This video about how he’s “fighting his tail off” against Trump would be more convincing if Warner hadn’t voted YESTERDAY to confirm Trump's pick for Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
You may be wondering what the Senate is up to tonight… or what a rescissions bill is… or how Donald Trump is trying to gut public media and important foreign aid. Let me explain it to you.

The vampire has been about many things in many cultures, anxieties about infection/blood, sex, death, and the power of women’s bodies (the yakshi in Kerala, for eg), but in modern societies there is truly no more vampiric an entity than the billionaire seeking power, longevity and even more wealth
You can understand how people in different cultures independently came up with the idea of vampires, of things that look like humans but exist only to consume humans in order to extend their unnatural lives.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"?
It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

#AltCitizens, as you know, contempt gives the courts ability to enforce their rulings. Please read this thread and article.
Then take action and call your reps. This cannot come to pass or our courts may lose a large part of their strength as an independent branch of government.

🚨🚨🚨 I cannot stress enough how incredibly dangerous this is!!! Courts are slow but they are just now building cases that will likely lead to holding the administration in contempt and this language is designed to keep them from being able to enforce it!!!! This is an ALL HANDS ON DECK EMERGENCY!!🚨🚨🚨
Apparently the House budget bill *still* includes language aimed at barring federal court enforcement of most contempt findings. I wrote May 9 about how this not only seeks to get Trump agencies off the hook for recent misconduct, but imperils a wide range of vital legal and constitutional rights.
