It seems awfully telling that Republicans were unwilling to hold this hearing publicly. It’s not like the case hinged on classified information; they’re just afraid of the public hearing what Smith has to say.

Kash Patel has no business being the FBI director. This is the second time in a major murder case where he has prematurely announced the detainment of a person of interest who was subsequently cleared. He is an incompetent, corrupt buffoon.

Trump says he wants the next Fed Chair to cut interest rates to 1%.

That’s not “economic policy,” it’s a smash and grab.

He’s not trying to help working people, he’s trying to juice the markets, loot the system, and walk away richer.👇

A pilot program of AI for Medicare to begin in 6 states:
- It will require prior authorization for some services, a major change.
- Worse yet, AI will decide and the AI companies will be paid based on the value of the healthcare they deny.

Medicare’s new AI experiment sparks alarm among doctors, lawmakers • Stateline
A Medicare pilot program will allow private companies to use artificial intelligence to review older Americans’ requests for certain medical care — and will reward the companies when they deny it.

The fact that our country did this once was already unconscionable.

To have revived it is truly depraved.

Those responsible belong in prison - all the way up the chain of command.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.

AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

I used to have to teach the NSS: What's in it, what it means, how it was produced.
In this administration, documents mean nothing. Our national policy is whatever stray voltage is crossing Donald Trump's brain pan at any given moment. The NSS and other such documents are meaningless.
The Trump administration has quietly released its National Security Strategy — apparently late on Thursday. Usually there's a rollout and fanfare for these things: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
