CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were “taken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.

Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not
A judge rules that Anthropic's training on copyrighted works without authors' permission was a legal fair use, but that stealing the books in the first place is illegal.

SCOTUS just sided with polluters—again. 115 million people live in areas with dangerously high smog levels, yet this ruling weakens EPA’s ability to stop smog from crossing state lines.This will make Americans sicker. I will keep fighting for public health over corporate wealth.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Congress has the sole power to declare war – full stop.

The idea that the US would potentially deploy a bunker buster bomb in Iran w/out Congressional approval not only flies in the face of our Constitution, it would also rope us into another forever war that Americans do not want.

AFSCME members like Ruben work hard keep their communities healthy every day. Congress' budget cuts wouldn't just make their jobs harder – it would make it harder for patients to receive lifesaving care which Medicaid & Medicare provides.

Between suspending Terry Moran for calling out fascists and that "article" about the cop in Chicago being killed and never mentioning it was her partner who shot her in the back, ABC has shown it is compromised from the top down.

It is more afraid of the state than us. Ignore ABC News.

Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"?

It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State."

For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇
