Trump bragging about his $400 million ballroom and getting up to admire the construction site as he meets with oil company executives looking to plunder Venezuela with money from US taxpayers basically sums up this entire admin perfectly.

NEW: The Supreme Court grants review in several new cases.
These (and likely next week’s grants) will be heard this term. Grants after that, unless expedited, will be heard sometime in the term that starts in October 2026.

I’ve honestly never been more bullish on ACA subsidy extensions than I am right now. Lots of House Rs broke ranks, and Senate Rs are realizing the midterms will be a bloodbath if they don’t do the same.
But the narrative remains:
It was the Democrats who saved health care.
Again.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

1/Quick thoughts on Venezuela oil and what it means for world politics. Rather than a simple story of corporate oligarchy, more about Trump putting himself at the center of spoils that can be used to consolidate power i.e neo-royalism.

Trump says Venezuela to give up to 50 million barrels of oil to U.S.
Trump's announcement came days after U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured its leader, Nicolas Maduro, to be prosecuted on drug-trafficking charges.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

you just design a system in which before anything happens, a well-trained human looks and has to document real evidence of potential fraud, according to a well-designed set of rubrics ... coupled with human on-site audits.
