I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.

Will Americans get Trump's tariff rebate checks before or after they receive the long-awaited DOGE checks? (Hello?)
NEW: Tariffs are unpopular, prices are still stubbornly high and Americans are souring on Trump's handling of the economy. So, now, he's promising cash -- tariff rebates and other money in a bid to assuage restless voters.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.
