The unceremonious disbanding of DOGE (which, among other things, aimed to remake the government with AI) is a good time to revisit our policy brief rebutting the myth that AI can or will deliver efficiency for the public. www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

They also removed text saying β€œVaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

A nursing-home exec who defrauded the government of $38M paid MAGA lobbyists $1M to seek a Trump pardonβ€”and Trump granted it.

While Americans struggle to afford their bills, Trump is focused on protecting his rich allies that have profited off the backs of everyday people.

The entourage of LEAR supporters are in the hallway claiming they can arrest people without the sheriff right now. This includes defendants.

No seats left at the criminal hearing for the town hall this morning. The KCRCC showed up for this one.

Today we’ll be hearing a motion to dismiss from the defendants (LEAR security guards). The judge has also handed out jury instructions in the event that the case moves forward. #idpol

Thanks to Trump, CISA - the federal agency charged with protecting U.S. elections - is in turmoil.

Massive cuts to staff, budget, and leadership leave states that have relied on CISA since 2018 exposed - right as we approach the crucial 2026 midterms.

No one is safe under this regime. Trump & Republicans have empowered a rogue force to abduct & detain anyone they choose with no due process...even violating judges' rights!

Even high school kids!

Media literacy is down, so to be clear, when the WSJ writes β€œUltimately, the fact pattern Meta relies on to meet its conflicting objectives strains credibility” about your accounting practices and runs an accompanying flowchart, that is the equivalent of a 500-foot neon sign reading β€œFRAUD”
