So-called #AI is out there operating in critical societal functions without clearly needed supervision, years before it should be trusted.

Two federal judges last week admitted to releasing rulings that contained errors generated by artificial intelligence, underscoring a lack of uniform, permanent AI guidelines for U.S. courts as the technology spreads through the legal profession reut.rs/3WvrEYr

In 2026 my priority will be to help throw the #GOP out of #Congress since they have lost the plot on how to provide checks and balance vs this unfit President they still help prop up despite his lies, incompetence, cronyism and disdain for the American electorate.

I'm far more concerned about the unfitness of the entire line of succession to the Trump presidency at the present time.

Repubs won’t even acknowledge that Dems are trying to keep health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for 20+ million Americans?

They are just going pretend that isn’t happening & keep repeating this “free healthcare for illegals” bs?

What do the 20+ million think about that?

So ICE already ran out of legitimate candidates for detention and deportation, and will now invest taxpayer dollars in inventing and then harassing fictitious candidates?

Sounds like an oxymoronic stretch of even the GOP's definition of war on waste, fraud and abuse.

Yes, extortion. More proof that caving in to a bully only emboldens new threats.

Of course Sinclair can do this within its huge market share. Sucking up to Trump's FCC is an option.

Might not please viewers, however.

And in the age of streaming, you can't keep a good show from getting seen anyway... even if it's not live.

Jimmy Kimmel returns to ABC tonight. But not everyone in Pa. will be able to tune.

Sinclair, which owns and operates 31 ABC stations across the country, said in a statement it will preempt Kimmel’s show and replace it with news programming.

Jimmy Kimmel returns to ABC tonight. Over 1 million households in Pa. won’t be able to watch.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" will return to TV Tuesday night, but won't air in Harrisburg, Erie, and much of central Pennsylvania.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Shame on #ABC for bending the knee to Trump's #FCC and the #MAGA crowd, now trying to cast Charlie Kirk's lamentable death as martyrdom for free speech while thuggishly trying to shut down any criticism of Kirk's track record as a political arsonist.

Jimmy Kimmel show off air 'indefinitely' after Charlie Kirk comments.

The stunning decision to suspend one of the US' most popular and influential late-night shows comes as Trump widens his legal attacks on media organizations he accuses of bias against him

Someone please tell Stephen Miller and Donald Trump it was not the “radical left” that began threatening Historically Black Colleges and Universities after a white guy fatally shot another white guy.

All of us plain folk need to turn down the heat for ourselves even while the govt stirs pots. 😕

A normal president might have said “This was a grave error for which I personally apologize” — and then would likely have sacked the DHS and ICE chiefs.

Instead the whole world was treated to just another instance of Trump trying to gloss over his admin’s malicious incompetence. 🫤🙄
