I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW.
No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote.
So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Start every day with this reality:

EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined.

Many of us have been lucky enough to love 💕 and eventually mourn 😰 a pet who was, for us, “the best dog (or cat or [fill in] ) ever.” This is an obit we can all have tried to write ✍️ ourselves . . .

I’ve worried about AI-derived zero-days from the moment I met ChatGPT. New AI offensive platforms are changing the game but haven’t surfaced publicly.
Now finding a Linux kernel-level zero day is as simple as knowing how to prompt. sean.heelan.io/2025/05/22/h...

In this post I’ll show you how I found a zeroday vulnerability in the Linux kernel using OpenAI’s o3 model. I found the vulnerability with nothing more complicated than the o3 API &#821…

A federal judge just dropped a bombshell ruling.

“O.C.G." was illegally “deported." The government submitted false info to support the illegal action—then admitted it hours before it was to be deposed.

Watch my breakdown and decide for yourself.

Today, we take a major step forward for Coloradans by signing two crucial laws focused on healthcare access and affordability. SB25-130 ensures that emergency care is available to everyone. With SB25-045, we begin exploring a universal healthcare system that could improve health outcomes for all.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.

Shame.

This is so vague that it could ban the regulation of any kind of algorithm whatsoever; “automated decision system” is an extremely broad term!
This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

The lady that screamed at the press to SHUT UP!, won’t hold a town hall because she’s afraid of people yelling at her!

The jokes write themselves — let’s get Chuck seated and send Virginia out to pasture 👇🏼
Virginia Foxx is afraid to face her constituents — that's why she hasn't held a town hall in 15 years.

She doesn't care what you think, but I do. That's why my campaign is hosting public town halls all across NC-05, starting with Greensboro on May 8 and Boone on May 12.

Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist:

145. Justice Alito's Misbegotten Dissent in A.A.R.P.
Justice Alito's after-the-fact opinion dissenting from the Court's early-Saturday-morning Alien Enemy Act ruling rests on a revealing array of misrepresentations, misstatements, and non-sequiturs.

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

Beyond parody headline in the NYT. Can't decide whether they're deliberately trolling us at this point, or whether they need to fire all their headline writers.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.
