Many people claim AI is “hype,” but the fact is it—along with the algorithms and machine learning they rely on—is potentially more dangerous than nukes to humanity.
Epstein: Too important to ignore. Yet it’s the perfect distraction, to keep much of the country’s political energy on the scandal, so that the “government,” with corporations and the wealthy class, can continue to screw the American people over in the later stages of capitalism.
The GOP is trying to sneak legislation into a bigger bill that would preempt state laws around the regulation of AI, and create a national environment with very little regulation of the technology.

House eyeing AI preemption in NDAA, Scalise says
House Republican leaders are searching for a legislative vehicle they could attach language to that would effectively ban state regulation of artificial intelligence.

Trump ‘promises’ the checks by mid-2026, because that’s conveniently when SCOTUS may rule that the IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. Then, T will blame SCOTUS—and many people will also blame SCOTUS, leading to the judicial branch losing even more credibility.

Fascism is the system’s response to late-stage capitalism. This is capitalism failing. People are setting themselves up to be shocked when fascism accelerates post-Trump. This isn't a problem with a few bad people. This is a problem with a system that enriches the few, at the expense of the many.

Just to clarify, everyone knows the reason for this government shutdown is because Republicans don’t want to release the Epstein Files, right?

The Trump Tariffs are making the price of everything go up quickly. Produce at Costco up at least 20 percent in the past month. Things on Amazon that used to cost ~$80, now ~$100. Gas is up. Cost of everything rising. And this is just the beginning, as T essentially started a trade war.

Nah, this was no “coding error.” The United States government has been out to destroy habeas corpus, without a constitutional amendment, because it stands in the way of its tyrannical power.
Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

The United States also has a bigger per capita jail and prison population than the prison populations of China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia put together.
A grim reminder this 4th of July: The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration.
Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

“No tax on tips” is a scam. This provision in the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” expires in 2028, and only allows a $25k exemption (and excludes “gig” workers and independent contractors), while the rest of the tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires extend in perpetuity. Why is this?
