🚨 NOT A DRILL: AI Job Apocalypse

People are literally training AI to take their own jobs.

It might be too late for a lot of us, but if you’re a student or a parent, this is a must-share and a reason to rethink taking on student debt in a field that may be taken over by artificial intelligence.

House Republicans shut down the government and haven't shown up to work for WEEKS. Why?

Because they'll do anything to cut taxes for their billionaire donors—even if it means higher health care costs for you.

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and instead of doing anything about it, Republicans are throwing fuel on the fire! ⚕️🔥 🩺

They've slashed Medicaid & Medicare hurting kids, veterans, the disabled & seniors

They've erased prescription drug caps

And they refuse to fund Affordable Care

Toxic Wastewater From Oil Fields Keeps Pouring Out of the Ground. Oklahoma Regulators Failed to Stop It.

Experts warn of a pollution crisis spreading underground and threatening Oklahoma’s drinking water.

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Oregon, Washington sue Trump administration to fund SNAP during shutdown The states are among many that are going to court to force the federal government to use emergency reserve money to prop up the federal food assistance program.

Congress created a contingency fund for SNAP to keep food assistance funded during a government shutdown. But now the Trump Administration has deleted information about it from the USDA website and is refusing to release the funds. That’s a choice, and it’s outrageous.

Trump’s speech yesterday to American troops — seeking to justify the use of lethal force against anyone suspected of acting illegally, domestic or foreign — is his clearest statement yet about what’s really motivating him. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-just-announced-his-police-state

Callers to Social Security wait for hours to get help. Hear their ordeals. Millions of seniors and disabled people call Social Security’s 1-800 number every month. What they experience is often maddening.

Hours-long wait times. Endless looping music. Useless robot messages.

Dodged duty five times, mocks those who serve, then claims he’d love to have their job?

The irony could salute itself.

Exclusive: US military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission, sources say U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

You would think Speaker Johnson would know what's going on...

He knows nothing about anything according to his lame responses.

What a pathetic little liar.

I understand it: The Pentagon is run by a man who clearly has had many people around him signing NDAs over time.

Lawyers allege cover-up after fed shoots at man during D.C. traffic stop Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

Both my mother and I worked full-time at Walmart while I was in high school during COVID. We were also on Medicaid and SNAP because they didn't pay enough.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Ellis asks whether it would be appropriate for a man who gets out of his car in running clothes after training for a marathon and asks agents what they are doing to be placed in a chokehold.

That's what videos show happened Saturday in Old Irving Park.

Ellis orders Border Patrol to submit, under seal, all of the use of force incidents in Chicago by the end of the day.

She also wants all of the body-worn camera footage.

Bovino says the "sheer volume" of the reports makes that impossible.

Chart showing that in Dauphin County, PA, the jail's Inmate Welfare Fund was spent on bodycams, gun range memberships, and fitness trackers for officers, among other things.

Does spending thousands on gun range memberships or fitness trackers for jail staff really sound like it benefits the “general welfare” of incarcerated people?

Prisons & jails across the US are abusing “inmate welfare funds” – and getting away with it:

I've watched formerly reasonable people devolve into the worst creatures I have ever seen.

“.. If a court comes to that conclusion, and also determines that Halligan acted alone in securing the indictments of Comey and James, those indictments “become invalid because she didn't have lawful authority” to bring them, Berry said.

“Everything is based on merit”

SecDef - a Fox News host
HHS Director - a conspiracy loon
Secretary of Education - a WWE executive
DNI - Russian asset
First Lady - Epstein visa holder
New ICE recruits - white nationalists
…

It’s a neverending stream of “merit”

Trump to troops in Japan: "I don't like good looking people. I never liked good looking people. I'll be honest with you. I've never admitted that before. But see I'm allowed to -- we won at the Supreme Court a thing based on merit. You know about that, right?"

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.
