Once you have finished, you will know exactly how you should have done it.

Andy Beshear is demonstrating why voters are pushing out incumbent democrats. What a pathetic response to covering up McConnell’s death. “I haven’t heard anything”. Dude get off your fucking ass and go down to the hospital. Cause a fucking scene. We’re tired of this shit.

I think the Governor of Kentucky has every right and responsibility to either see Mitch or declare the seat vacant.

It’s an interesting strategy, taunt young people into voting.

On July 17, 2026, Retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig (a conservative, Republican judge from the 4th Circuit) stated:
"Mister Blanche's testimony today before the Congress of the United States is contemptible. Every word of it contemptible. Uh as a candidate for Attorney General of the United States of America he is an embarrassment to America itself. If, again, if the Republican Senate confirms this man on his record to be at the next Attorney General it will mark the end of the rule of law in America."

🇺🇸Pete Buttigieg says he wants to abolish the Electoral College and elect presidents by the national popular vote.

Every American’s vote should carry the same weight, no matter what state they live in.

1. Communism is utterly un-American.

2. Authoritarianism/fascism is utterly un-American too.

3. The Democratic Party is not Communist. Not yet. Not even close.

4. The Republican Party IS
authoritarian/fascist. RIGHT NOW.

So…which party is the greater threat to America?

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

As a patriotic American, I embrace our accomplishments, and on this 250th anniversary, I resolve to help build a more perfect union. I recognize that we have often fallen short; we have stumbled, we have faltered, and we have broken promises.

Too many Americans remain outside the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This anniversary should be a reminder of how far we have come, as well as a revitalization of our commitment to our founding ideals.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

It’s upsetting to watch so many people be led to believe a software feature created from human exhaust is an alien intelligence.

It’s a psyop. LLMs are a clever way to compress and search large databases with patterns. They have now inhaled effectively all of human knowledge. From this point, there will be spikes of improvement in narrow areas, but the big models are already collapsing from inhaling their own exhaust.

The core technology is at least 40 years old. Neural networks are nothing new. We’re just attaching obscene amounts of computing and data to them.

The physical nature of an LLM is literally just a database of tokens (word parts) and weights (relationships) that can be queried. It is not magic. It can be made deterministic by setting the entropy aka temperature to zero. It is a clever way to store an immense amount of data and retrieve it through token predicting.

“Agents” are just LLMs being queried in a loop. They take exponentially more energy and suffer the same problems as chatbots—hallucinations and sycophancy—but exponentially more complicated to solve.

In reality, it’s all a category error. It’s a mirage created by the desire of a small group of elites to build a technological and financial moat around themselves. “AGI” is the McGuffin, the plot device, to serve as the messiah that will deliver people from the toils of everyday life.

The broligarchs are trying to sell us our own replacements. According to them, we won’t have to drive, or work, or think anymore. The robots and AI will all do it for us.

It’s the oldest con there is: magic beans.

Your chatbot is not your Jesus or your girlfriend. Your Claude instance is not intelligent. It’s a search engine for human knowledge stolen from the internet and the destruction of physical books.

So please understand. You are witnessing the biggest financial bubble in all of human history based on deceptive marketing, astroturfing, and cult dynamics. You are not witnessing the birth of a new intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s a battle we’re losing.

Listen up, Kentucky.

Conservative principles are the foundation of what used to be the Republican party.

Limited government.
Individual liberty.
Free markets.
Traditional family values.

Thomas Massie is one of the most conservative members of the House. He didn't turn on the party.
The party turned on you.

There is nothing conservative about protecting wealthy p*dos.

There is nothing conservative about enriching billionaires off the backs of hard working Americans, or the backs of American farmers.

Thomas Massie is the ONLY Republican who has had the courage to call out blatant corruption, to stand on the side of child victims, and to do what's right for farmers and the people of Kentucky - even as Trump tries to hand your lunch to China.

Remember that as you vote on May 19.

Thomas Massie is standing up for YOU. And he's the only one willing to do it. 🇺🇸
