“MAGA Blamed a Palestinian Student for the Brown University Shooting. They Were Once Again Very Wrong”

Prominent Republicans & conservatives like Laura Loomer rushed to blame the shooting on a Palestinian or a Muslim, despite there being no evidence.

In a major reversal, Gov Hochul yielded to the legislature and signed the RAISE act, the AI safety law, which sets a new and strong standard.
