“New Jersey is also a model of smart, safe A.I. use: It has trained more than 14,000 employees to use A.I. tools to work more efficiently. Meanwhile, New York passed a law barring A.I. from replacing any part of a state employee’s job duties.” nytimes.com/2025/07/22/opi…
Started out reading this in David Byrne's voice
"We may be sitting down at a table, and we may find ourselves at a work stoppage at 12:01, December 1st of next year. [Players] are preparing for that, while hoping that is indeed not the case." From today's availability with Rob Manfred and Tony Clark: foxsports.com/stories/mlb/sa…

So we are doing the Modified Limited Hangout thing. How’d that work out last time? 🤔
President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
Actual footage of White House officials dealing with the Epstein files:
And in his 2008 book, "Never Give Up," he wrote, "Each year I donate an autographed doodle"
Trump told the WSJ that it was impossible he wrote a 2003 birthday message to Epstein, which featured a bawdy line drawing of a woman, because "I never wrote a picture in my life." This is a lie In 2005, Trump drew picture of the NYC skyline for a charity auction. It was…

Also, if you have any dirty laundry to air, now is the time to do it.
He doesn’t know what’s in the Epstein files, but he knows they are a hoax and written by Obama, Clinton and Biden.
Q: "Does [Trump] have an understanding of what is in the files related to Epstein that have not been released?" Leavitt: "Not to my knowledge. That's a question for the attorney general."

Stephen Miller: "What would LA look like without illegal aliens? You would be able to see a doctor in the ER right away, no wait time, no problem. You kids would go to a public school that had more money than they know what to do with. Classrooms would be half the size."
So WE have to pay a 50% tax on coffee, which we can’t grow here, because Trump wants to be involved in Brazilian politics. This is literally the OPPOSITE OF AMERICA FIRST.

More than 75,000 adults and children are now estimated to have died because of the effective shutdown of PEPFAR that began less than six months ago. A program Bush 43 started that evangelicals once supported and now have turned their backs on. By @Peter_Wehner
My co-host @ScotBertram already posted this earlier this morning, but this is one the most devastatingly funny second-for-second deconstructions of everything I utterly loathe about modern "country" music. You absolutely must click - and watch, too. youtube.com/watch?v=CORANv…
Meta’s former director of global energy talks about how batteries are more reliable than diesel generators as backup for data centers. But because of the way data centers are built today, adding batteries as backup requires a substantial overhaul in build.open.substack.com/pub/davidrober…
My father’s name was Pete Heinrich. This is his flag. It occupies a place of honor in my home. When I look at it this Independence Day, I think of his story. He was an immigrant. He came to this country as a boy to escape the violent populism and virulent anti-intellectualism…
