According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.

This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

If you thought biology couldn't get any weirder, life finds a way:

"We term females exhibiting this reproductive mode as xenoparous, meaning they give birth to other species as part of their life cycle."

I put the Curb Your Enthusiasm music to the stock market falling in real time as Trump announces his tariffs. My masterpiece lmao

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here's the case.

Trump's alignment with Putin - and his plan to sell out Ukraine - is shameful.

But it's part of a bigger story. Trump sides with dictators bc it legitimizes his plan for America: a Russian-style kleptocracy where the rich steal from us to enrich themselves.

Top Biden adviser Mike Donilon on the post-debate fallout last year:

“lots of people have terrible debates…usually, the party doesn’t lose its mind and that’s what happened here. It melted down.”

Adds that he thought pushing Biden out was “insane”

Destroying the CFPB is a long term strategic error by the oligarchs. The bureau was the very modest cost for the bailouts. Next time liberals will understand there is no good faith dealing with you, your power must be broken.

Crazy interesting paper in many ways:
1) Voice-enabled GPT-4o conducted 2 hour
interviews of 1,052 people
2) GPT-4o agents were given the transcripts & prompted to simulate the people
3) The agents were given surveys & tasks. They achieved 85% accuracy in simulating interviewees

[charlesrdoss @charlesrdoss]

Hey smart folks, this chart has gone around about how bad incumbency was in elections this year. But why wasn't it bad last year?

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Fun fact.

Today's election is the first presidential election since 1976 where a Bush, Clinton, or Biden is not on the ballot.
