Wow by the "what are people talking about/what's getting clicks" standard I'm told was responsible for wall-to-wall "is Biden old" coverage, I assume tomorrow's NYT front page will be filled with Trump's Project 2025 analysis and calls for him the drop out because of it?

It’s Tuesday so you know what that means: call your electeds & tell them you support an investigation into the compromised SC judges and AOC’s motion to impeach them. It will take you five minutes max to make calls to both senators and your congressperson. If you can skeet, you can call or email.

It cannot be stressed enough that adjusting the size of the Supreme Court in the 19th c. was a serious solution to serious concerns about how the Court functioned. As @earlymodjustice.bsky.social points out, reform often addressed imbalances. And these imbalances were often about REPRESENTATION. 1/

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

Goldman Sachs recently issued a report called "GenAI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?" savaging the industry, with GS' Jim Covello saying that there's limited upside, and that it's incapable of solving the complex problems that would make it worth it.

Sachs' Covello estimates that a trillion dollars is being invested in propping up generative AI, yet it doesn't solve a one-trillion-dollar problem. It isn't making money, it costs too much, it doesn't create new jobs and doesn't make workers smarter.

On top of Generative AI having no killer apps and barely increasing GDP and productivity, Goldman Sachs also reports that to make generative AI grow much further *will require a rebuild of the American power grid*. This is insane! It's not worth it! Stop!

When the generative AI bubble bursts, big tech will be sitting on acres of unused data centers, and have burned billions of dollars building our the infrastructure for a movement that isn't making anyone money and doesn't fix big, important problems.

An article in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, using the conservative estimate of 4 indirect deaths in Gaza for every one direct death (in other conflicts it’s been 3-15x), calculates that Israel has killed approximately 186,000 Palestinians. That is 8% of the population of Gaza.

Trump can say whatever he wants, but Agenda 47 is published on his website and is the lite version of Project 2025. It’s journalistic malpractice not to ask him about either.

It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"

These are the stakes. This is one of the premier organs of “intellectual conservatism,” and they see the immunity ruling as transformative and revolutionary, and they are signaling the willingness to do violence to defend their gains. Make everyone you know understand these stakes.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

There are so many stories to write about this Supreme Court term — the conditional and hypocritical nature of its rulings, the damage it has done, and the warning it leaves with us. I am glad we are entering a period where I will be able to do some of that work. But, it's dark.

Maybe because he’s the perfect empty vessel. He cares nothing about policy (or repercussions, or politics in general), morals, optics, etc. All he cares about is power and they’ll happily give it to him in exchange for a signature. His ability to play the media like a fiddle is icing on the cake.

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” If that doesn’t give you knots in your stomach, you’re not paying attention. The 3 left-wing SCOTUS Justices should hold a press conference & hammer home just how fucked these right-wing-dominated rulings are.
