I need an AI that sits across all of my AIs and helps me remember what I used AI for and proactively reminds me what is useful and what I need to follow up on.

@Nexuscontent1 @clairevo There might be an opportunity here to help those who truly cook, have things to show, but just need the help to make it public, in a compelling (and consistent) way.

[Leonard Chen @leonardchen721]

Preach.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Alex Pretti died as he lived — protecting his neighbors.

Not hiding behind a mask.
Not shooting a man in the back.
Not lying to cover it up.

In a country run by cowards, be like Alex Pretti.

Is there even a single Republican colleague you can reason with who will stand up?

[Judy Chu @RepJudyChu]

Another person in Minnesota shot dead by Trump’s ICE agents. The President is using militarized, untrained, unaccountable forces to terrorize Americans.

What more do Republicans in Congress need to see to finally put a stop to this?

Senators must vote against sending even more money, with no guardrails, to this out of control agency next week.

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

New video shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.

[Leonard Chen @leonardchen721]

Can you speak to your former Republican colleagues? Are there any in Congress or in Governor's mansions across this nation with any spine?

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

What’s happening in Minnesota is waking up the whole country. People don’t see justice or fairness, and doubling down isn’t going to work. It’s tearing the country apart.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

I am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response.

We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states.

[Leonard Chen @leonardchen721]

A rare Silicon Valley leader willing to speak up these days.

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

This is absolutely shameful. Agents of a federal agency unnecessarily escalating, and then executing a defenseless citizen whose offense appears to be using his cell phone camera. Every person regardless of political affiliation should be denouncing this.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Presidents Bush and Obama should make a joint visit to military cemeteries in the UK, Canada, France, Poland, Denmark, etc to say "the America you remember remembers your friendship and sacrifice."

[Leonard Chen @leonardchen721]

My feed is alternating between Minneapolis and “Claude Code” is amazing.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @JDVance: As a congressional democrat, I will answer your question.

The reason investigations are conducted before reflexively making a judgement is because no one knows all the facts in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy. You unfortunately have already concluded, without all the evidence, that the victim was a deranged leftist trying to run the officer over, and that the officer was defending himself.

New evidence, however, suggests the victim was a U.S. citizen, a mother of three, a Christian and had recently dropped her child off at school.

Additional video footage also suggests the second and third shots fired by the officer occurred when the officer was to the side of the vehicle as the car was driving away. Under the law each firing of the gun is analyzed separately.

Witness testimony also suggests one of the ICE agents told the driver to MOVE, MOVE, MOVE. The driver may have been trying to comply with potentially conflicting instructions from different agents. Slow motion video from various angles also shows the vehicle appears to have been turning when the officer fired the first shot, and certainly that was the case by the second and third shots.

Your reflexive never admit wrong approach is not only based on zero investigations, it also leads to increased risks to federal officers. The American people will get increasingly agitated and angry if they believe the Trump Administration will never hold anyone accountable ever.

If you want to bring down the temperature, if you want to reduce the risks of violence against federal officers, then you need the American people to believe that you and the Administration will make decisions based on facts and will comply with the rule of law.

It is also highly suspicious that the Administration is refusing to cooperate with local and state officials as they conduct their investigations. There is no reason to make the American people think there is some sort of coverup. Allow all the investigations to be conducted fairly and with transparency.

So I respectfully request that you and the Administration stop pre-judging this case, and stop making incendiary or smear the victim comments that appear to be contradicted by additional new evidence. I also request that the federal officials cooperate with all the state and local officials. That is the American way, and will help calm the situation down.
