I think a lot of the appeal of chatbots/AI tools for reading, writing, and art/music is it gives people who hate/can’t do those things a way to do them that seems good.
Hate to read? AI will break it down for you. Hate to write? AI will give you words.
Can’t make art? AI will paint for you. 1/

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

If Rs can claim the 2017 tax cuts are "baseline policy" and can be extended w/o incr the deficit, then why can't Ds claim ACA tax credits are "baseline policy" and should be extended w/o incr the deficit?
How do you morally justify lower taxes for the rich and cutting health care for the poor?

It’s also sad and frustrating how DoD apparently has tens of billions of dollars in unexpended or unobligated funds. Few other agencies are given such latitude when it comes to spending their appropriations, and even fewer for such large amounts of money.

The White House says it’s going to use procurement dollars to illegally pay the troops for rather than do it the legal way of enacting a military pay bill.
You cannot w/ a straight face tell me using procurement dollars to pay the military adheres to the purpose statute and the Antideficiency Act.
