The American Dream should work for everyone, not just the wealthy. When CEOs make nearly 300 times what their workers earn, something is broken. I'm fighting for policies that give working families in Arizona a real chance at getting ahead.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
“We have a billionaire crisis,” says @matthewstoller.bsky.social. The “Epstein class” has exposed something many Americans already realize. The system isn’t rigged left against right; it’s "tilted towards the billionaire class," #Velshi
Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 — two weeks from today— we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nation’s history. NoKings.org

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

Brandon had served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan and was committed to training the next generation of servicemembers. He was a beloved mentor, friend, & leader, and deserved so much better.
Our hearts are with Brandon’s family, friends, & the ODU community as they grieve this senseless loss.
The AI bubble is a symptom of the greater sickness in a software industry that stopped caring about making software. Allowing management consultants and growth-perverts to take the wheel and demand that every single software company make $100 million a year or get shot to death at dusk has ruined the incentives that Silicon Valley was built on. The only way to turn “every” software company into an eternal growth engine is to change their primary purpose from building software to selling services that sometimes involve some sort of software. The entire SaaS sales stack is utterly fucked, geared toward conning people that buy software but don’t use software rather than providing any meaningful service. This con could only last so long before it fell off the tracks, because the crooked and cowardly lack any soul or wisdom that might give them the ability to steer a company toward anything resembling a sustainable future. As Hansson said, not all software needs to evolve forever. A product does something, and it should get better over time and only change in a way that improves the experience for the customer. This can be done in a way that makes the company grow, but that growth should only come from an honest exchange of value with the end user. I realize that sounds a little fanciful in our era of Rot Economics, but the nightmare that I fear is to come for the software world is one borne of the growth-at-all-costs poison in the veins of Silicon Valley. It’s a comforting lie to say that “AI is destroying SaaS,” because saying that allows you to keep believing that everything will grow forever, and the SaaS con can continue. I’m not saying that SaaS will never be a viable business model, or that no SaaS company will ever succeed, but that the mistaken belief about basically any SaaS company being viable enough to make a hundred million dollars or more a year without venture capital or debt propping it up is a lie told to you by people that don’t know or care a…
Software-As-A-Service has been mutated and brutalized into the service of capitalism. Things were too easy for too long, which led to the Rot Economists chasing out the people that actually made software, because one could eventually sell to companies without ever dealing with the software itself or those that might be unfortunate enough to use it. And as the SaaS business model dies, nobody at the helm of these companies can find their ass from their earhole. Without the imaginary eternal growth engine of SaaS, venture capital and private equity will lose one of their only replicable tools for conning limited partners and pension funds into handing over tens of billions of dollars to invest, and they deserve it. They all fucking deserve it. They deserve to lose. None of them gave a rat fuck about building any future other than one where they got incrementally richer every time something I have to use for work gets worse. I’m sure there are noble SaaS investors out there, people that give a shit, and SaaS companies that exist that are doing useful things that their customers like. I just think they’re drowned out, both in share of voice and venture capital dollars invested, by the plants of the Rot Economy’s worst venture capitalists and private equity worms. I don’t think that anyone who actually interacts with SaaS companies with any regularity will disagree with me about the larger state of the industry, and anybody who gets mad at reading this likely participates in the greater con of the greed-led SaaS empires that are currently billowing with smoke. And really, my grievance is with the funders not the founders, other than guys like Aaron Levie who spend more time writing endless Twitter screeds about non-existent AI agents than they do thinking about their actual customers or workers. AI-pilled SaaS leaders have lost the plot. They do not understand technology anymore, nor do they care about their customers enough to steer them away from unreliable, …
The AI bubble is a symptom of the greater sickness in a software industry that venture capital and private equity incentivized to prioritize growth over anything involving solving actual human problems.
AI didn't break the software industry. VCs did.

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.
Breaker reports Time did not disclose that a coauthor of its cover story on Anthropic was a Tarbell fellow, funded by effective altruism AI cultists. I've been cautioning young people tempted by its journalism fellowship to research the funders. #TESCREAL

More freedom for Russia from sanctions; more revenue for Russia to slaughter Ukraine.
Whatever Trump/Russia/Epstein is, and whatever Trump/Kushner/Witkoff side deals exist, this is a disgrace.

The Iran war and global energy markets are beyond Trump’s control. Like COVID in term 1, except this crisis is entirely of his own making.
In Minnesota too, bullying and a show of force didn’t work like he wanted, and he couldn’t BS it away.
Great to talk about this with @gregsargent.bsky.social.
The only "winner" in Trump's war
... is Russia.
Go figure.

Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea.

“There’s another young boy I met last time whose name is Liam Nias,” @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social said. “He’s 7, from Honduras, I believe. He reminded me of Liam Ramos, except no one knows this other boy — he’s just unknown and sitting there in this prison.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...
Super pathetic if this were off the cuff but it enters stratospheric levels of ultra sad beta manbaby when you realize he actually wrote this out first
"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.
Six years ago today, Louisville police murdered Breonna Taylor while serving a no-knock warrant based on false information.
They shot her six times while she slept in her home. Breonna was only 26. She was an EMT, an aspiring nurse, and beloved by all who knew her.
the country is at war and the president is leaving DC this afternoon for a weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers
Yeah, man, it’s an absolute mystery why so many people are going all in on AI refusal. Maybe they absolutely do understand the ways in which AI is “useful” to the people hawking AI in the words of those very people.
What stands out to me is the arrogance. The surefootedness that this was the correct thing to do despite no experience in government. The presumption that they were entitled to use their own uninformed judgement to cut funds to things that they don’t personally value www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

bud they used to solve crimes
The war in Iran is the direct result of capitalism. So are billionaires and the child trafficking they do. So is unemployment and the supressed minimum wage. Climate change? Yep. AI taking over? Yep. We need UBI yesterday, and with the rate of change of the world there is no 'too soon'.
Could America please be known for something else?
Your grandmother-to-the-nth is almost certainly in my family tree, too, and it would be good if we learned to act like it. We’re all more like siblings than we generally admit.
