Congress is not serious.

We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…

BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.

Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,

but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.

This isn't for targeted policing.

It's the infrastructure for mass surveillance.

@loyalmoses Unfortunately, this happens all the time.

Axon is always waiting.

Make elected officials know that this is not a company problem.

It's a violation of our rights problem.

Our lives should not come with a search bar.

American prisons increasingly resemble high-security nursing homes, equipped with hospital beds, mobility aids and facilities for chronic and end-of-life care.

In his latest video, @LoganSeacrest explains how medical and geriatric parole can safely release people who no longer pose a significant threat while focusing correctional resources where they can do more to protect the public.

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

🚨 TOMORROW AT 2 P.M. ET 🚨

Geofence warrants allow law enforcement to identify people based on where their phones have been. But how broad is too broad?

Watch @LoganSeacrest explain the stakes, then join us for a conversation on Chatrie v. United States, digital privacy, AI, and constitutional protections.

Here’s my @RSI quick response to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s ban on new large data center projects. I explain how it will potentially result in lost investment, fewer jobs, diminished tax revenues, and potentially forgone life-saving innovations.

I'm not anti Flock because I'm pro criminal.

I'm anti Flock because I'm pro 4th Amendment.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The problem isn’t that our Constitution is lacking; the problem is that the people chosen to uphold it are lacking.

These are desperate times, but a Convention to modify the Constitution is a desperate measure that absolves those responsible for our decline.

You've probably heard the theory that em dashes mean someone has used AI.
AP Stylebook Editor Anna Jo Bratton disagrees in a blog post that acknowledges it would be helpful to have a clear and obvious tell when AI is the author. She writes: Unfortunately, that tell is not the em dash, which has been around for many years. In fact, they are so ubiquitous in AP lingo, we just call them dashes.

“Natural” and “synthetic” are useful descriptors, but they are not good shortcuts for safe and dangerous.

A substance’s risk depends far more on dose, route of administration, chemical structure, and how it interacts with the body.
