Listen, I ran for office as a Republican and I want everyone to know the Republican Party is not a serious party! VOTE for EVERY democrat on the ballot this year!

I'm going to say this again... After election night and should Dems take the Senate don't be shocked if wither Justice Thomas or Alito retire and Trump & the GOP try to force through another Supreme Court Justice in the lame duck session.

Congress was & still is unable to regulate social media because most still don't know how it works. I bet 95% of Congress doesn't understand how artificial intelligence works, so how the hell are they going to create policy on AI? I've been teaching AI for 10 years, reach out!

Yes, it's big news bout Collins, but the MUCH BIGGER news is that Trump stopped it. This begs to ask the question how many other corruption investigations into Republican's has Trump stopped? I'm sure there are others.

Congress hasn't & can't make a coherent policy on social media, it's been around for 20+ years. What makes anyone think they can quickly & competently make policy & laws on artificial intelligence? I've been teaching AI in my high school classes since 2016, we are so behind

This is a topic I've been teaching to my high school students since 2016. It makes me very sad but also frustrated that it's taken 10 years to actually have this discussion on a larger stage. What worries me? The people making decisions are not AI literate.

Remember when Iran wanted to screw with Jimmy Carter and not release the hostages until the moment he left office.... I bet Iran will keep this war going all the way until a Democrat becomes President on January 20, 2029. One last way for Iran to screw with Trump.

The fact that Trump has lied, many times, about his "involvement", even today, during 9-11 should disqualify him from being at any event remembering that tragic day. Rescind his invitations to ALL September 11th events NOW!

When I ran as a Republican in 2015 for the Virginia House of Delegates I wanted ALL voters to participate. I wanted ALL mail in ballots to be counted and processed. I wanted a fair election. It seems that my former party, the GOP, no longer wants these same things.

Republican leaders are set to announce Thursday that the final two weeks of the pre-election House session are canceled Members depart DC no later than Sept. 17 & not return until mid-November. The House will reconvene for one week of business after next week’s Labor Day break.

ALL CALL Re: AI and Education - Folks I've been teaching AI in my high school classes since 2016 and have been interviewed on PBS News Hour about AI in Education. I'm an expert in this area. If anyone wants to talk about AI and Education please reach out.

I can remember when Republicans would go ape shit if they didn't put Ronald Reagan at the tops of President lists... Trump doesn't even give Reagan the time of day in this post.

I meant to post this yesterday on Aug. 25th when America lost two legends on that date 9 years apart. Kennedy and McCain represented what was right about politics, yes they made mistakes but they always put America First.

Make every Republican own this. Vote them out in November. Trump did this and Republicans let it all happen. Trump and the GOP killed our economy and the fiscal future of America and American families.

I bet Trump won't give a damn about Hawaii in the aftermath of Hurricane La La and delay or deny FEMA funds. Hawaii is a blue state and he will treat it like he did Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.

Today I chose to give the gift of life by donating blood. Thank you to the people of Red Cross for all you do. We are at a critical 4-year low of blood supply. If you can please consider donating.

Here is a good way to save teachers time & prevent burn out: Eliminate this amount of online training every year. As a teacher I see it reasonable to do the training every 5 or 10 years, when renewing license. More will likely be added once I go in for teacher work week.

This is a big gift to Republicans... Mike Rogers is now the favorite to win this race. If the Senate ends in a 50/50 split, this will be the race that cost Democrats the majority.

I love how eloquently Wolf Blitzer explains that Trump didn't give a shit about someone who collapsed in the Oval Office #WHCD And by the look on his face, Trump still doesn't give a shit.

Today in Georgia Trump said he never heard about affordability until his first press conference as President and that Democrats made it up. I give you his speech the the RNC on Jul 19, 2024. Trump lies

Oil futures (such as WTI and Brent) trade electronically nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. The market officially opens for the week on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. ET... Get ready for Trump to make some sort of post around that time about Iran wanting to make a deal.
