I love James Talarico exponentially more every day. Dude is genuinely ‘Mr Smith Goes to Washington’ and what the founders envisioned our politicians to be in the most high-idealistic sense. Win or lose, may he touch our collective hearts and transform this country’s politics.

genuinely don't think i've ever seen an answer from a candidate in a hard fought race quite like this.
Wow. In unreleased Diary of a CEO interview, @JamesTalarico says “Ken Paxton is a child of god.”

The Kremlin has spent years courting Donald Trump. Now they're seeing the payoff.
The United States of America is now helping Putin in his war against Ukraine.
I find that tragic.

Lots of debate this week on whether journals should ban AI in peer review.
We actually tested this in our new preprint, and the results were pretty clear to me.
For context, I've reviewed for most of the big journals and evaluated 1,000 human reviews as an editor. I love to read and evaluate science.
TLDR: From now on I won't do any peer review without AI. For clinical trials, I'd even call human-only review dangerous 🧵

NEWS: Trump admin officials want US companies to accept the Russian diesel currently crossing the Atlantic.
But American firms want nothing to do with it. They’re very scared of the legal and reputational risk, industry sources tell me and @jstein_sun

Freedom to speak. Freedom to vote. Freedom to live. These basic liberties were blatantly violated by irresponsible and self-centered tech billionaires this month.

Trump's closing argument:
- We must urgently renovate the East Potomac Golf Course and protect my staff from flying balls
- How dare you make fun of my relaxing White House arts and crafts
- Who cares about high gas prices we're making a ton of money
Trump: "Golf balls soar through the holes at high speed and hit unexpecting Golfers—including a White House staffer who was, sadly, hit violently in the chest ... The driving range should NOT be a threat to life and limb. The current condition of the golf course is a National Disgrace, but we will make it a WORLD CLASS PUBLIC Golf Course"

Fire another highly decorated general—this one with six Bronze Stars who oversees major military operational planning.
Prepare to restart a war with no clear objective or strategy.
Rinse. Repeat.

U.S. District Court Judge Carter with a mic drop. 👀
Judge David Carter: "Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional election procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too."
