At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

Nice gaffe you've got there. It would be a shame if your Democratic opponent played it back over and over again in attack ads when you're up for re-election next year.

Think of all those investors that lost $$$!😳

Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

You can’t be “addicted” to a human right.

Yikes!

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

This is our pitch exactly in Connecticut: we’ve made it illegal to build everyone’s favorite places in the state. End parking mandates and make it possible to build more of the traditional Connecticut Main Street! www.courant.com/2025/05/22/o...

Stephen is the formerly bullied self serving little punky twerp who befriended the bully and now thinks he’s the bully’s puppet master. I bet he likes to call himself ‘the trump whisperer’. Every claim of his feels like a desperate cry for relevance.

The feds are asking judges in migrant cases to dismiss the case, which makes them undocumented — then ICE takes them into custody as part of an expedited removal of undocumented immigrants. @democrats.senate.gov — hold hearings. We demand answers. ☎️ Call your Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121

I took the subway today and it had some (likely) homeless people. No incidents occurred. It's hilarious to me how MAGA claims to be the epitome of masculinity but can't handle a subway ride with the poorest Americans.

A 2-year-old in Valley, Alabama unintentionally shot himself after finding an unsecured handgun. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Call your Members of Congress & urge them to #KeepKidsSafe by cosponsoring Ethan’s Law. (202) 224-3121 www.wtvm.com/2025/05/27/2...

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

"Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power ... With that done, power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals." trib.al/oyBvPkF

Which was all part of the GOP game plan, if they could not win elections fairly, to demonize Democrats, deceive, distract and demoralize voters, and destroy democracy.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

This is very nancy mace www.wired.com/story/nancy-...

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

Beyond parody.

New Pete Buttigieg interview just dropped. www.youtube.com/watch?v=giZt...

They are purging all the transcripts.

This is Trump's advertisement to the world of what America does to people who come here. We don't give you any rights even if you're legal. And that should scare not only immigrants but also Americans traveling abroad. We will have no right to object when it happens to us.

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Progressive Freedom A living wage. Full healthcare. Union rights. Voting that’s fair. Family for all. No gun violence. These freedoms can’t be silenced.

Donald Trump pardoned a sheriff convicted of bribery? This tracks. Endless moral bankruptcy.

Remember, it's not terrorism when white people do it

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.
