Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI.

It comes after Big Tech announced a $100 million lobbying blitz.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

It was only little over a year ago.

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.

Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.

Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians.

In Trump’s oligarchy, the rich and powerful can pay their way to reside above the law.

Thank you Supreme Court 5.
What does a Trump presidency look like when he goes into it knowing he has immunity from prosecution for pretty much anything he does?

It looks like this one.

One of the unique things about Missouri is our ability to veto legislation passed without our consent. This outrageous mid-decade redistricting should be thrown out. This is the last week to sign the petitions to put it to a vote. Sign a petition now! We pick our politicians, they don’t pick us!

Trump’s insults, tantrums, and threats have exploded.

He’s losing control over what he says, descending into angry, venomous, often dangerous territory.

A filterless president who says anything that comes into his head poses a unique danger. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/age-and-inhibition

We are not war. We need to be very clear-eyed about what the president and the secretary of defense have done: the ordered killing of 2 survivors. The fact that we are debating whether this is a war crime or murder is mind numbing. A Moment of Clarity.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.

If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.

This is how things work.

Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

James Solomon is exactly the kind of leader we need—principled, fearless, and unwavering in his fight for working families.

He has real plans to make life more affordable and root out corruption, and he has the backbone to deliver. I’m proud to endorse him.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.

Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.
