’s contagion due to private credit we now know what to regulate to death for our future.

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
