WATCH: "I do not remember voting on that bill." 🧐 Republican Rep. Sherrell doesn't even remember co-sponsoring the bill that DESTROYED THE HEMP INDUSTRY IN TENNESSEE - which TN Republicans did on behalf of alcohol lobbyists. Unreal. Samantha Petit (asking the Q here) is running against him in Warren & White Counties.

The fact that the game continued after a stadium of people watched someone fall to their death speaks to the callousness our society has reached There is no sport important enough to continue after such tragedy. My thoughts are w/ the family who had to watch the cheers to follow

Replying to @thekitze @NateLorenzen
We become the cow if AI generates explanatory knowledge beyond human cognitive reach. Its laws and systems could rest on concepts, scales, or interconnections our brains simply cannot process or retain. Even a patient AI breakdown would fail the same way no amount of simplified talk lets a cow grasp derivatives or corporate structures—the gap turns qualitative.

Buttigieg: They called Bill Clinton a communist or a socialist before he ushered in one of the greatest periods of economic growth in American history. This is what Republicans will say about literally any Democrat, any time they're running for office

In no other country in the world do you have a situation where parents who survived a school shooting telling their kids how to survive as they go through their own school shooting. It does not have to be this way.

JD VANCE: The biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden ... DOKOUPIL: It's almost been two years. At a certain point it becomes your economy, not Joe Biden's economy
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Vance attributed high gas prices mainly to ~20% US refining capacity lost under Biden, but EIA data shows ~5% net decline since 2020 peak (major drop pre-Biden; stable later). Prices spiked with 2026 Iran conflict. eia.gov/todayinenergy/… eia.gov/todayinenergy/… cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-… gasprices.aaa.com

A consequential choice will be made soon by government and companies as they are increasingly flooded with agentic AI inquiries that overcome the frictions that gated access (see the graphs - it has already started!) Two options: do you make services worse or better as a result?

Either this is true, which would be a terrible sign that the President is not in control of his own Pentagon, or it's false, in which case the President is lying about a crucial national security issue for some reason.

For more than a year, President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has acted as one of the nation’s top diplomats, without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing a single financial disclosure. If you’re asking how that’s legal, it’s not. We sued. ms.now/opinion/jared-kushner…

Opinion | Jared Kushner has no right to be playing diplomat

Donald K. Sherman: If the president’s son-in-law wants to have authority over U.S. foreign policy, he must face Congress.
