I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

I got off this metro almost every single day and can confirm.
Gotta say, Union Station seemed a hell of a lot safer before the National Guard showed up.
NO WAY 🤬
School children and teens on their way home using the Washington DC Metro were allegedly stopped, forced to show ID, and thrown to the ground in and around Union Station by multiple law enforcement agencies while the National Guard watched (Sept, 3 2025)

Since Michael Shellenberger namechecked me in his latest fundraising appeal for his "Civilization Works" grift, I pulled up his 990. Last year, he pulled in $1.6 million to fight the censorship complex that *he made up* -- double what he got the year before.

How many times do we have to remind people: the chatbot *cannot* admit to *anything*. It *doesn't know*. When you ask it about itself, it generates its answer the same way it generates your request that it write an email. It takes what you tell it and responds in way to sound plausible.

So Musk is a billionaire. But if even HE doesn't like the big beautiful bill, then what's the point? What's the point of a bill that takes from the poor to give to the rich when even the rich don't want it?

Wow. The Senate voted 99-1 to kill Ted Cruz's stupid "moratorium" on state AI regulations.
Big win for civil society, a ton of groups weighed in against this as it was gaining momentum.
Classic example of a terrible idea no one likes that could have become law if people didn't organize & fight

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.
