Senators probe whether RealPage pushed state AI law ban

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

kiss your country goodbye folks,bcs that means that they believe the senate will pass the terrible reconciliation with the provision on weakening the courts

A lot of the AI talk feels like a great, like “ we’re going to replace all the entry level jobs!” as if companies don’t have a choice but to adopt the software…almost like a used car salesman pitch? Idk how else to explain it; it’s definitely forced and a lot of the negatives are being waved off 1.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

does this seem like something a well adjusted person would say ?

for my sanity, I’m choosing to believe the blue checks on twitter are bots programmed to be as hateful as possible bc jesus…

hello party people, what horrible US news have I missed while I was away

1. NEWS The Trump administration has put more than 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday in a process intended to concentrate decision making at the highest levels.

important news from Texas: A bill that would ramp up the criminalization of abortions, including out-of-state travel, made it out of a state House committee today. Why this matters: the deadline for the bill to move forward past committee was tomorrow. Now only full House left. Context here:

If you do in fact want Covid boosters for yourself or anyone, you can submit public comment to the FDA here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

yeh so it’s over,goodbye forever folks

timeline cleanse

BREAKING: Two Israeli embassy staff members killed in shooting near Jewish museum in Washington, Homeland Security secretary says.

They’re not just cutting Medicaid and Medicare, they’re upping the expense of Obamacare to millions www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

I think I need a break, I’m seriously feeling suuiiiciiidal bc of everything I’m reading online rn and it’s too much

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

SCOOP: Less than two weeks before the start of hurricane season, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rescinded the agency’s strategic plan, which includes a document that guides agency priorities when responding to disasters, WIRED has learned.

Neguse: There’s a ridiculous contempt provision that would essentially try to stop federal courts—or limit their ability—from enforcing contempt orders. Why? Because they know the Trump administration is losing in every federal court in the land…

If anyone is in Philly come by to the Annenberg Center tonight at 630 pm ET hosting a TED Democracy panel on Truth, Trust and the Media. It's free and there are great panelists. See you tonight.

I truly believe this society is suicidal, there’s no other explanation

"Many of the grant terminations will jeopardize public safety and trust in government."

So if they pass the bill, how do they enforce that the courts can’t hold them in contempt ? That doesn’t make any sense

I swear that trying to be a sane person in this society is an impossible task.
