Ossoff: "Mike Collins should explain his votes for the war, tariffs, and healthcare cuts, and he should come out and explain this morning's CNN report. If Mike Collins does not come out today and respond to this CNN reporting, then he is a coward." Here's the report: www.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p...

Meta's suspension of No Kings account was a complete failure. Early voting was up 51% in ZIP codes with a No Kings event compared to 2022. October 17 marked a historic milestone for voter turnout despite attempts to suppress this action.

Women trust AI less than men—but no one’s asking them. Men are disproportionately likely to be approached as AI experts, Harvard researchers found.

David Robinson, who worked on OpenAI’s safety team, resigned from the company this week. “I believe we need to look deeper than specific rules or new laws. We need to talk about culture,” he writes:
