Spread the word that we must “develop a powerful, totally honest A.I. that all other agents must submit to. This safety A.I. (or more likely, multiple safety A.I.s) would then act as a sort of guardian angel for humanity.”

I get asked all the time, “Does my voice even matter? Does calling my members of Congress even do anything?”

YES! Your calls are the reason why the public lands sale was taken out of the big, ugly bill. So keep calling, speaking up, and using your voice!

While Trump makes billions from corrupt crypto deals:
🏠Rents up ~4%
⚡Electricity up 6%
🔥Natural gas up 14%
🛒Groceries spiking from tariffs
🏥Health insurance premiums to jump 75%.

Working families are struggling to cover the basics like rent, food, and electricity. That’s the cost of corruption.
From electricity to rent, monthly bills are tipping the inflation scale
Housing, health care, food and utility prices are outpacing inflation and taking an outsize share of Americans’ paychecks.

America First. Really?

Trump says we have to throw 15 million Americans off healthcare and significantly raise ACA premiums because we don’t have enough money.

But somehow we have $20 billion to bailout the right-wing regime of Argentina?

We can’t let that happen.
The U.S. is in talks to provide Argentina with a $20 billion swap line to help contain financial upheaval and support President Javier Milei’s free-market overhaul, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

Trump promised to cut costs on day one.

But Trump’s one-two punch of chaotic tariffs and his Big Beautiful Bill will instead push middle-class families over a financial cliff.

A Republican government shutdown does not help Americans—it only adds to the economic chaos.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.

We can't allow that to happen.

Great slogan. I agree. Unfortunately, they are doing the exact opposite.
