I'm deeply disturbed by reports that Grok is creating and sharing inappropriate images of women and children.

My office and a coalition of AGs are demanding more action from xAI to stop Grok from sharing these nonconsensual images and suspend users who create harmful content.

Tomorrow, we will go to federal court to continue to fight for all evidence to be preserved for a full and transparent state investigation.

I am not asking for patience. My office is working around the clock on multiple incidents regarding federal agents' use-of-force.

Alex Pretti remembered by health care workers at a Minneapolis vigil as a ‘stand-up guy’. The VA ICU nurse had left a lab position to be closer to the frontlines to help people.

"Seattle's comprehensive plan failed to include any assessment of how rezoning will affect the orcas" - real words uttered by a Seattle nimby from an apartment in a European capital city.
The fight over the alleged impact of building more housing in Seattle on Southern Resident Killer Whales is still chugging along, with a big push this week to get the city to stop fighting an appeal at the state court of appeals.

But the Comp Plan is passed - the appeal IS moot!

Raphael Warnock: “I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can:

Enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles.
Demand papers at random.

ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms”

Robert Garcia is clear. ICE is not welcome in Long Beach. Communities deserve safety, dignity, and accountability, not intimidation and federal dragnet policing. Congress must stop funding abuse and listen to the people on the ground. #FundHealthcareStopICE

HE KNOWS he lost in 2020, yet he keeps repeating the same lie over and over again, hoping it will some day become fact.

🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨
It will always remain a lie!

Lying will not end, not even with his death. His tombstone will read: "I'm not deceased. Fake news. Just resting my eyes."

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.
