🚨 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.
It amazes me that other like-minded governors have not done what Gov. Spanberger has done?????!!!!!! She's one of our newest governors!!!!! I do not understand why governors like Newsom have not put such a state law into effect...... Yes, the NRA will fight it; but this is not about taking away a person's right to own a gun. It is about not allowing you to buy a weapon whose only use is to kill people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaagh!!!
I like our governor (Shapiro - PA), but he could definitely do more. I guess his concern is the red vote in the middle of the state: remember that Pennsylvania is Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in the middle.
This is my biggest gripe, Shapiro pushing the data centers and crap we don't want or need. He's not terrible, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
Happy to tell you that Washington state also has banned assault weapons since 2023. You can still own one, or inherit it, but you can only sell it to a licensed firearms dealer. This seems to have limited the unlawful use of them. So it can be done! :-)
Ms. Spanberger is the complete opposite of Sleepy Dr. Jesus in every way. She appears to have been a serious college student, earned an MBA, is multi-lingual, went to work in national public service right out of the gate - US Postal Service Inspector, CIA analyst, Congresswoman for that region of Virginia south of DC, north of Richmond.
Bruce Springsteen told me a few weeks ago in Atlanta that "honor, honesty, character, humility, compassion, humanity, decency, morality, and true strength" all still matter, and to me, Ms. Spanberger epitomizes each one.
It goes without saying that every one of these virtues is entirely missing from Sleepy Dr. Jesus, his entire Cabinet, and most congressional and SCOTUS Republicans.
NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill has also signed legislation to prevent ICE overreach and to protect people in NJ from some of the horrors inflicted on Minnesota. Our assault rifle ban has existed for several years, and we are one of the safest states when it comes to gun violence.
Here is to the Judges who have detected the administration’s lies!
I think that despite all the Supreme Court and Red state machinations (which are abominable- we MUST fix the Supreme Court with added seats and term limits!) the Democrats will win big in November. They MUST.
It is common sense gun safety. We must all vote Blue in November, and make sure we participate in local elections and anticipate and work against attempts at voter suppression.
Even without your prompt, Scott, I was going to post my absolute *highest* praises for Ms. Spanberger - she has been delivering for VA since day one and I wish she were governor of my state! She’d make an excellent president, too!! 👏👏👏👏💕
What about her acquiescence re: voter approved Congressional maps? Is she standing up for the very same voters who put her in office? Black voters turned out in droves to support her. Now that they are being disenfranchised, and she has opportunity to uphold maps to protect their ballot access, it appears she has chosen not to do so in deference to a flawed decision from a corrupt court.
I didn’t know about that. What could she lawfully do? If she’s being selfish and/or bigoted, that would surprise me, but this day and age, it’d only be mild surprise. Still, I don’t know, but repercussions for going against the SCOTUS exist for everyone but trump.
I agree! I don't live in VA but if I did and had voted on the redistricting thing I'd be outraged. In fact I am outraged and even wrote to her about it! There's no way ANY court should have ANY right to turn over a vote of the people!!!
I live in CO, where our governor did something equally awful by letting Tina Peters, election denier and actually effed around with ballots, out early! She was sentenced to 9 years but Polis just set her free, because he got "threatened" by tRUMP??? I wrote to him too!
Regarding Trump’s rapidly descending poll numbers: I am less concerned about November than about a ramp-up of all the stupid and sadistic crap he’s going to pull to further subvert democracy. My only cautious hope is that his raw stupidity — exacerbated by further dementiaform decline—will continue to outpace his consistent malevolent intentions…
I agree. The latest ploy of robbing our taxes to compensate the J6 criminals must not be forgotten by us and Congress. And we must be ready for the next violation of our constitution with protests and contacts with Congress. The list of transgressions continues to grow, so how can our members of Congress keep current with Articles of Impeachment--maybe by leaving space for the additional violations yet to occur!
I do hope you are right. I just think of our total disappointment in the 2024 election. So we need to not get ahead of ourselves and keep doing what we are doing and pray people turn out this time.
#1 BRAVO Governor Spanberger. As to the NRA suit against her: LOTS'A LUCK GUN NUTS.
I guess you have not noticed that the wind on this issue has shifted. All it took was a lot of innocent dead people.
#2 The "Handwriting on the wall" in ancient Babylon was "Mene, mene tekel upharsin" which David (?( translated: "You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting". READ IT TRUMP!
You go girl. Women can always get things done, when it comes to protecting our children and people of all ages. God Bless her. We are going to take back every department within our government and we are going to boot this asshole out of the White House. His approval rating is in the toilet and we arr going to win big in November.

Boom! Spanberger is coming in hot! Everything I wish I had in a governor.

It is about not allowing you to buy a weapon whose only use is to kill people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaagh!!!
Julian, I agree! And a weapon not just to kill people, but to blow away dozens at a time, FAST. It’s outrageous.
I like our governor (Shapiro - PA), but he could definitely do more. I guess his concern is the red vote in the middle of the state: remember that Pennsylvania is Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in the middle.
I'm in NE PA and I mostly like Shapiro. Pennsylvania is gun happy and fossil fuel crazy. He is beholden to both groups... sadly.
This is my biggest gripe, Shapiro pushing the data centers and crap we don't want or need. He's not terrible, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
It’s about money. Unfortunately, these lobbyists dazzle new Reps with $ and gifts.

Ditto, Ms Jonington!
I keep emailing Governor Hochul and telling her she needs to follow suit. But I get "thank you for your email" back. Governor Spanberger is my hero.
We are seeing more fierce women governors standing strong for the people. Spanberger is an outstanding example.
Amy Acton for OH!! We don't want you, Vivek!!!
Omg. Vivek 🤢
Yep.... he flies over the state in his jet while Amy is out there with the people, pounding the pavement and covering the state by car.
In her Jeep! 🚘
NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill has also signed legislation to prevent ICE overreach and to protect people in NJ from some of the horrors inflicted on Minnesota. Our assault rifle ban has existed for several years, and we are one of the safest states when it comes to gun violence.
Governor Spanberger has more courage and a stronger spine than anyone sitting on the red side of the Capital.
More than the red side of all America.
Heck yeah! This is pure resistance fuel. Big changes can happen fast. Buckle up, folks!
That’s right! Buckle up! “It’s the law”!
Here is to Ras Baraka and to Abigail Spanberger!
Here is to the Judges who have detected the administration’s lies!
I think that despite all the Supreme Court and Red state machinations (which are abominable- we MUST fix the Supreme Court with added seats and term limits!) the Democrats will win big in November. They MUST.
WE MUST! :-)
We cannot survive as a democracy with a partisan Supreme Court. They are destroying our constitution .
It is common sense gun safety. We must all vote Blue in November, and make sure we participate in local elections and anticipate and work against attempts at voter suppression.

Agreed. Polls are about as valuable as mood rings, IMO.
What do I hear coming in Nov? The Safarii's playing WIPEOUT!!!!
I do hope you are right. I just think of our total disappointment in the 2024 election. So we need to not get ahead of ourselves and keep doing what we are doing and pray people turn out this time.
:-) Ahh you are speaking to my teen years!!! Love it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpv1h3d7DQA
My husband a US Marine served in Vietnam said there was no purpose in hunting with AK47 etc and no purpose at all having them around otherwise.
I pray the those Trump poll numbers are accurate and that the Dems take both houses away from these republicans who are failing to represent us.

Given how inaccurate most data is now, I'd venture Trump is well under 30%.
