The people we send to Congress are supposed to fight for us. Instead, they have ripped health care away from thousands of Idahoans and caused premiums to skyrocket for thousands of other families.

IT’S OFFICIAL: Terri Pickens has won the Democratic primary for Governor of Idaho.

On to November!

[Idaho Democratic Party @IdahoDems]

Idaho is ready for change. Kaylee Peterson has won the Democratic primary for Congressional District 1.

Now, let’s bring this home in November.

[Idaho Democratic Party @IdahoDems]

The Idaho we know is worth fighting for.

[Idaho Democratic Party @IdahoDems]

Idaho belongs to the people who live here, not billionaire insiders looking for their next land deal.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

The Strait of Hormuz was open and not controlled by Iran before Trump launched his war against Iran.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Weird. It's almost as if COVID antivaccine conspiracy people are lying liars.

BREAKING:

Mitch McConnell just slammed the Trump slush fund:

"So the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick."

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

People are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent, affording groceries and paying for gas, not about putting together a $1.8 billion fund for the President and his allies to pay whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability. This is adding to our national debt. If there needs to be a settlement, the administration should bring it to Congress to decide.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

I’m sorry, that’s absurd. By virtually every measure he’s less disciplined and more erratic.

NYT confirms — with new details:

Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona.

One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying." https://t.co/wuBwyvxaXY

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Kash Patel has four FBI SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his country singer girlfriend around Nashville.

He brought her to a closed-door fentanyl meeting where families of overdose victims gave testimony.

A former senior official estimated the detail costs taxpayers $1 million a year. Before overtime.

The SWAT team has accompanied her to singing gigs. To a hair appointment.

When an FBI official recommended a threat assessment to determine if the detail was even necessary, Patel berated him. He said his authority alone was enough.

The same week, a New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter.

The Department of Justice shut it down and called it retaliation.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution.

And so today I’m a Democrat.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

I’m old enough to remember when these idiots screamed “impeachment!!” because Biden let a Chinese weather balloon fly over our country for a minute.

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

They’re literally helping Russia on purpose

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.

What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.

Truly a golden age.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

17 US intelligence agencies found that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election. The US government had a duty to investigate it. Trying to spin the probe as a grand conspiracy is itself the grand conspiracy.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Trump claimed that Putin agreed to a prison swap in return for Zelenskyy agreeing to a ceasefire so Putin could hold his parade in peace. Now it looks like Putin reneged on the deal. Will Trump respond? Or just rollover again?

[Katie Bergh @Katie_Bergh]

President Trump signed the deepest SNAP cuts in history into law last July. Now, people are losing food assistance at the fastest rate in almost 30 years because of harmful policy changes, not because they don't need help affording groceries.

And she calls that "good news."

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court.

In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible.

We won. 6-3.

But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow.

I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves.

I also had four teachers preparing me.
A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi.
An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else.
A meditation coach who taught me stillness.
And Harvey.

Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable.

Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person.

Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written.

Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium.

AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument.

Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry.

That is the irreducibly human skill.
Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.

The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: https://t.co/wLxKtBsHpF

What's the irreducibly human skill in your work — the thing AI can't touch?
