AI data centers are sucking up water and power.
Industry PACs are spending millions to buy our elections.
And AI is already being used to facilitate online scams, deny insurance claims, and price-gouge consumers.
Sam Altman's response?
We should "accept some bad things happening."

Republicans are members of a criminal organization. They do crime not policy. Stop electing them is the only action to be taken.

Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous — if not treasonous — putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.

To save himself, Nixon discarded his Staff, even the highest ranking, one by one,
like chum for the sharks
The Watergate investigation led to the Convictions of
40+ members of Nixon's Govt, who were incarcerated for varying periods
In the name of 'healing a divided Country'
Nixon was pardoned

MUST WATCH: An Iowa mom at risk of cancer showed up looking for Ashley Hinson. Hinson hid instead of facing her. Then she keeps taking campaign money from Bayer and Corteva while voting to weaken clean-water oversight. Iowa families deserve better than cowardice.

During a sworn deposition on Monday, Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) declined to answer repeated questions from one of his ex-wife’s lawyers about whether he pushed a girl down a staircase during high school.
In a sworn deposition, Rep. Max Miller was silent on staircase assault allegation
"If the incident never occurred, why are you afraid of answering the question?" asked his ex-wife's lawyer.
