NEW: Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have announced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Moratorium Act, legislation that would enact a reasonable pause to the development of AI to ensure the safety of humanity.
Interesting that while ICE is trying to build prisons, Trump wants his “ballroom” finished in time for the midterms since he’s going to need a new command and control center for election results to be manipulated to keep Trump in power. That would follow by riots in the streets, Hegseth ordering troops to fire on protesters and that would be the only rational or justification for such a heavily fortified and sophisticated structure. He’s afraid of the riots and likely his last trip there was during BLM. Probably hated it, wants a new gold plated one. His private donors are buying a future while we get ripped off. I hope our side is war gaming all possible scenarios.
And the sick o fants are trying to make it a law to build the stupid ballroom! Boy do we NEED change in Congress and Senate! Vote BLUE! But I won't say no matter who! NO AIPAC money! Abolish ICE and take FEMA OUT of DHS! etc. etc. etc.
So agree to no aipac money butttt citizens united made it so that billionaires give so much to the republicans that AIPAC is just a dot…. But needed to run a damn campaign.. take their money but vote against all that Israel is doing to Gaza and Lebanon people!!!!! Push aipac to get Netanyahu out as we need our criminal Trump out. In 2028 go hard in the no AIPAC sadly many have taken it so aipac could screw us by using money against us. I know it sucks but we can’t lose our democracy it is on thin ice. Stick together people get us through 26 and don’t let spoiler candidates tgat can’t win take the votes. Now if they are close like in Maine…. Go for it..
And the ballroom is now being asked to be funded with $400 million in taxpayer dollars by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), and Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.)
Do you think the DeSantis redistricting attempt will backfire on the GOP? I certainly hope so! Pretty sick that he won't let voters have a say like CA and VA did!
The regime issued a stop work order on their own ICE prison construction. Do you think they will back down completely or try to push it through? Of course they will try to push it through but I just learned via Rachel Maddow they have NOT gotten even one of these illegal CONCENTRATION camps done. That is indeed good news!
Post the final gutting of the VRA in Louisiana, the FL House voted during a 90 minute session with no debate to rubber stamp this. The FL Senate is moving to finish this today. I had thought there was some dissension in Rep ranks.
I am sorry but this is a truly disturbing and depressing day. In NC we are dealing with the stolen NCSBOE invent more novel ways to suppress voting. There is still no budget from last year and the Medicaid funding passed only with the poison pills that included more targeting of immigrants and taking the power of Medicaid fraud investigation from the AG and giving it to the Rep State Auditor.
It is disturbing and depressing. Voting should be encouraged - in fact I like how Australia does it IE if you do NOT vote you get fined, granted it's only $15 but still the point is VOTE! It is our right and the Supreme Court should not be violating our RIGHTS!
Have you all seen that Katie Phang is suing Todd Blanche for violating the law as concerns the Epstein files? She wants a Special Master to oversee the DOJ. That is what Ro Khanna and Tom Massie tried for awhile back. It's what is needed as the DOJ (pammy jo before toddy) are breaking the law! I hope they both get disbarred!
Sadly he redistricted in 2022 and Florida Supreme Court ok’d it. Corruption runs deep in Florida!! Hoping more young people are sick of the way this administration has treated them and they become the new voters!!
And a few minutes ago Supreme Court gave the key of governance in perpetuity to the Republicans by gutting the VRA. We can not talk about reforming the court because there will be no more chance of democracy in our country. I am an eternal optimist but today it seems it is indeed all lost.
In this HuffPost article, it states one reason for the ruling is that “vast social change” means racism is not as much of a problem. While we want that to be true, I doubt it is as true as the justice claimed.
The way the various reasonings were described, they do not seem as strong as one would expect a SC ruling to be.
Surely some legal scholars could find exceptions or “workarounds.”
Either that or something having to do with veterans, but how can SCOTUS possibly decide something like that?! How can anyone make a legitimate ruling that puts power in the hands of one party?
Maga Scotus was the plan. Politicians in robes! I am not sure if this specifically was in Project 2025...but This was the plan. The hypocrisy - A plan to destroy our democracy but no plan for exiting a war?
I actually think this fucking POS POTUS wants to stay in the war for him and his $$$buddies to make money with his market manipulations. scump does not care if gas prices go to $8.00, no one can afford life, food, healthcare. scump doesn't care as long as he is stealing, conning, scamming money.
🗺️ Floridians want fair maps and are saying NO to redrawing maps. DeSantis stands to lose support of GOP if he pushes partisan gerrymandering.
⚖️ Bad idea to build an ICE prison on a toxic waste site ⚠️. If they try to force it, I expect the regime to fail. AG Kris Mayes’s has a winning record against them.
All the more important to participate in 5/1's No work, no school, no shopping. There are more of us than there are of them. JUST SAY NO! Floridians have to continue to show up to stop the gerrymandering!
Trumpstein files now! Blanch can't use the Blondi trickery, so more pressure on him and DonOld!
Another good day for the resistance! Thanks, Scott!
I think Blanche is not going to last long. The fact that he is trying to indict Comey and those poor little seashells shows how out of his depth and pathetic he is.
DeSantis will push for the redistricting, but even in this Ruby Red state people are waking up and fighting against his efforts. Alcatraz Alley is an example of his cruelty.
I’m sitting in Florida right now—visiting an old friend. The DeSantis redistricting issue is on all the local news—not one whisper about the protesters and the resistance. One commentator mentioned—someone is likely to sue about this—and obviously Marc Elias already had—but it was not reported as such.
This is why new media and what you’re doing Scott is so important—giving real facts on the ground.
It is infuriating, Ann. I know someone who "seems" like a nice person but their true colors are coming out. They complained to me about a Christian entertainer not being covered on the news and instead, protestors were being covered. This person said in a contemptuous tone that the latter were "just agitators". I can't with these fake Christians and their sheer disregard and/or contempt for the plight of thousands who are just trying to live a decent life.
Also can you put a price tag on DeSantis gerrymandering scheme in per person cost to help Floridians understand how their tax dollars are being wasted?

No way that ballroom bunker gonna be ready for the cowardly orange turd to hide in by election time.

I’m so sick of the Repugs spending our tax dollars on trumpy toys instead of healthcare etc

Abolish ICE 🧊

Agree, Colleen. Katie knows the assignment and I think she can get it done.
I LOVE KATIE PHANG! YOU GO GIRL!
DeSantis will probably win because the Supreme Court just gutted an important part of the VRA and gave the green light too the gerrymanders.
Sadly he redistricted in 2022 and Florida Supreme Court ok’d it. Corruption runs deep in Florida!! Hoping more young people are sick of the way this administration has treated them and they become the new voters!!
I hope you are wrong, Pam. But if Aileen Cannon has any say, you are probably right. Lack of ethics is Cannon's middle name.
O despise her!
The Fl Senate is even more plaint so it’s pretty much a given…😔

Well now, you and Pam have confirmed it. Boo, SCOTUS!
NEVER GIVE UP!
WHAT?!
REALLY WHAT the F _ _ _??? I'm assuming VRA is the Voting Rights Act? The Supreme Court are NOT the lawmakers, how do they even have a say in this?
Either that or something having to do with veterans, but how can SCOTUS possibly decide something like that?! How can anyone make a legitimate ruling that puts power in the hands of one party?
WELL, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THIS WHOLLY POLITICAL SCOTUS WANTS TO DO.
And when you have three that were appointed by Trump...well
Maga Scotus was the plan. Politicians in robes! I am not sure if this specifically was in Project 2025...but This was the plan. The hypocrisy - A plan to destroy our democracy but no plan for exiting a war?

8647! THIS FASCIST is a threat TO OUR DEMOCRACY!
9 POLITICIANS IN BLACK ROBES.
UNFORTUNATELY, 6 TO 3.
There in lies the problem. They are NOT supposed to be politicians! They are supposed to be impartial.
I did see something that said yes, it's the Voting Rights Act, but I don't know what they did yet.
So much for the 14th Amendment and equal protection under the law.
Jumbo shrimp..
Military intelligence..
Corporate ethics..
Moderate Republicans..

Of course Florida redistricting will backfire. People are over this mess.
The regime will back down in AZ. They are tired of losing lawsuits.
grateful for those with the courage and ability to continue to do what is morally and legally right, unlike so many doing the opposite
