Dario Amodei said the quiet part out loud: 83 million jobs lost by 2027, $189B invested in AI vs. a mere $8B in brain research, and how this imbalance benefits is a feature not a bug.

@schumer.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov SHUT IT DOWN!!! Now is the time to stand strong against this corrupt and illegitimate regime! They’ve already crippled it - time to shut it down to bring them to heel. Compliance is surrender!

And once again @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has shown just exactly what he's made of - jelly! As 10 of his caucus fecklessly side with the MAGAts to censure @algreen.house.gov after his principled outrage at Mango Mussolini at his SoU Reichstag address. You need to grow a spine or resign.

Well that was a pathetic showing @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Once again you showed that Dems are weak and have no clue how to respond. Why don’t you do the Country a favor and resign in favor of Dems who know how to throw a punch!
