This year, the Michigan Senate passed legislation to restrict AI companies from training on data from children.

This bill as written would void that effort.

Smart AI regulation is essential and urgent. Broad preemption is a nonstarter.

I genuinely have no idea what Haley Stevens is actually trying to say in any of her answers. Extremely platitude heavy. Unclear if they are set pieces or off the cuff, which is not a good sign.

So far this is the McMorrow and El-Sayed show #MIsen

[Hannah Lindow @hannahlindow]

.@TheEconomist capturing the state of play in this race perfectly:

Mallory visited a “state-backed industrial project.”

Abdul went to a “left-wing coffee shop.”

Haley Stevens “did not respond to our inquiries, but as far as can be ascertained, she did nothing at all."

🚨 BREAKING: IATSE is condemning management of the Kennedy Center, alleging the Center is violating its union contract and laying off workers without meeting its legal obligation to bargain.

During bargaining last week, the Kennedy Center confirmed it has laid off or terminated all workers in its Instant Charge and Group Sales and Subscription departments, effective April 27, more than two months before the temporary closure begins. Management also confirmed it will not replace the work.

“This is not a normal closure-related layoff,” said International President Matthew D. Loeb. “The Kennedy Center appears to be using a temporary closure as cover to permanently eliminate union jobs in violation of its contract and federal labor law.”

These fucking grifters will look us dead in the eye and say the single mother on food stamps is a moocher and the immigrant down the road is stealing welfare money, and then spend billions on lobster dinners. They are horrific fucking liars and thieves. They need to pay back what they STOLE from taxpayers

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The cost of the war against Iran is already well over $10 billion for US taxpayers.

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?

Noem: I don’t know.

Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.

You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

People are losing their lives as others await the same fate, but at least we get to keep making this stupid joke a few more hundred times

I joined a soccer team at 31, after not playing for over 13 years. Apart from my close relationships, it is now the greatest source of joy in my life. I urge everyone to remember what they once loved and return to it……

Okay so,

1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution

2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents

3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen

4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement

You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

I mean. Biden and the Dems literally bailed out their pension, which was the top legislative priority for the Teamsters

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.

As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.

It's great to have him on the team.

Now let’s get to work. Join us:

Teamsters prez Sean O'Brien now both-sides'ing Ds and R's: “There are far too many people on both sides of the aisle still caught up in knee jerk reactions to unions.”

The Senate's bailout of the Teamsters' Central States pension fund was a party-line vote.
