@KateClarkTweets Belated congrats! Great stuff - looking forward to opportunities to work with you.

It’s my first day at The Wall Street Journal covering startups, VC, AI and more. Confidential tips welcome: kate.clark@wsj.com | Signal: 415-409-9095.

@kyliebytes @kyliebytes - so sorry - it is a very tough beat and as Alex K. said below - the beat and industry can be brutal. A refresh always helps! I am wishing you all the best and I know you'll land somewhere new that checks all of your buckets. In the meantime, I've subscribed.

this may come as a surprise to you but thank god i got fired kyliebytes.ghost.io/thank-god-i-go…

@kevinroose wait, really? - lol - watching now.

We'll discuss it on the show, but since I'm getting asked about it: no, Sam Altman barging onto the Hard Fork Live stage 10 minutes ahead of schedule to harangue us about the NYT's lawsuit against OpenAI was not planned. Video coming shortly!

@SenFettermanPA @SenFettermanPA - unfortunately you didn’t take the time to dig deeper. You are falling for the lies. It is not riots or chaos. Much of that is manipulated images and fake news. A lot of the fires were started by flash bangs fired by ICE. You should be ashamed of this post!

I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.

@SenBillCassidy NOTHING you say will absolve you. YOU DID this senator - when you chose to confirm him - you a doctor who believes in the efficacy of vaccines. You voted in an crazy anti-vaxxer and now every death that occurs bc of vaccine misinformation or unavailability will be on your hands.

Of course, now the fear is that the ACIP will be filled up with people who know nothing about vaccines except suspicion. I’ve just spoken with Secretary Kennedy, and I’ll continue to talk with him to ensure this is not the case. wsj.com/opinion/rfk-jr…

@TirahAtt @SenBillCassidy This - exactly this - HE LIED to you and you KNEW he was lying but you confirmed him anyway. And when kids in this country start dying of polio again because he "doesn't recommend" the polio vaccine or outlaws it - those deaths will be your responsibility. History will blame you!

@SenBillCassidy Sen. Cassidy - at the hearings you promised vaccines would not be negatively impacted by RFK Jr. Just how do you plan to ensure the new committee isn't filled with anti-vaxxers? Hint: Just talking doesn't do anything. He lied to you in the hearings and he'll mislead you again.

@SenBillCassidy Right - cause talking to Kennedy will do anything. You failed Cassidy -failed your constituents, and all of the American people when you put your Senate seat above people's health. So much for your belief in vaccines. When you voted to confirm an anti-vaxxer, you FAILED.

@dseetharaman Some said it right - end of an era! I will be looking forward to reading your stories whereever you land next!

Some news: I'm leaving the Wall Street Journal today, after a decade covering Facebook, then tech + politics, and now AI. I’ve reported from so many corners of Silicon Valley but mostly its white-hot center. It’s been a huge privilege. 🧵

@SenBillCassidy - How do you feel now about confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. now? - As measles hit the highest number in the U.S. in 25 years and this is how Kennedy responds: nytimes.com/2025/04/29/us/…

@kenklippenstein But people who put Nazi hate language in their social media are okay to be part of DOGE. Wow - talk about hypocrisy. And so much for freedom of speech.

New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants social media for "a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).” Order here: kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-tr…

@joemckendrick @joemckendrick - thank you - it is so important to question this.

"Humans won't be needed for most things"? In 10 years? Oh yeah? Who's going to design, build, and maintain all these systems? Who's going to decide where and why to deploy them? Who's going to train them? nbcbayarea.com/news/business/…

@Milbank Great summary of the "true mayhem" Trump has unleashed. Now if only GOP congress could wake up to it.

As Trump’s parade of horribles marches on, a few on the right locate their spines. Gift link to my latest column wapo.st/3YaYEq3

When private tech companies were exercising their first amendment right to moderate their platform all we heard from the tech right was free speech. Now that the government which is what the first amendment is meant to control is literally disappearing people over speech, the right is silent

@EricNewcomer @rachelmetz Sigh....

@chayesmatthew huh?

Only 7 establishments — 7 restaurants, eateries, coffee shops, bars across all of New York City — will be allowed to serve alcohol in outdoor dining once the program resumes next month, according to the State Liquor Authority.

@P_Kallioniemi 😂😂😂😂

Ladies and gents, it's time for some "Houthi PC small group" memes! I'll start with my favorites, post yours below 👊🇺🇸🔥

@gamoid @edzitron LOL - this made me laugh out loud. Thank you!

BREAKING: I was accidentally added to a group chat with @edzitron, giving me unprecedented access to his inner workings. I wrestled with publishing this, but decided it was ultimately my patriotic duty.

@dieworkwear The reporter shouldn't have left the chat after figuring out it was all real - then maybe he could have gotten some of the messages about how they'd craft their lies/attempts to cover-up their security gaff - of course - they'd have found a way around that too.

me reading national security secrets bc i've been accidentally added to a group chat

This is so disturbing on so many levels

This is FUCKING INSANE Trump's ICE goons detained a Canadian actress because of confusion over a work visa for TWO WEEKS - shackled, thrown in a van, sent to AZ, kept awake, not allowed to contact a lawyer theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…
