@billmaher Love Bill Maher’s OpEds. He’s very wrong on this one, though even it is still fun.

Artificial Intelligence is built on the creative work of millions of writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary people. That work has been stolen by Big Tech oligarchs.

Now's the time to reclaim it and ensure AI works for ALL, not just the few.

Breaking news: Donald Trump’s pick for Acting DNI, Bill Pulte, is dangerously unqualified for the role.

This move threatens the independence of our intelligence community and the safety of all Americans.

There are 12 chapters in Laurence Rees’s book “The Nazi Mind” people should know:

Spreading conspiracy theories, using us versus them, leading as a hero, corrupting youth, conniving with the elite, attacking human rights, exploiting faith, valuing enemies, eliminating resistance, escalating racism, killing at a distance, stoking fear.

When I use the word fascism I’m not being hyperbolic.

I’m grounding it in a historical analysis of what leaders do when they want to be authoritarian.

We didn’t even get to the naming. He wants his name on the US dollar, inside the passport, and his face on everything the American people touch when they interact with their own government.

Washington wouldn’t have done that. Eisenhower wouldn’t have done that. Reagan wouldn’t. Obama certainly didn’t.

Multibillionaire Ken Griffin just gave $2,500,000 to Susan Collins’s super PAC (after she voted four times to cut his taxes).

I look forward to raising Ken Griffin’s taxes, and banning him, and all billionaires, from buying elections.

If this kind of video is already circulating in May, the campaign ads heading into November are going to be absolutely brutal.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Democrats recent autopsy report just told us exactly how toothless they were in the fight against Trump. It's time to rethink their tactics before November.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:

There really is no limit to Trump’s incompetence driven by his corruption in office. This is YOUR money he’s flushing down the toilet.

Thanks to David Fahrenthold from the New York Times for his reporting

BOLTON: Trump's analysis of Ukraine is not what’s in America’s security interest, it’s about personal grievance. Putin plays on that in belittling Zelenskyy. He passes Russian propaganda to Witkoff, who passes it to Trump, who says it publicly. Putin exploits Trump’s weaknesses.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Democrats need to talk about climate change. Loud.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

They’re used to false facts. How about Citizens United’s “no need to worry about corruption, all the political money we just released is going to be transparent: you’ll know who the donors are”?

There's an obvious reason why the Republican Supreme Court Justices sound so nervous. During their confirmation hearings, these justices sat under oath and promised that Roe v. Wade was settled law. They lied. They told us they were independent. Then they quietly accepted luxury mega-yacht vacations from right-wing billionaires, flew insurrectionist flags outside their homes, and used shadow dockets to dismantle decades of worker and environmental protections.
Now, trying to persuade the public that a Republican-controlled Court issuing Republican-friendly decisions is not a Republican body has never been more difficult.
Now that their public approval has cratered, they are showing up to fancy think tanks to complain that Americans are being unfair to them. They are desperately demanding to be treated like impartial umpires who simply call balls and strikes.
But, ultimately, you do not get to strip away the bodily autonomy of millions of women, pocket millions in undisclosed gifts from conservative mega-donors, and then cry about a lack of respect.
