Flood Protection Authority board leader, police chief, suddenly out.

They called themselves “Lightning and Thunder” and vowed to “clean up” the Flood Protection Authority. But days into hurricane season, they’re both out.

Yup. Outsourcing your control and decision making to a Slop Slot Machine is why AI doesn’t make sense in the Arts. Whatever it spits out, you can’t explain why you “chose” that detail, because you didn’t choose anything.

New to @CNN, from a source close to Janet Mills:

"The Governor remains on the ballot, and in the wake of this week’s stories, people across Maine are reaching out to tell her they’re voting for her and encouraging her to get fully back into the race." #MESEN

@acalce1000 @MattZeitlin Yes, and posting about that stupid stuff won't stop it. Winning elections might.

[john @johnsemley3000]

the way in which *other journalists* are kowtowing to CBS brass on this matter is utterly pathetic. it’s not about Pelley being fired. it’s about him being right in everything he said, and how he said it. you’re siding with THE BOSSES!

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Weird none of the liberals who attended the pro-genocide rally conditioned their presence on purging the “extremists” before hand. Weird how they attended, then feign outrage afterwards. Buddy who do you think runs Israel (the actual state, not the amorphous liberal ideal)

AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge.

The wealth it generates must benefit humanity — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other AI oligarchs.

That’s why I’ll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act — to give the public a direct ownership stake.

Bezalel Smotrich marched in NYC today.

He called for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, leads the settler movement stealing Palestinian land, and faces a possible ICC arrest warrant for crimes against humanity.

Every elected official should condemn his presence here.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Why is it controversial for Zohran to skip a parade bc of his principles but not for Democratic politicians to march with a fascist bigot like Smotrich?

Somehow, the #Orleans judicial cuts (after all that) morphed into cutting three from criminal, two from municipal and traffic, two from juvenile.

But the rationale for cutting at least one, maybe all three of the judges at Tulane & Broad is political, I can only assume. #lalege

"central planning" is apparently when you create a voluntary incentive and then also a measure that prevents fraud of that incentive

[Nino America @Nino_Merica]

In 2009, the government took 690,000 perfectly good cars and destroyed them on purpose.

Not recycled. Not resold. Wrecked beyond repair. Dealers were forced to pour sodium silicate straight into the engines so they’d seize up and never run again. Cars that a single mom could have bought for $3,000 got turned into scrap metal because Washington decided they knew better.

They called it Cash for Clunkers. $3 billion of your money. Sold to you as saving the planet and helping the economy. What it actually did was wipe out the bottom of the used car market overnight.

That reliable $3,000 Honda Civic? Gone. Now it’s $7,000 if you can even find one. The working people this program was supposed to help got priced out of owning a car at all. Single moms. College kids. Guys working minimum wage trying to get to their shift. The exact people politicians pretend to care about in every campaign ad.

Used car prices jumped 30% between 2009 and 2014. That’s not an accident. That’s what happens when the government destroys half a million vehicles and then acts surprised when the price goes up.

And the environmental win they bragged about? The old cars got around 15 to 17 MPG. The new ones got 24 to 25. You wiped out 690,000 cars to bump the average up 8 miles per gallon. That’s not saving the planet. That’s central planning with a green bumper sticker.

But here’s the part nobody talks about. Cash for Clunkers is the reason your car payment is what it is today. It normalized 84-month loans. Seven years of payments on something that starts losing value the second you drive it off the lot. Turned cars into anchors chained to working people’s paychecks.

Bureaucrats popped champagne because dealer lots cleared out. Meanwhile a whole generation got locked out of affordable transportation and locked into debt they’re still paying on. 🇺🇸

Every time the government says they’re here to help, check your wallet before they leave.

@ettingermentum My theory is that Louisiana needs a Democrat to make sure we get federal dollars we need (particularly for infrastructure/coastal restoration/flood control) when control of the House inevitably changes.
