The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

Trump says God is proud of the things he has accomplished his first year back in office. One of his so called religious advisers needs to point out to him that God takes “good” pride in virtuous followers, and not self aggrandizing buffoons . Trump missed that boat long ago.

Seems like Putin instructed or advised Trump to take Greenland. Trump has long been Putin’s lap dog & does what he is told. If Trump gets Greenland, Putin will have full access to the US. Trump has already destroyed US relationship with NATO & our allies. That was a most fervent Putin wish.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

The difference between Zohran Mamdani and Chuck Schumer talking about affordability is that it isn’t part of Mamdani’s job to be a check on the power of the President of the United States.

During Trump’s first year back in office, Delaware families paid over $1,300 more on average for housing and transportation costs due to inflation. Nationally, families paid over $1,600 more.
Donald Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Another empty promise from a career conman.
