Bernie fan

@ChristopherJM Trump doesn't know anything about history, so I can see how this got on his nerves

@TheStalwart weirdly? He has no other viable option than Warsh

If I had to guess. A) Kevin Warsh does not, in fact, cut rates and B) Trump doesn't blow a gasket, and is weirdly chill about it

@NateSilver538 @TheStalwart @ABC didn't your data tell you that corporations are evil and capitalism is a scam?

Honestly what a bunch of assholes @ABC

@aobrien2010 I was wondering what the hell was going on over there. They shut down part of Park Ave

Do they really need snipers & the Maine National Guard's Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction unit at the Turning Point USA Fest in Portland?

No, most people are probably not motivated by a desire to learn “truth,” supported by a rigorous evidentiary standard, when they listen to podcasts. But why should this absolve the podcast proprietors for spewing a constant tsunami of absolute bullshit? Especially when the podcasts in question are increasingly being consumed as the main source of “news” for giant masses of people, and have increasingly become the most influential “media” in general, particularly for younger demographics? Given this newfound stature, should it just be blithely accepted for all eternity that zero factual or evidentiary standards will ever apply in this one particular sector of the media? Notwithstanding its increasingly outsized political and cultural influence?

"if you think AOC... is somehow less progressive, less moral, less worthy of your support than MTG; if you as a leftist think she is better than AOC in any way, then I think you need help." My deep dive on AOC vs MTG, especially their records on Gaza & Israel. I bring receipts:

@mattduss counterpoint: he was right

Jeff Lebowski was wrong about the Eagles.

Kids in Lower Merion school district in Pennsylvania get iPads starting in kindergarten, switch to Chromebooks in second grade and get their own MacBooks in eighth grade. Hundreds of parents signed a petition asking to preserve their ability to opt their children out of using digital devices during the school day. The school district has pushed back, saying it’s not feasible to let hundreds of students opt out of technology that is essential to the curriculum.

@nytimes what exactly is the "news" here?

Breaking News: As Xi Jinping and President Trump began their summit, both leaders hailed the importance of the U.S.-China relationship. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4wIuXfQ

@Legal_Fil @EmmaVigeland this doesn't make any sense. it's an entirely different context

Whenever I see these over-the-top welcomes of Trump abroad, I’m reminded of how the only people who don’t know how to get what they want from Trump are Democrats.

@Legal_Fil @AndrewHartory WTF does 'if they were just normal' mean?

@AndrewHartory I’m not saying to do this. But the choice isn’t between obsequiousness or acting like maniacs. If they were just normal, they’d get so much from the guy that people on the right would have been pining for Mitt Romney.

@mattyglesias the most pathetic people in world history, in addition to all else

lmao they’ve been editing the most wanted list to juke the stats

@kevin_luhman @Timodc irrelevant to Tim's argument

@Timodc Platner likes to pal around with David Sirota as the two trash Obama. No thanks.

Khanna, Massie, Lurie, and Zohran have demonstrated how anti-status quo politics can work for people with different ideologies. The Dems need more creative destruction and laboratories of reform. My case for Moulton, Mahan, and yes Platner. thebulwark.com/p/the-status-q…

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

@DanLamothe @MoshehNBC @ckubeNBC @albamonica How do they not realize how ridiculous and clownish this comes across? This is just bad self-parody at the highest level

"The U.S. military is considering officially renaming the war with Iran “Operation Sledgehammer” if the current ceasefire collapses and President Donald Trump decides to re-start major combat operations, according to two U.S. officials." - @MoshehNBC @ckubeNBC @albamonica

Exclusive: Earlier this spring, a mysterious explosion blew up a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight, on one of Mexico’s busiest highways, just outside of its capital city. It was a targeted assassination facilitated by CIA ops officers on the ground. Since last year, CIA operatives inside Mexico have directly participated in deadly attacks on several, mostly mid-level cartel members—a lethal campaign that's gone largely unnoticed.

NYT reporting on classified U.S. intelligence assessments of Iranian missile capacity reiterates that they maintained 70% of their missiles and launchers but adds that 90% of their underground storage and launch facilities are also still active. Iran had designed is missile program with the acknowledgement of not being able to protect its airspace and relied on hardened underground "missile cities" to compensate. U.S. and Israeli attacks apparently disabled the entrances to some of these facilities and hit surface buildings. But as many observed at the time the attacks were failing to actually penetrate the underground facilities where the operations were carried out and missiles kept in storage. Most problematically for a renewed campaign the missile complexes near Hormuz are almost all still active according to the assessment. If the U.S. intel assessment is accurate it also explains why Iran was able to maintain a steady rate of missile fire until the end of the war, and also suggests that the U.S. and Israel simply wasted a lot of top-tier standoff munitions firing at rock complexes that it failed to penetrate.

Pete Hegseth went in front of an Appropriations subcommittee today. Susan Collins is Appropriations Chair. She did not ask him even ONE question about Iran. Spineless. Susan Collins is a spineless Senator who refuses to stand up for working Mainers being crushed by costs.

we destroyed their nuclear program, ok fine we didn't destroy it, but we eliminated the regime, ok fine we didn't eliminate it, but we destroyed all their missile launchers, ok fine we didn't do that either, but hey we did waste 30 billion dollars and kill dozens of schoolgirls

@TheStalwart almost as if it has no connection to the health of society

The NASDAQ is up over 13% this year

While Canvas was old fashioned hack, seems to me that the one thing we can all agree on is that AI increases the risk of hacking exponentially, so if we didn’t have good enough reasons to have a moratorium on AI and surveillance ed tech in schools that alone would be enough.
