Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all? Are we prepared to take on the enormous economic and political power of the billionaire class, or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy? These are the most important questions of our time, and how we answer them will determine the future of our country.

Third, I’m not a victim. Don’t cry for me, Bluesky. I said what I said deliberately, knowing the risks. I will miss the parasocial relationships with many cool people, but some of those will be rebuilt elsewhere. It’s social media, not life. Moreover, I’m fortunate. I have lots of channels to express myself. I am in a far better position than the average Bluesky user who gets banned for lashing out
First, on June 12, 2026, before taking down President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center’s façade, Defendants constructed scaffolding and hung a tarp to shield the work from public view. Today, the tarp inexplicably remains. Indeed, it appears that the tarp will be there for the long term. Defendants have fashioned two doorways in the structure to permit pedestrian access underneath the structure, and the entire assemblage appears to be semi-permanent. As a result, today, this tarp largely obscures John F. Kennedy’s name on the front portico. This latest development is a transparent effort to frustrate a return to the status quo that existed prior to the Board’s unlawful vote to rename the Kennedy Center on December 18, 2025. Despite not responding to Plaintiff, Defendants apparently told a reporter that the “scaffolding and tarp will remain up as crews address maintenance needs of the marble and soffit panels.”3 This is plainly pretextual: The scaffolding appears to be approximately twenty feet below the soffits. Nor have Defendants provided any explanation of these supposed “maintenance needs.” Instead, Defendants appear to be actively undermining the restoration of the Kennedy Center’s name, in a petty act of defiance. In addition to raising concerns about compliance, willfully sabotaging Kennedy Center’s iconic façade to assuage Defendants’ vanity or massage broken egos is a clear

Asked for comment about Democracy Unmuted’s attack campaign on Friday, Abughazaleh shared a statement with MS NOW, calling the material “filled with false and defamatory claims about Kat’s background and campaign.” “Voters deserve to know who is paying for political influence campaigns like this and whether any campaigns or outside groups are coordinating behind the scenes,” the statement continued. “We welcome full investigative scrutiny of the entities involved and the sources of their funding.”

Colbert: Now, there’s been some attention on your race in recent weeks after a Tik Tocker that you met in person says that you privately said to them, and I want to get this quote, they attribute to you, right? This person says, you said, “I signed up originally to run against a mediocre black man, not a formidable and intelligent black woman” supposedly in reference to Colin Allred being the black man and you’ve denied this. Talarico: Yes. Colbert: Okay. You denied that you ever said that. Talarico: That’s correct

Screenshot from a politico article: Some Trump aides counter that the president’s “hoax” line is being taken out of context. The president isn’t dismissing Americans’ pain, said one White House official, but is instead calling the Democrats’ affordability campaign “hypocritical” and a “con job” because the left is trying to “rewrite their own history” and “hijack the phrase.” “The word that they use is a hoax because they’re the ones that caused the problem,” Trump told reporters Wednesday.

Screenshot of text: Researchers and firms are already using LLMs to simulate polling results. Current techniques are based on the ideas of AI agents. An AI agent is an instance of an AI model that has been conditioned to behave in a certain way. For example, it may be primed to respond as if it is a person with certain demographic characteristics and can access news articles from certain outlets. Researchers have set up populations of thousands of AI agents that respond as if they are individual members of a survey population, like humans on a panel that get called periodically to answer questions.

Thus, the rule formulated in section 581 of the Restatement Second of Torts governs this action against EWAP for libel. Accordingly, in order to find the malice or scienter necessary to hold EWAP liable for disseminating the libelous material, a jury would be required to find that EWAP knew or had reason to know of its defamatory character.

Screenshot of text that reads: Second, (and this is I think the hardest part—it's hard to even explain in 300 characters), I'd want to distinguish between 'user control', or 'mechanistic' algorithms, and "platform speech" algorithms. These are bad names, so bear with me for a minute. I'll call a 'user control' algorithm, something like simpler algorithms, with relatively known rules, that puts the various users of the site most of the control over the algorithm. Things like the chronological twitter feed, reddit comment rankings, YouTube subscriptions, etc. I'll call a 'platform speech' algorithm one where the users have a more limited, or indirect, control over the algorithm. These algorithms probably operate more as a black-box, and the users have some ability to impact them, but in indirect means. Things like TikTok video selection, recommended YouTube videos (and the next auto-play video, or the end card recommendations), the For You tab on twitter, etc.
