There isn't just one AI. Someone has to decide which to use. Someone has to train the robots and fix them It will also allow companies to manufacture in the USA what was made by cheap labor overseas. Jobs wkll evolve And I think robots will be taxed by the hour.

The Republican state legislative playbook for many years has been: 1) Gerrymander the districts after taking power 2) Pass burdensome restrictions to suppress voters 3) Restrict ballot initiatives so voters can’t use them to undo 1 and 2 or pass progressive policies

I’m tired of hearing how much Members of Congress “care” behind closed doors. If you’re not speaking up in public about the Afghan allies we left behind, then you’re part of the problem. This week, a few stood up. Most stayed silent. Enough is enough. Take a stand. @afghanevac.bsky.social

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

To recap: House Republicans passed a budget in the dead of night by a single vote that will strip health care from millions of Americans, deliver a massive wealth transfer to the richest Americans, and exploded the deficit.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

Reminder about the huge Medicaid cuts in the bill that House Republicans just passed: In 2017, JD Vance criticized Medicaid cuts just like these as a massive betrayal of Trump voters and a selling out of Trumpism's promises to the working class. newrepublic.com/article/1954...

By slashing tariffs on China, Trump once again shows that the only problems he can fix are the ones he causes. But still, 30% tariffs mean Australian beef will still be found on Chinese supermarket shelves. #econsky

Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it. I would love to hear what they feel needs to happen next and how to get there. Not what politicians think
