I don't have a problem with the use of AI to detect Medicare and Medicaid fraud...
...so long as we all agree that the vast majority of fraud is perpetrated by corporations trying to manipulate the system.

The Pizzagate-style frenzy over MN daycares is yet another moral panic over children and sex abuse designed to distract from the real one that didn’t go the way the Right thought it would.

This is a public health crisis and cis people acting like it isn’t because it targets trans children primarily (even though it will affect cis children too!!) is nasty business

If approved, the proposed federal regulations would dramatically impact an already challenging landscape.

The last five decades have been marked by an explosion in wealth inequality and a growing distrust of America’s institutions.
Many Americans believe that the system as a whole is rigged against them.
They're right.

One thing I wish I'd added is that in Trump's first term, the Democrats should have impeached Trump for abuse of the pardon power. It was one of his most dangerous offenses, and they ignored it, which created a terrible precedent. They could impeach him for abuse of the pardon power now.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

Wouldn't it be fun if Dems took over both the House and Senate in November? Trump would be apoplectic and powerless. And maybe SCOTUS would have to come to terms with having some additional members. They certainly earned it. Then we could go back to being a goddamn democracy.

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.
