We are seeing in real time why DC needs the full power and protection of statehood.

Deploying the National Guard to a state without a request from state leaders is unlawful.

The fact that he could do it in the capital city is a massive vulnerability to our entire national democracy.

ProPublica obtained records showing how a DOGE software engineer with no health care or government experience created an AI model to identify contracts to kill at the VA.

@bxroberts.org‬ takes us through what we learned when we asked experts to review the model’s underlying instructions and code ‡️

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

We've been supposed to wait until AI gets good while it destroys everything in the meantime? What happened to testing your product to make sure it's good before you roll it out. In this case a product no one needs or wants.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

This is a perfect argument against generative AI
