Let’s be clear, Amy Acton’s birth mother hasn’t been in her life for 48 years. So when the birth mother calls Amy a liar, she’s calling the 12 year old who was raped by her step-father a liar. Vivek has reached a new disgusting low, even for Republicans.

Had FDR aligned the U.S. with Hitler during the late 1930s, it would have been no different than what Trump is doing now. Our president is abandoning not only our allies, but also our national ideas and our commitment to freedom, democracy, human rights, and the dignity of ..1/2

By the time the news of the sanctions went public, Kirill Dmitriev, the CEO of Russia’s wealth fund to Putin, had already posted “Checkmate” on social media, they already knew Trump would deliver what they wanted. Russia played Trump, and they are not even trying to hide it.

As we all expected. CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters are still being denied access to the White House this morning, despite a federal judge ordering the administration to immediately restore their press credentials. This falls into legal category of “high crimes”.

POLITICO exposed Vance as the leaker behind one of the stories the White House later cited to justify banning the outlet from White House grounds. So either they planted these stories and then used them as an excuse to ban the outlets reporting them, or it’s MAGA targeting MAGA.

Bloomberg reports that officials involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Thiel’s Palantir Smart System played a significant role in the strike on the Elementary School in Iran. They relied on outdated intelligence identifying the site as an IRGC facility.

The warnings coming from people building AI are getting harder to ignore. We’re talking about warnings of human extinction, losing control of advanced AI, biological weapons becoming easier to create, cyberattacks, attacks on hospitals /power grids, and AI systems gaining…

access to real-world networks. And Trump today called the people raising these concerns “very negative forces” and bringing up things that “won’t happen.” When the people building this technology are warning that risks could be catastrophic, those should be taken seriously.

The worst thing we can do is act like we already know the truth before the evidence gets to speak.

Mental illness doesn’t make a crime innocent, but it can make a person radically different from the person we see after the crime. The most dangerous oversimplification here is to judge the act and then reduce the entire human being to that act. If postpartum psychosis 1/2

Canada, that took in 6,500 stranded passengers on 9/11, fought beside us in two world wars, and shares the longest undefended border on earth, gets tariffs, mockery, and a VP laughing about them at a party in the Hamptons. We did not lose an ally, Trump threw one away.
