Trump isn't doing anything to lower costs for your family, but he is using the full force of the presidency to make himself and his family very, very, very, very rich.

Multiple surveys are telling the same story: AI adoption has stalled. Census data shows ~11% of workers use AI, with rates falling at 250+ employee firms. Surveys show usage spiked then plateaued.

Meanwhile Big Tech is planning $5T in AI spend by 2030 that needs $650B/year in revenue vs ~$50B today
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

You mean Mike Johnson, the one who cared more about winning a political game than feeding kids, the one who refused to swear in a representative to defend pedophiles?

One of my students years ago said to me after I made the class watch this one: “thanks a lot, Professor, now I’m going to need therapy”
On an entirely different topic. I just watched “Threads” and I’ll blame you if I have nightmares tonight.

Reuters: "Israeli forces launched airstrikes in southern and central Gaza, hitting areas beyond the yellow line despite ceasefire terms."

The Gazans are homeless and under attack and rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem. And to others. ❤️

Reminding me of the impact of the too early loss of Ray Liotta. Sigh.

Here’s the song in “GoodFellas.”

Marty “paid a lot of money for it,” said Ileana Douglas. “He used to laugh that the Stones were getting rich off him. But he didn’t care. If that was the right cue for the scene, he was going to get it — no matter what it cost.”

The Stones release the “Let it Bleed” LP today in ‘69

Martin Scorsese said people sometimes ask why he uses “Gimme Shelter” so often in his films. It does something, he said, “no other piece of music does for me .. There’s fear. There’s seduction. It’s the sound of consequences rushing toward you.”

AP News: "In Gaza, some choose their wrecked and damaged houses rather than displacement."

Life for Gazans remains dire. They rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to escape. And to others. 🙏

Yes.

And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.
Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
