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.

While this is great, why can’t the sponsors come from a broader swath of the country, politically? We need all Americans to get behind this. Isn’t there a mod Dem or even GOP’er who could co-sign? Some people won’t go near this bec of the political stance of Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders. I think we need to be more strategic about changing the way things are being done.

I think a broad swath of the country is kinda sick of mod Dems.

I guess McMahon meant “In hindsight, I didn’t think I’d get caught”.

Great observation, Pat!

oh, that cheers me up!

The McMahon hearing was brutal to watch, and the Arizona court win felt like pure justice. Thank you for always finding the wins even on tough days. Keep it coming!

So let me get this straight McMahom is firing all of the department workers yet she’s teaching elementary school children how to get into the workforce? Make that sound right.

All part of the plan to bring back child labor so uber wealthy can make more profit.

Recent Florida legislation loosened child labor laws….with ICE detentions/deportations they need more roofers and ag workers.

Speaking of Florida…local school superintendent and board member had scheduled appearances at “Truth-fest”,where attendees were able to “Discern The Patterns” through “The Trump of God”. You could not make this stuff up !

It harkens back to the Industrial Revolution and Charles Dickens.

Linda McMahon is an idiot, and I think that was just the first word that popped into her head!

Wow. What a strong edition! Seems like you’re on fire this week! Thanks, Scott!

It is way beyond time for Mike Johnson to “cave in” to Democrats and finally passing funding for TSA, etc. but NOT ICE. Has that man no morals, honor, decency? Wait. No he doesn’t. I am not buying one thing May 1st.

I read yesterday that even though we all were told DJ T supposedly issued an executive order restoring pay to the TSA workers, someone checked with some of them, and they had not gotten any pay despite the order all of us thought had happened… I’m not so sure the order was even legal, but still… Their pay was never restored early.

So grateful that none of the mod Dems caved, sabotaging our aim to stifle any more money is going to ICE. So so so grateful for this win. We still have a long way to go, but still… We were the dam that held back the waters. No leak.

Winning over evil is fabulous. It still seems unbelievable that such evil exists and even more so, consistently wants to harm children, whether through directness like school shooters or underhandedness like the actions of this regime.

Re: McMahon — it means “ look at me, I’m an ass”

I can’t begin to understand McMahon’s “hindsight” comment. She’s pathetic. The antithesis of education and the educated. An embarrassment, just like ALL the other cabinet members. Every one…

Mike Johnson is in BIG trouble with many of his fellow Repubs. He knows he’s REALLY stinking at his leadership. Let’s see if they will pull off his ousting.

YES!! I will be at my town’s May Day rally!!!

What do you think Linda McMahon meant when she said “hindsight?”

I believe she meant to say "steak sauce." She is clueless.

Today: no work (it was hard to call in as an ICUnurse) , no spending. Staying home and doing yard work.

Kudos to you supporting the May Day strike as a nurse! It's much easier as a retired person and I applaud you!
