It’s been two years since I was last published. Usually only my poems get published, but this was my first story to get accepted in forever. Very grateful for @cerurove. I hope people enjoy this story about Mako, a bad cat who recalls his previous life: https://t.co/ed1ez49Dgb

AOC: I do not appreciate the wholesale fictionalization of American history—the idea that the filibuster is a grand compromise intentionally put in our system. It was created by a clerical error and Jim Crow segregationists realized they could use this error as a loophole delaying the enfranchisement of Black Americans for decades.

So apparently Viktor Orbán has been bankrolling CPAC for years with taxpayer money, and the new Hungarian prime minister is planning to pull all their funding. What do you bet Russia was funneling money to conservatives via the Orbán regime? Massive scandal, IMHO.

BREAKING: A clip is going viral from this morning of Donald Trump wandering away toward the end of the event at the White House. He cutches the podium for support and oddly walks toward a locked door as everyone awkwardly remains seated.

Donald Trump is not well.

Paper shows: every major AI model gets dramatically worse the longer you talk to it.

This is an important variant on the "synthetic data leads to model collapse" problem - the more an LLM ingests it own output, the sicker it gets.

The real reason CBS didn't let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico is that the Ellisons are still trying to buy Warner Bros.

David Ellison runs Paramount, which owns CBS.

He's using CBS to show what loyal oligarchs they are as they seek FCC approval for a WBD deal.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. https://t.co/Hg6b2hjKxT

There was no de-escalation. It was a lie.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Gabbard has buried a whistleblower complaint about her for eight months! Even Congress has not seen it although there is a requirement for them to do so. Trump fired the IG and a loyalist to Gabbard was installed, there appears to be a huge cover-up.

“The lengthy delay on sending the complaint to Congress is without known precedent, according to watchdog experts and former intelligence officials. The inspector general is generally required to assess whether the complaint is credible within two weeks of receiving it, and share it with lawmakers within another week if it determines it is credible.”

I gifted this so you can read it.

WSJ: There is a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard that is so sensitive that it is "said to be locked in a safe," and the administration has spent months trying to figure out how inform Congress.

>despite the news about Bovino, multiple DHS convoys have entered the city this morning and they are very active
>They're ramping up operations against observers. Some are being followed to their homes, verbally threatened, & in some cases ICE is trying to violently detain them.

Breaking Axios:

Kristi Noem's language that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" federal agents was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller.

That's according to four sources who spoke to Axios. https://t.co/pszU5LKBfi

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of them then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.
