The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

You only fire the person in charge of making sure your administration follows ethics rules if you plan on ignoring ethics rules.

I don’t know who need to hear this, but the House goes on recess for a week starting this Friday. Back at home. In district offices. At public events. And @indivisible.org has some ideas. More soon.

New pandemic just dropped: mass death by embarrassment

Not for nothing, but the institutions of this economy work because the institutions of this democracy work.

Do people not understand we’re experiencing a silent coup and are at war?

Trump's Order to ban young trans people from playing with their friends at school is wrong & endangers the wellbeing of ALL kids. Read the full statements from CEC Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair @fernandez.house.gov at the link in our bio.

If you took everyone saved by USAid's immunization work and put them in the Superdome, it would be full. And require 37 more Superdomes. Each year. A look at what's at risk when Musk and Trump blindly rip through the government for applause. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It has now officially been confirmed. We have reached the singularity

Undefeated, illustrated. All the best to you, Jim.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The Trump admin just put a hold on all federal grants and loans — affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments. The reason: To ensure programs are consistent with Trump’s orders banning DEI initiatives and clean energy spending, among other measures. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

@normeisen.bsky.social: “We have independent inspectors general. That's what IG stands for… They're there to make sure that the public interest is served... This is a nakedly illegal action, because Donald Trump doesn't want that oversight.”

Trump's rollback of DEI initiatives are an affront to all of us.   It is a FACT that systemic oppression codified in our laws & budgets has harmed women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ & disabled folks, & many others.   Diversity is our strength & everyone in America deserves to thrive.w

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
