absolutely brilliant and worth a listen till the end

BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Admiral William McRaven, who led the raid to take out Bin Laden, just slammed Trump and gave an inspiring vision for the nation's future. Every American needs to watch this.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

State run media, state owned enterprises, prosecuting political opponents, gifts from foreign countries, selling pardons, massive amounts of money flowing into the President’s bank account, and banners with his head plastered on government buildings. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I didn't know Presley Gerber. But I was rooting for him from afar, the way you root for anyone you recognize battling the same demons.

Addiction is a disease that knows no bounds. It doesn't care who your parents are, how much money you have, how loved you are, or how hard you're trying. And he was trying. He fought for his recovery in public, in front of a world that offers very little mercy to people who struggle where everyone can see.

We lost nearly 200 people to overdose in this country yesterday. We'll lose nearly 200 more today. About 1,300 a week. Almost 6,000 a month. Roughly 70,000 last year. Every one of them was somebody's Presley.

He started Mental Health Mondays because, in his words, "the goal was to spark real conversations about the stuff most people hide."

So don't hide. Ask for help. Keep asking. And if you've asked before and it didn't take, ask again.

You are not alone.

Because President Trump banned the press pool, there was no audio recorded for his new helipad grand opening - and a unnamed NEWSMAX employee took the opportunity to hijack the closed captioning scroll.

We need to be absolutely clear. Donald Trump is trying to forestall any meaningful limit on AI development, which even the people developing it say has a serious chance of dooming humanity, for one reason. The midterms. AI and its chips and data centers are the only thing keeping the stock market in the black right now. He doesn't want his 20-car pileup to get even worse as gas and grocery prices soar. He’s putting his short term political interests over the huge risk AI poses. And that’s what you’ll get if his stooges like Mike Rogers wins. Short-term, self-dealing liars.

'How President Trump Broke the Kennedy Center'
"Internal emails and documents demonstrate the political capture of the institution, including how officials once pursued a plan to unload much of the art collection."

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨 BREAKING: Jack Clark, Anthropic co-founder, is on Fox responding to Trump's AI comments.

The designer has to go on TV because the president called it a hoax to say: I built this, I know what it does, and we need regulation.

It's bizarre. It's dangerous. What are we doing?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.

We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.

And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.

As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.

Ossoff: "Last week the broken old man threw a two day party in Texas while it costs more than ever to fill up your truck, stock your fridge, and power your home ... they spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

You voted to deny healthcare for 9/11 first responders. Twice.

You justified it to a first responder who had had part of his foot amputated it by calling it a “New York problem.”

You should be ashamed of yourself.

MAMDANI: “2,753 parents and children, husbands and wives, friends and colleagues. 2,753 universes gone in an instant.”

“Twenty-five years later, we have a sacred obligation to build a city worthy of their courage. A city where we run toward one another.”

“That is how we remember.”

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with
@jimmykimmel and @jamestalarico.

You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them.

My Lord.

@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.

Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.

One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.

Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.

Really says it all.

[Reggie B. @reggiebblue]

Trump: I call him Talafreako. He has no respect for Jesus.

Talarico: I am excited to announce that we have "I'm a Talafreako" T-shirts available on our website. We're grateful to the president for the nickname.
He said I'm disrespecting Jesus. You wanna know what actually disrespects Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. Bombing innocent school children in Iran and sending our brave men and women to die in another forever war. That is what disrespects Jesus.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Jimmy Kimmel: Jesus has been co-opted by this MAGA enterprise that makes no sense. You bring it right back to the real teachings of Jesus and I think that is so powerful.

James Talarico: Jesus Christ is the most famous victim of identity theft. The kind of religion that says you can treat others any way you want if you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see.

We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas.

We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

😳 Trump is now literally trying to buy votes 😳

Trump just now announced that if Republicans keep the House and Senate in November, "I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000." He suggested the money will come from tariffs.

The desperation is palpable. Here's the full clip of his announcement:

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
