How many deaths should an AI model be allowed to risk before the government can intervene? Under draft legislation circulated by Anthropic, the threshold would be more than 50 projected deaths or $1 billion in damages. Read the full story: www.levernews.com/ai-leader-wa...

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994 giving security assurances to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and borders in exchange for surrendering 1,900 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantling. The U.S. pledged to seek United Nations action if Ukraine became the victim of aggression.

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. 
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

This is happening a lot. Over and over, even though protesters know they’re among violent goons. I think this is significant, when the people sense the “strong man” is weak. 🤔

ICE is refusing to return personal items to people who've been released, including driver's licenses and passports, proof of immigration status, employment authorization documents, cell phones, wedding rings, cash, and more. This is illegal. The ACLU of DC and ACLU of Illinois are suing.

Donald Trump's Justice Department has shown it doesn't care about the civil rights of Americans. This November, we are prepared to go to court if the Justice Department oversteps its authority or interferes with our elections.

I'm sorry but the key priority for the next US SecDef has to be extracting Elon Musk from every single thing related to US military contracting. No Musk company should receive any government contract of any kind from any Dem executive.

New speed limits on Starlink terminals, operated by billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX, disrupted drone attacks over Russian-occupied Ukraine, Ukrainian officials and military units said.

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

thedailybeast.comThe U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in WarsThe billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

Sascha Riley’s description of how Trump raped him as a boy makes your skin crawl in disgust. Our hero veteran is telling the truth. The Epstein files & Zorro Ranch would prove that. In a decent America, Trump would be dragged out of the White House, handcuffed & shackled.

Every Democrat should shout this from the damn rooftops. Musk specifically is unpopular, and voters generally don't like the idea of rich people buying the government. There's no downside to branding Musk as a greedy prick who is corrupting democracy for his own gain. It's the truth!
