βImagine a room awash in gasoline, and there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has nine thousand matches. The other has seven thousand matches. Each of them is concerned about who's ahead, who's stronger. Well that's the kind of situation we are actually in.β

Search comes after theΒ release of investigative files renewed attention to sex offender's activities at the Zorro Ranch.
The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
Well, he's quite the overachiever, so I'm going with "all of the above."
For someone who became famous on TV for firing people in person, Donald is such a coward about firing people in real life. He fired Kristi Noem in a tweet *while* she was giving a televised address.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?
This is incompetence. Plain and simple.
Anthropic: hey we love that you want to use our model, just donβt use it to spy on US citizens at random, and donβt let machines kill people without human intervention

Well, no. You can't be there to support the victims unless you're actually there.
Personally, my choice is "attend, but don't react to anything other than applause if he accidentally gets something right." He would LOVE to have Dems behave like these pinheads - GOP candidates would have commercials featuring the clips running nonstop from now to doomsday.
This part. I don't want Dems to shout or wave signs around - I want them to sit there, stone-faced. He wants a reaction, ANY reaction, so don't give him one.
No matter what Donald Trump says tonight, the American people already know that he's failed to lower costs, failed working families, and failed to uphold the Constitution. Iβll be there, because I wonβt let him or anyone else intimidate me or keep me from doing my job.
The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

I will never forgive Bezos for what he's done to WaPo.
So he's still stupid af, then.
This administration has already removed the ABA from the process here. That said, the problem isn't with lifetime appointments, it's the total lack of integrity in the people who are still part of the process.
It's possible you're being unnecessarily harsh to the filler...
