Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

He denied aid to North Carolina. This is fucked up beyond measure. Those people who voted for him are getting nothing from that vote, to say nothing of the people who DIDN'T vote for him (or vote at all). I will never say you deserved the natural disasters. But you had to know this would happen.

This, exactly. Americans are tired of the political tug-of-war. Trump made inequality deeper than it already was. If Dems want to be the party of human decency, they need to step up and help out.

People don't seem to realize that “Artificial Intelligence” is branding. AI is an algorithm. The best use case for AI is repeatable, low-risk tasks — not decisions.

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."
