On Wednesday, the Trump administration circulated a six-page draft executive order titled “Eliminating State Law Obstruction of National AI Policy.” It would create an “AI Litigation Task Force” led by the Attorney General to challenge state AI laws, among other provisions.

This week on the House floor I sent a message to Luna, a 6-year-old who has recently been bullied for being different, that she belongs and she is valued. We must teach our children that differences are not deficits, but paths to empathy and connection. Our world could use a little more of that.

Tedious to point this out, but:
- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.
-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

This needs to be much bigger news! This is a clear violation of 1974 Privacy Act, which provided guidelines for government accountability over our data. We need to pay attention.👇
DOGE has tried to gain entry to more than 80 data systems across at least a dozen different agencies, per NYT. Data sets "personal information about federal workers, detailed financial data about federal procurement and spending, and intimate personal details about the American public."
After His Trump Blowup, Musk May Be Out. But DOGE Is Just Getting Started.

⚠️ First, Trump targets sites like ActBlue that help fund his opponents.
⚠️ Next, it’ll be the voters themselves.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is.
So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
