California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a statewide state of emergency as the state prepares for a potentially historic “super” El Niño.
The climate pattern can significantly alter weather and is expected to bring an increased risk of severe winter storms, flooding, landslides and coastal impacts to California.
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is hosting a statewide event today to donate food to those struggling with high-priced groceries:
“[Republicans are] paying $20,000 for entry to a Billionaire Ball (RNC) celebrating corrupt tariffs, billionaire tax breaks, and a new forever war that are all driving grocery costs through the roof, we’ll be doing something different.”

Flock cameras have no place in Texas.
They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there.
Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
not even kidding when i say this exact thought crosses my mind every single day which is why i’ve made it my personal mission to enjoy my life to the absolute fullest
The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.
