Two deep observations from working with advanced agentic AI (Claude Code so far):

1. Working with a competent coworker helps me feel more competent. (We're both already strong, but it grows.)

2. I find and hear my own voice more clearly with a coworker who listens to and helps to amplify my voice.

"Whatever we call it—Jim Crow 2.0, the John Roberts Jim Crow Era, or the John Crow Era—no person in America is more responsible for the return to the Jim Crow Era than John Roberts. The resurrection of the post-Civil War Jim Crow brand of racism is the crowning achievement of John Roberts’ life work" (continued in /9)

If you can't play hardball, resign. Immediately.

Apparently the democrats who want to fold are Shaheen, Hassan, King and Fetterman.
