When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests! Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding. House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump is revoking Pres. Biden’s security clearance, plans to fire the Kennedy Center leadership and make himself the chair, and demands WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson be fired for criticizing weak Republicans who don’t stand up to Trump. This miserable mam is a blot against America.

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities. He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous. @rachelbonnifield.bsky.social & I break down where aid goes: www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg wisely said, “The true symbol of the United States is not the bald eagle—it is the pendulum.” Today, that pendulum has swung too far from justice, democracy, and freedom. It’s on us to push it back. To fight, to protest, to rise. The future is ours to reclaim.

Trump apparently directed the Army Corps of Engineers to meddle in local water policy and angered a whole bunch of farmers—and likely his supporters—all to try to win a political point. The water appears to be directed to recently FLOODED farm lands.
