Today my son said those words every elder millennial parent has long prepared themselves to hear:

“How do laws get made?”

I’ve been waiting for this moment since the day he was born. 🤣 #schoolhouserock #proudparent

ChatGPT helped plan a school shooting, according to a new lawsuit from the mom of a girl critically wounded in the attack.

Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her mother and 11-year-old half-brother, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School where she killed 5 students and a teacher’s aide, wounded two students, and shot herself.

ChatGPT provided “information, guidance and assistance” to carry out such an attack, according to the suit.

The lawsuit also says “approximately 12 employees” of OpenAI spoke up before the shooting and recommended that police be called.

It says the concerns were “escalated to leadership” but “rebuffed.”

Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment. Beautiful.

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.

Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.

We can and must stop this.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Public pressure works. It’s why Dem senators changed their votes on the DHS funding bill last night from yes to no (including Warner, who said last week he was voting yes).

It’s our job as citizens in a “democracy” to put pressure on both parties to do the right thing.

.@icegov YOU ARE COWARDS. You are all absolute, pathetic, untrained, unprofessional COWARDS. Todd Lyons and the rest of you not only need to be defunded, you need to be PROSECUTED.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

[Gabrielle Blair @designmom]

THIS. EXACTLY THIS.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

ICE has kidnapped Native Americans and put them in an actual concentration camp.

Three members of the Oglala Sioux tribe are being held at Fort Snelling.

ICE has no jurisdiction over Native Americans.

This should be much bigger news.

MARK WARNER, top dem on senate intel, with a scathing statement

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

The president and his family have made $4 BILLION on the ventures they've launched just since Trump's reelection.

That's a staggering cash grab. And it's not even close to normal. https://t.co/fhKwCnfcig

As your health care premiums double in cost, so is Trump’s ballroom budget.

He’s spending $400 million on his vanity project and doing nothing to lower costs for families.

You deserve better.

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

The Trump administration is planning to stop recommending most childhood vaccines. This is the Make America Sick Agenda. Children will die. RFK Jr. must resign.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

Take 45 seconds today to say "No way." https://t.co/dXGa0WKXUJ

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

As data centers pop up in every corner of the country, their electricity demands are spiking rates for everyone.

But why on Earth should you be covering the electricity bill of a billion-dollar tech giant?

This week, @SenWarren, @SenBlumenthal, & I are asking big tech just that.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for the next year will cost $23 billion.

Donald Trump was happy to round up $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but Republicans won’t lift a finger to help American families who are struggling to pay for health care.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump’s top priorities have included:

-Paving over the Rose Garden
-Putting gold leaf all over the Oval Office
-Demolishing the East Wing for a ballroom
-Building a giant Arch & naming it after himself

Notable exclusions: lowering the cost of housing, health care, or groceries.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

If your first reaction to someone having their legs run over by an ICE vehicle is “was he here illegally” then you’ve completely lost your moral compass

The same goes for asking what the “whole story” is

There’s nothing a person could do to justify running them over with a car.
