This is not funny, it's disturbing. AI should not replace community knowledge. And figuring things out is part of parenting. There's not one right answer. There's a lot of wrong answers and a lot of right answers. You gotta know your kid and what works for your family.

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

It's not like anyone goes around saying "The Department Of Defense posted an $895 BILLION LOSS IN 2024!", now do they?
Don't be suckered in by the framing that the US Post Office is some private business that is losing money. That's not what's happening. It's a government service.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

Vouchers destroy public schools. Public schools could do 10x more with the same amount of money.
"State funding diverted to private school vouchers increased from 12% for the 2021 school year to 24% for the 2025 school year, according to data from the Florida Policy Institute."
Meanwhile, "Florida ranks 50th in the nation in average teacher pay, at $54,875."

Private school vouchers in Florida redirecting funding away from public schools
Florida’s expansion of vouchers for families who want to enroll their children in private schools is leading to tighter budgets at public schools across the state.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
