Let’s be blunt. China and Russia are already racing to dominate AI while we still debate if it’s even worth it. Hesitation is no option, we need to lead smart, and strong. My latest (in reply) adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/we-cant-af...

We keep hearing credulous pundits say MAGA is "antiwar." So how many MAGA Republicans will support the new resolution requiring Trump to get congressional authorization for war with Iran? This resolution is important. People should pay attention to it. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1969...

Colorado this spring joined eight other states that have adopted their own voting rights acts. The idea is to mimic, and build on, the federal VRA’s protections, while ensuring that voters can sue in state courts when their rights are violated. boltsmag.org/colorad...

😵‍💫 The meeting between Putin, Trump and Zelensky should be the result of long-term work and already prepared points, — Peskov. Russian fundamental approach: negotiations for the sake of negotiations, delaying the end of the war for the sake of continuing killings and trying to grab more territory.

A Good Read The damaging part is the assault on health & science research DOGE & Trump admins go in & slash cervical cancer & sickle cell research because it’s “woke” Why is it woke? Apparently because men do not get cervical cancer & blacks are the unfortunate carriers of sickle cell. Keeping up?

Two things: 1. The purpose of these visa checks is to reduce any sort of dissent against the Trump administration globally. 2. Social media posts that reflect "hostile attitudes our citizens, culture, government or institutions" would disqualify the majority of Trump admin officials.

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

Do you remember when I was posting this story a bunch? Well, the incumbent sheriff (“Detain ‘Em Dave”) is handily losing the GOP primary right now to a challenger who says he wasn't going far enough on helping ICE. Casts the lack of a Dem candidate in even starker light.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.
