If Thune is willing to negotiate ACA after gov’t opens, why not just do it now. I don’t trust GOP. Truth is not a tool in their kit.

I have worked in high tech since the 1970s. Many powerful and valuable innovations have come and gone with more coming, yet, its demands are out of proportion to the value it claims. I resent the demand to continually change how we do what we do just to accommodate what has become High Yech!

Trump and the Presidency That Wouldn’t Shut Up His posts and rants are omnipresent, ugly, and unhinged. Don’t look to history to make it make sense.

On social media, Donald Trump riffs, cusses, dodges, weaves, raises money, and spreads lies. β€œHe is the world’s most outspoken troll, and its most dangerous,” Jill Lepore writes.

A.I. chatbots are notorious for making things up, and their faulty medical advice has also caused real harm.

These risks underscore the need for caution and critical thinking- something in short supply these days.

Let's not forget the bail out to Argentina and inflation and unemployment on the rise. Nothing this administration does is meant to improve the lives of non-billionaires while they continue move to steal elections with gerrymander rules in next week's election. VOTE!!

Of course he did. Completely predictable. More and more I think Trump is a puppet for a few playing to his fear and big ego. He’d never admit tat in a thousand years.

The 2nd and 3rd PMs of Israel were Ukrainians. Golda Mier was born in Kyviv. Maybe now Netanyahu is supposedly done bombing Gazans, we can send some of the US Aid to Israel to Ukraine.
