The only two people who vandalized the reflecting pool are these.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

The lies get even more elaborate. There’s 24 hour surveillance there. Release the tapes, show the vandals.

What’s bizarre about this is Trump’s favorability jn Italy is 7% and his unfavorability is 86%, so his claim Meloni wanted a photo with him to “get her numbers up” is 180 degrees wrong. Her fight with him helps her at home.

42 state attorneys general are investigating OpenAI over alleged harmful practices.

The tide has totally changed. Even the authorities have had enough.

AI should exist solely for the purpose of societal good.

If, as Dario Amodei says, there is a 25% chance of AI-driven extinction, then:

No evidence of direct societal benefit, no AI.

Authorities should not accept anything other than that.

A trail of destruction. Imagine their reaction if Obama had done even one of these things.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself.

And you paid for it. The total cost could be $1 billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

This person is delusional and bent.
A serious country doesn’t put this conspiracy addict and grifter as secretary of a book club let alone Secretary of Health & Human Services.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on the record in April of last year that autistic kids will never hold a job, attributing that and a long list of other absolutes to an entire population of children. His own cousins, Anthony and Timothy Shriver, publicly rebuked him for it, writing that people with autism can and do hold jobs, date, and pay taxes.

Now HHS is absorbing the federal office that actually runs special education programs for those same kids, through a set of interagency agreements that move the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act out of the Education Department entirely. It follows mass layoffs that gutted nearly the entire special education staff there first.

Education experts have warned this turns a legal right into a medical diagnosis, administered by a man who told the country what he thinks these children's futures already look like.

[Covie @covie_93]

So they're arresting people for taking a piece of the paint that's peeling off the Reflecting Pool while allowing the people who rape kids with jeffrey epstein to walk free?????

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

This woman did more to subvert democracy than any other single individual by shielding Trump after he still top secret docs and hid them from the FBI.

She will be a mere footnote in the history of this time, but an evil one.

In fact, he has not stopped criticizing France since he has arrived in a country he doesn’t know, the language of which he doesn’t speak and the culture and the history of which he doesn’t care.

“If you take the deal, you’re going to be exploited. If you don’t take it, you’re going to die,” said attorney Frank Ssekamwa about the U.S. demand to access the health data of millions of Ugandans. “It’s the essence of digital colonialism.”
