The Senate is one of the most undemocratic legislatures in the world, it should obviously be abolished or turned into a ceremonial body.

Former DSA Vice Chair Bhaskar Sunkara supports abolishing the Senate: “I would say that I’m against the Senate, I think the Senate is an undemocratic body…”

You do have to feel for all those young, working class New Yorkers making $250k a year who still can’t afford the basic dignities of life: an Equinox membership, daily Sweetgreen, an Oura Ring, the occasional Hillstone Resy, a Taskrabbit housekeeper every now and then, a one-bedroom in a West Village doorman building with in-unit washer/dryer, or—God forbid—a Blade out to the Hamptons sharehouse once a summer.

This is what happens when you don’t understand economics but have a bloodlust for power and a bias against successful minorities

.@tekbog and @basedjensen on why they think Anthropic's cyber risk argument against open source AI is actually just about monopoly:
@tekbog: "I'm kind of skeptical. Yeah, they just want the market and the monopoly. They want everyone to be fearful and they're pumping their numbers. That's my personal opinion of course."
"I think it's good that these models can be weaponized to some degree because a lot of cybersecurity is really bad. It's a very good wake up call to systems engineers to get your sh*t together."
@basedjensen: "It's a double-edged kind of thing. Yes, there is some risks. But I think there's a bigger risk having a small group of people having access to this while the defenders do not have anything."
"If the defenders can actually come in and scan the code and quickly patch things up, that would mitigate the risks much better than having Glasswing or a small Chinese set of companies accessing these cyber capabilities."
"It's rather better to democratize and enable everybody than to hide the capabilities. At some point or the other, it's going to leak. It's better to be patched up and take the pain now than later."

Fascinating WSJ story showing that many Booomers are not only not downsizing their homes, they're instead upsizing and getting large ones. Empty-nest baby boomers own 28% of U.S. homes with three bedrooms compared with 16% for millennials with children. wsj.com/economy/housin…

SECRETARY RUBIO: "This is a distinctive and unique evil. It has always been driven by a hatred, above all else, for civilization itself."

Bias in media, a thread:
1/"Kalshi says, technically, it is a federally regulated financial product, not a sports betting site." The wording makes it sounds like we're being cute, when the differences are very meaningful.

4.8k shares for a lie.
I said that, not Mike Johnson.
And, it's literally true. Every dollar spent on seniors could have gone to something else.
And often should have.
Annie@AnnieForTruth
Speaker Mike Johnson said that Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid need to be “adjusted and fixed,” meaning they will be cutting your benefits in 2027. This is Project 2025. So, we have money for war, ballrooms, reflecting pool, arches, billionaire tax cuts, but not for seniors.

Perez won more than $100,000 on trades related to teleprompter copy for the President, and has been busted. This is a prime example of what insider trading looks like for prediction markets, and you will get caught. Enforcement is working.

I would be happy if the SAVE America Act passed. What the President did tonight didn't move the needle.

Serious question. Why are we not reading off the teleprompter so as to LOOK AT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE in the eye? Not compelling.
English
"Read our documents posted on our website" does not convey an urgent, serious situation. "Do your own research," but from the West Wing.

tonight we've learned that nation-states spy, deploy intelligence assets, hack, and generally fuck with each other. wow. wild.....
Bernie Moreno@berniemoreno
I was just briefed by the White House on what to expect this evening. I would encourage every American to tune in tonight to the President’s speech. This may be the most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The time for complacency with China is over.
