Oh c'mon. There has to be someone else.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

I have a 14 year old who is willing to explain these things to her confused middle aged mom. Periodically I'll use one in a sentence just to get an eye roll out of her. Her Algebra teacher is very done with 6 7.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I want the entire nation to hear me when I say this isn’t just an attack on the people of LA, this is an attack on every person in every city in this country.

Today’s ruling is not only dangerous – it’s un-American and threatens the fabric of personal freedom in the U.S.

I can't believe that nobody is talking about the optics of a bunch of mostly white, mostly male Republicans locking this woman up and refusing her freedom to walk out the door without a police escort to make sure she complies.

Expanding the PACT Act to include all military bases that had toxic exposures should be a priority. Like Fort Ord, that was/is a Superfund site.

Augh!!!

My question is, did they give her the originals, or did someone have enough sense to keep a copy?

Please Shout Fire. This Theater Is Burning The United States is being destroyed from within, and mainstream journalism isn't making that clear. When I was a kid, there was a popular phrase--"what if they had a war and no one came?" What if we ...

It's when you assemble the whole picture that you have to raise the question if the intention is to destroy this country and whether this country is in fact being destroyed.

My full statement following the ICE Raid in Carpinteria. ⬇️

I went to Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria today after learning ICE was conducting a militarized raid targeting farm workers. As a Member of Congress, I have the right to conduct oversight, but I was denied entry. Here’s what happened. ⬇️

My 13 year old just said the other day she dreads the day she meets some poor kid whose parents named them Labubu.

Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans. The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy. “This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned." The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned. Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.

What is this garbage that just came via email from the Social Security Administration?! Apparently they are now part of the government 's propaganda arm? This is shameful!

I can't make this make sense...

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

supporting guys like cuomo is a way for wealthy new yorkers who are actually republicans to maintain dem cred without voting against their own interests

For sure, campus AI club could take it on too

It sounds like that will be challenging because it's a moving target. As the models get more sophisticated, the power needs increase.

can someone please make a chrome extension that shows how much energy searches use and displays that info in real time? so we can visualize the difference between web search and AI prompting? would be useful in the classroom, I imagine.
