This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

“Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.”

Cubs fans Gage is gone but remember the plan for this non-rebuild year was give full time 3rd base to an untested rookie, an insult to both Shaw's development and the team. This is a front office problem. The poor ricketts are barely breaking even, it was a 3B or millions for an inauguration party.

The proper outlet for conservative energy is major league baseball. Go ahead, yell at the the tv about how no one can throw 6 innings without an injury any more, then call your fucking senator and demand an end to human trafficking as government business.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)
