Our country does need strong and smart leaders to address the threats posed by AI.
Donald Trump, however, is neither of those things.
Illinois stepped up and passed a nation-leading AI law. Congress must follow and act NOW.

According to The Wall Street Journal, “AI development is moving ahead at blazing speed—much faster than expected—feeding a growing sense of dread within the companies that it was in danger of spinning out of control.”
If researchers who created AI are worried, I’d say we’re all f**ked.

JD Vance knows better than to sell yet another false promise to the millions of Americans hurting in this unaffordable Trump economy.

This man delivers a no-bullshit takedown of Trump and his MAGA supporters, no fucks given.
We should all be this mouthy and vocal. And I love his hat.

Can anyone tell me why the American people are so paralyzed, impotent, or just stupid? Who doesn't understand our government is a crime syndicate? Who doesn't understand the law is dead? Who doesn't understand fascism is here and it's going to get worse? The American people are flaccid. Why?

The most infuriating thing about the Kushner/Hasan 1-2 is that it makes obvious the fact that Jeffries doesn't believe that Trump and Republicans represent a grave threat that requires our immediate and undivided focus, despite that being an essentially unanimous belief among his party's voters.
I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

An on point quick summary:
“Tommy Vietor, a former Obama aide and co-host of Pod Save America, criticized Kushner, noting that he had “no actual government job” and claiming he “just uses his family connections to get money from Gulf autocrats and fund corrupt deals”.”

Past time for a new Democratic Speaker. Hakeem Jeffries should know by now that Trump doesn’t want to work with any Democrats.

Morning show anchors are seriously prepped for interviews with background info & a list of questions to ask. There is zero linking FL Sen nominee Angie Nixon to Piker. ZERO. This wasn’t a mistake, it was on purpose. Don’t forget who Gayle’s boss is- Bari Weiss. Her ‘free press’ is obsessed w/ Piker.
Mainstream media is so unhinged. Gayle King accuses Angie Nixon of campaigning with Hasan Piker, which she did not do, and then instead of just moving on King grills Nixon about her ~hypothetically~ campaigning with Piker.

Jon Ossoff nailed it.
Cruel. Arrogant. And dangerously incompetent.
America deserves leaders who actually give a damn about the people they serve.
