Trump’s “fake news” is like Biden’s “misinformation.”
In either case, the government can’t suppress it without gutting the First Amendment.
Free speech includes the freedom to say false things about public policy.
If the First Amendment doesn’t broadly protect lies, it can’t protect truths that officials call lies.
Very good point. If the FBI had stopped 1,100 terror attacks where are the indictments???
The WH would be parading all of them around.
But no indictments and no evidence of 1,100 foiled terrorists.
This is lunacy. If he builds it, it should be torn down by the next administration. Stop transforming America into a dystopian police and surveillance state.
We're now approaching seven months of a war that should never have been started, by a President who was elected on "no new wars."
Seven months of 'deadlines' and 'red lines' and 'big decisions' about committing war crimes.
Seven months of being told that Iran is "begging for a deal" and has been "destroyed."
None of this has been cost-free for America. The costs are already crippling. And with each day that gets tacked onto this war, the costs head towards devastation.
Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:
Trump does this stupid stunt of kicking out the media from the White House on the same day that ... @RoKhanna and @RepThomasMassie announced they have enough votes to demand the release of the second set of Epstein Files.
Why are we canceling session when there’s so much important work to be done? It’s because they want to avoid voting on my Epstein legislation and the impeachment of Hegseth.
I claimed an hour of time to speak about this and a few of my accomplishments in Congress.
Massie explains how some votes are rigged in congress to allow members in vulnerable districts vote against bills that already have enough votes to pass.
I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.
But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.
I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.
I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.
But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.
Trump faked y’all out yesterday. He didn’t implement Country of Origin Labeling for Beef.
He signed an EO to commission a study that will report back after the election and after we’ve imported 300,000 tons of foreign beef.
I’m the only R who’s actually voted to keep MCOOL.
