Cruz-Klobuchar bill would sacrifice speech for a false sense of security Cruz-Klobuchar bill censors online information too broadly in the name of security, writes senior adviser at Freedom of the Press Foundation.

A new bill that recently passed the Senate will let members of Congress censor information about themselves online.

The result is easy to predict: suppression of the press from reporting about Congress.

Check out this op-ed from FPF's @caitlinvogus.bsky.social:

The Techlords and Their Ideology Are Mortal Enemies of Humanity | Common Dreams The techlords intend to bring humanity to the brink of collapse and then, in a magic trick, rise to power, saving the species or themselves as the last specimens.

“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”

These people are wacky, watch out for your democracy!

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship Denaturalization is a tactic heavily used during the McCarthy era and one that was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during President Trump's first term. It's a tool usually us...

investigating and prosecuting such cases—including stripping people of citizenship for (alleged) “fraud” against the govt—is to be one of the top five priorities of the trump civil rights division

Our standard this week should be whether Trump's bill is a win for America and the American people, not whether it is a "win" for Trump. Truth is that the only way the American people win this week is if the bill fails. It is a 100% stone cold loser for all of us.
