yelling that Trump is doing something "against the law" is meaningless if there are no consequences

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

If only @cnn.com had had a leading news anchor, say a @jaketapper.bsky.social, who had focused on, maybe even written a book, say, on Trump's decline. That would have been helpful.

Q: Last week Trump said his legislative agenda is essentially done. So why should voters vote for Republicans if there's nothing left to do legitlatively?

I just want you to imagine what it is like to be a public employee, with an ounce of integrity, who has to try to present any data that contradicts Trump's statements. And what sort of bubble Trump is in as a result.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.
