The White House reportedly asked Graham to insert waivers into the bill allowing Trump to choose which entities get sanctioned and changing the word “shall” to “may.” Removing the mandatory language from the text would essentially defang the bill, staffers said.
This isn’t a request to change the bill, it’s a request to completely make the bill irrelevant.
I guess we know what they were waiting for to bring him back - looking for some reason they could claim he broke a law so they could retroactively be right.
Well, I’m sure their new AI editors will protect them against defamation lawsuits going forward…
Every individual word is true, that is the dystopian reality we live in, but even when true they’re depending on it sounding too conspiratorial and therefore not credible. The nerve of these people.
That’s actually very surprising - it starts with “DA says” which is presumably their defamation defense, but usually the lawyers wouldn’t let that pass.
Sure, why not? I hear Russia is extremely drug-use-positive and cultivates oligarchs who don’t submit to authority.

Ah, the grand circle of enshittification.
Just letting you know, I appreciate the subtle ways this comment combines Trump’s characteristic dementia-addled “weave,” and our utter and complete exhaustion from it. You’ve made one art.
You’ve fallen for one of the classic blunders!
The attorneys in it for the money dropped off at the time of his impeachments. Those that are left? They are gambling for access to power.
Pam Bondi and Alina Habba were Trump’s personal lawyers. Stupefyingly incompetent conspiracy theorists and utterly uninterested in a payday (along with justice or truth). Their only qualifications were that they drank Trump’s Kool-aid and were pushing it on the public. They are now the Attorney General and US Attorney for the District of New Jersey, respectively.
Also, Musk is notoriously overconfident that he can learn anything better than experts. No doubt in my mind he’s decided how much ketamine and other drugs he “needs,” and has pliant doctors to agree.
TPM was known to be a DRM Trojan horse in 2004. Then everyone forgot about that fact.
Sure, pushing Linux is just a new angle, but don’t think for a second that TPM has any purpose other than making your own computer trust a cabal of corporations over you, the owner. And if there is a critical mass of TPM standardized hardware, such that a “trusted” environment is the standard, it will lock you out of major use cases on all “untrusted” systems, including Linux.
And that deserves a lot of outrage.
Tech execs when the shortage hits: I just had a brilliant idea! Let’s just give untrained junior vibe-coding engineers the power of senior engineers, and even more AI tools. Problem solved forever, bonus please!
Is this a thing? This seems like a very high learning curve.
The entire reason why there is a thriving global market for manga is that these off-books sites have existed for decades, and have raised a generation that treats manga as core culture. So they’re strangling their continued relevance in a blind enforcement frenzy.
The other big problem of publishers acting this way is that if we start buying more manga after this, the message publishers get is that this works, and to do it again and again. They’ve created an incentive for manga fans to therefore not buy more manga for now. Which is exactly the opposite incentive publishers wish for.
Oh, disagreeing with the post, huh? Looks like we found the AI troll, get 'em everyone!
The news, met with disbelief from patrons and staff, followed a closely watched visit by the US secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem, in March. Touring the library, Noem said “USA number one!” and then hopped over the black tape separating the two countries and said “51st state” when she landed in Canada. She repeated the joke – echoing Donald Trump’s recent fixation on annexing Canada – three times.
Most people get older but there’s never a magic moment they become “adults.” Many times people retain good qualities of childhood as they get older - curiosity, desire to play with others, a desire to learn. And many times they retain bad qualities of childhood - selfishness, lack of self-awareness, impulsiveness, impatience, tantrums.
This administration, led by Trump as the exemplar, is just a collection of people who got older but never stopped being children, in the worst ways. They have no self-awareness and just do whatever they feel like. Then they cloak it in the language of “adults,” lack the curiosity to investigate if they’re right, and throw a tantrum if someone tries to stop them.
This looks like Microsoft committed exactly one toe to testing the water.
