Has Musk apologized yet for his Hitler-loving AI?

I can’t see it if he has.

Have Republican and Democratic Party leaders alike demanded an apology from him and an investigation into how it happened?

Or is antisemitism just a cudgel used to attack supporters of Palestinians?

The refusal among certain high profile elite Dems to endorse Mamdani now and basically preemptively cut attack ads for his independent/ conservative opponents is funny whenever u consider how mad they get when a progressive or Muslim voter won’t endorse a Dem because of the genocide thing

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed.

It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

Every time someone quotes one of my posts and states that Missourians deserve to go hungry because the state went for Trump, remember that over 40% of the state voted for Harris.

And, children don’t vote. Children are the ones who will go hungry...

Trump cannot ignore constitutional limits on his power — or any court order enforcing those limits. We must keep saying so.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.
