Just watched “The Running Man” by Richard Bachman (Stephen King).
Set in 2017 it had AI creating fake videos to incriminate Arnie and to claim he’d been caught.
The AI tools we have today can do this Fortunately we haven’t had the global collapse.

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.

I’m excited to be joining Stephen Colbert tonight on “The Late Show.”
Back in 2013, I joined “The Colbert Report” to discuss how we build an economy that works for the many, not just the few.
