"one of those priorities is buying technology, especially AI, with less of an obligation to prove it’s effective and worth the money the government will be paying for it."
What could go wrong? "Well hell, AI is launching missiles at Chicago.."
And could this AI be tampered with by foreign agents?

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

According to my local food bank, $1 = 2 meals.
So a donation of $25 is 50 meals.
A little can go a long way and you *can* make a difference.

I’m so proud of my daughter in Seattle.
She doesn’t have much money (she’s a preschool teacher with a preschooler of her own) but she has a big bag of Costco flour — so she’s baking sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls every week for people in her neighborhood who are furloughed or lost SNAP…

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.
