I'm running for Congress because Arizona deserves better than MAGA extremist David Schweikert.

I can't win this race alone. Join me, spread the word, and let's flip this seat:

So...whatcha doing today with no shopping? I am also boycotting Meta today. After work, heading to the mountains to spend time with my oldest. Had to shop a little yesterday and wow grocery (Kroger) prices are high. Cost as much as my monthly stop at Costco.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

It looks less like us obeying Trump in advance and more like MAGA and the GOP obeying Musk in advance.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

I’d make a better Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth.

I say this knowing I have no qualifications for that job but still more than him bc I’m not a drunk, don’t rape people, and don’t support war crimes.

But guess which one of us would be called a “DEI hire”? This whole thing is a scam

Seems frankly rude and bitter to hold the Hegseth vote without an open bar

But the conservative “strict constructionists” on SCOTUS found presidential immunity in the Constitution. It’s right there in Article …No, not in any Articles. It’s in Amendment …No, not in any Amendment. It’s almost like they did what they always accused the libs of doing. bsky.app/profile/adam...

In 1940 Smoky the cat was rescued after an air raid during blitz.
Miss Ann Twynam of Paddington took him home, and nursed him back to health.
She has taught Smoky to salute, and now whenever service friends visit, Smoky loves to do his saluting turn.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

1. Yesterday, Elon Musk — who for some reason is in charge of deciding what federal government programs are unnecessary — declared that the concept of homelessness is a "lie" and "propaganda."

Musk needs to educate himself. Starting with five basic facts.

When I hear people talk about deregulation, what I'm really hearing them say is: "any limitation on harming people is a limitation on profits".

"Dad, how could people want things to be so bad?"

"Well son, we used the internet mostly for porn and screaming our feelings. When it came time to look up things like "fascism" and "tariffs" I'm afraid it was a bridge too far for most."
