We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
Hasan Piker: “Trump is God for MAGA which is the entirety of the Republican party. He is no longer just a political figure. He is a deity. You have to look at current modern day Republican voters as a cult. That’s it”

70% of Americans think AI is moving too fast.
77% think entire industries will be eliminated.
97% say AI safety should be subject to rules.
Maybe, just maybe, it’s time Congress listened to the American people — not just the billionaires pushing it — and regulated AI.
PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender.
AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living.
I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”
I will never understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.
Israel slaughtered another journalist in Lebanon today. If you live in America, you pay these monsters to carry out terror in multiple countries. Congratulations.
When one tiny group of people have all the money - the game of monopoly is over. Tax the rich. Circulate the money. Or the game ends. And it's not pretty.
