Trump on His Presidential Library: He’ll Write His Own History. This will be the first library created to teach ignorance. https://t.co/7RVh9xB3yN

Trump’s Corruption is Unprecedented - Trump is now clearly acting purely for his own selfish interest. Voters see it, the courts see it, and even congressional Republicans are beginning to question Trump’s leadership. https://t.co/sANbt8oXda https://t.co/6TRj4A7eYl

Even the little things are corrupt in the Trump administration. Cabbies in India are paid $16 for displaying Trump signs celebrating the 4th of July but nothing for posters that feature the Statue of Liberty rather than Trump in celebration. https://t.co/4Y74RyuhjC

Amidst insider trading scandals -- of which I filed a formal complaint -- the CFTC has collapsed, at the bequest of Trump. I have received no feedback from my complaint, and now I suspect I never will -- until Trump Republicans are ousted. https://t.co/xuuU518WHt

This is interesting. I hope something pans out. Vema Hydrogen has drilled test wells into the bedrock and inject treated water into the iron-rich rocks. The goal is to trigger a chemical reaction that could eventually produce large quantities of hydrogen.

Talk about dumbos: Trump revealed the insult that made him take a cognitive test to silence critics. “They hit me with a bad one: He’s a dumb person. D-U-M, not the B,” Trump told the crowd. “Most people don’t know it has a B.”

It is hard to imagine that any previous president would have thought he could engage in such an audacious act of self-dealing. Sue the government he runs, then settle the lawsuit with himself, then bar the IRS from auditing his past returns.

In protest of the DOJ being transformed into a political slush fund for Trump, some former employees posted this light show over Trump's enormous picture of himself on the outside building of the Department. https://t.co/VmXpir84m3

The greatest heist in American history by a president of the United States. Billions of dollars out of your pocket directly into Trump's. This by far beats every other grifting self-enrichment tactic by Trump. https://t.co/skdRQf46Lp via @YouTube

State authorities disclosed that ChatGPT gave information to the shooter about what time and location would maximize victims on campus, as well as the type of gun and ammunition to use. https://t.co/tL6DXQqhtI

The pool is the latest of Trump’s doling out government contracts to friends, family and himself. The renovation plans exemplify how Mr. Trump views much of the nation’s capital as his imperial realm — to decorate, or even destroy, as he sees fit.

States across the country have passed laws that protect people from deepfakes and other abuses using AI technology, but the Trump administration's narrow focus on federal preemption of any existing or future state AI laws threatens these protections.

@Public_Citizen's @CBHolman explains the threat to states' progress:

A Look Inside the Case That Enshrined Political Power for Billionaires. After Watergate, Congress tried to curtail the role of money in politics. But a pivotal Supreme Court case nipped it in the bud. https://t.co/1qBEu1YqAl

psyched to see CAP, Public Knowledge, AFL-CIO, Public Citizen, and Leadership Conference speaking in a unified voice:

sweeping state ai law preemption is not a substitute for serious ai governance.
