Maybe CBS could give Trump a late night talk show and Colbert could be president

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

Brad Lander is being charged with assaulting a federal law enforcement officer who is doing everything in his power not to identify as a federal law enforcement officer.

Germany had to be De-Nazified to allow democracy to flourish. The USA has to be De-MAGAified to do the same.

Americans will not bow down. Americans will not be silenced.
Americans will not be broken by a malignant madman who hates America.
I’m more sure of it after today’s protests.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races.

And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards.

I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

We're not going to let the wealthy elite manipulate us into letting them use Social Security as their personal piggy bank.

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.
Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!
