We need turnover in Congress.

And we gotta get away from political violence. That Republicans are now complaining is very rich.
Republicans consider quitting Congress early over death threats and infighting
41 members have already announced they plan to call it quits at the end of their term.

Nailed it
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

This cannot be put into effect
The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

Frustrating but not surprising.

AI is struggling to understand accented English and non-standard dialects.

When you embed the racism into the code, you'll get racist outcomes. Who was part of building these systems?
AI's listening gap is fueling bias in jobs, schools and health care
AI can mishear — and misjudge — millions of Americans.

I think hearing the stories of why and how people left are important for me, as a Christian minister, to hear. I can't represent the entire religion, but I can learn how to do it better.
Americans Are Leaving Christianity Because of Anti-LGBTQ Animus. Why Now?

None. Trumps a pussy!
Trump's plan says he'll defend Ukraine and NATO from Russian attacks, but he doesn't keep promises. So when the attack happens (and it will), what action will Trump take?

I think it's a sucker bet

Trump would be committing the U.S. to defend Ukraine if Russia attacks again.
