President Trump’s unlawful executive order to upend AI safety laws infringes on states’ legal right to enact common-sense protections.

80% of people want AI safety rules, but the Trump administration would rather reward tech CEOs than help working people. https://bit.ly/497EJy0

A huge day for the labor movement.

SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

My story:
Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role
Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, “the heart of what FEMA does.”

Mike Benz, who does not know which finger is his pinky, is now a "special government employee" at USAID, where he is attempting to investigate its "pernicious influence."

You'd think this guy would be too dumb even for the Trump regime. Nope!!!

Just in: Missouri organizers have turned in ≈300,000 signatures to block the GOP's new gerrymander there.

That's an impressive haul in the very compressed window they had. They need roughly 110,000 signatures to succeed, though the GOP will now throw everything it has to disqualify them.

I would let Trump shred the Constitution before I wear a pair of hard pants on a plane.
As travelers head to the airports this holiday season, the U.S. government wants them to rethink their travel checklists, their behavior — and also, their outfits. It's a part of a new campaign by Sean Duffy, the secretary of transportation, that he called “The Golden Age of Travel Starts With You.”
