#laborday isn’t just a long weekend, it’s about remembering and honoring the struggle of those that fought and died to give workers a voice in an economic system that would otherwise run us over. Thank you to those holding the line today and we honor those that held the line before us

Medicare will start requiring prior approval for certain procedures — and will hire private AI companies to determine if patients are covered.
The AI companies would have financial incentives to deny claims, because Medicare plans to pay them some of the savings from rejections.

Could Trump, a fellow who’s ignorant about so much, be trusted to make the correct and difficult decisions on AI?
It was a conversation the American public didn’t have.
Now that he's in that position, he's letting Big Tech run wild—as long as its chatbots accept his lies.

The Director of the White House Office of Personnel Management just said that all government workers should be “at will” employees.
This comment comes as the Trump administration attacks federal unions and tries to erode workers' rights.
