Still my all-time favorite congressional moment:

MSNOW has been covering the Swalwell AND Gonzales resignations all day. Fox News has been covering the Swalwell resignation all day. See the difference?

White House Office of Communications Manager Pat Adams is proud of how much Trump has cut LEGAL immigration.

Farmers voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. The Farm Bureau reports today that farmers can't afford to buy the fertilizer needed for this year's crops.

Trump: I will not sign any bills! White House: Here’s the list of bills Trump signed today. To paraphrase Logan Roy: These are not serious people.

What’s happening?

Republicans spent a week claiming Obama was comparing himself to a God because the backdrop at his convention speech had columns

@kurtbardella Well, write-in candidacy in the primary is technically still possible, no?

These people should know it’s too late for her to appear on the ballot as the filing deadline already passed …

I don’t love Sam Altman. I don’t love Elon either. I’m saying if Elon believes in the mission that AI should be non profit then why did he start a for profit AI company? I’m saying that sentence in the post is nonsensical. Elon derangement syndrome. Good one. It wasn’t even an attack on Elon. Although I think his regular posts of misinformation are terrible and harmful and he could take two minutes to fact check the things he posts to 100 million followers but he doesn’t. You can pick sides in this multi billionaire fight if you want to as you clearly have. I’m not on either’s side. Have a nice rest of your day.

@donsisson @Ric_RTP He never began as a nonprofit. Grok started off for profit. You can have a valid for humanity mission as a for-profit company. They just lied to get their mission off the ground Elon Derangement Syndrome You love Sam Altman. He’s your hero SMH

In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

Just flagging this again for. @FoxNews so they can begin their year long coverage of the “pallets of cash” since this is 5 times bigger than Obama did

Yes. It’s nuts that you keep sharing misinformation to your millions of followers. I’ll never understand how everyone calls Elon a genius when he REGULARLY shares things (with over 100 million people) without taking two seconds to see if it is accurate. He is a misinformed machine like the world has never seen. I’ve never been more disappointed in a person I once respected. x.com/yhdistyminen/s…

This is nuts

@carlquintanilla @DavidShuster She sounds like someone trying to swear for the first time. Agree Trump should act like a normal person (and an adult) but she should take her own advice.

Yikes.

Oh my God

If folks start chirping "art of the deal" I'm gonna lose my mind

Even Alex Jones has had enough.

The founders of illegal Russian media operation Tenet Media weren't just allowed back in the country. They're invited to the White House Easter egg roll! x.com/TheLaurenChen/…

Tucker torches Trump in a way I have not seen him do. Can’t believe I’m saying this but it’s worth watching the whole monologue. Here’s just a clip of him saying “who do you think you are?” to Trump. Full video: youtu.be/ykBp1WhdfLE?si…

🚨Tucker Carlson just went off on Trump on Easter morning. The full statement: “No decent person mocks other people’s religions. You mock other people’s faith — you mock the idea of faith itself. We are not God. Only if you think you are do you talk this way.” “This is not a mockery of Islam. This is a mockery of Christianity. To send a tweet with the F word on Easter morning promising the murder of civilians and then saying ‘praise be to Allah’ — you are mocking every other Christian and me.” “That is evil. That is an intentional desecration of beauty and truth — which is the definition of evil.”

Now Trump is talking about rebuilding Iran. Says it will be very expensive if he destroys all the power plants and bridges. Is this what MAGA voted for?

Trump today mocking reporters: “They want me to say: ‘here’s my plan: we’re going to attack at 9:47 in the morning’” Also Trump (yesterday): Said the exact time he would attack Iran.
