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.
So true. The fact that our president is attempting to change the constitution and help his billionaire friends, is crazy. How did we get to this place?
Agreed. When Obama beat Hillary Clinton, who was inarguably the most qualified person to ever run for president, a friend noted that this was proof that America was more misogynist that it was racist. When Kamala Harris, another indubitably better-qualified candidate, lost to a jacka$$ like Trump, it was further proof that America is deeply misogynist.
America will be deeply mature on the day MLK's dream of a Nation where people are judged by the content of their character is fully realized. Then, rather than in the news, history will be the only place for future generations to learn about misogyny and White supremacy.
Am I gonna let de-elevator bring me down? Oh no, not me!
That's bullshit, because the rest of the world isn't gonna stop development. All this will do is to put the US even more behind the eight-ball. The future of business is all about AI, and it requires huge amounts of capacity to do so. Instead, require developers to add significant energy resources and reduced energy costs as part of every deal, and require these facilities to process and recycle all cooling water used.
Bruce you have got to know that the whole point is to have us taxpayers pay for the huge amount of electricity and new power plants that these facilities are going to use. Billionaires never pay their fair share. That is how they stay billionaires. If Dems take back Congress, perhaps we can at least slow them down with environmental lawsuits, while we deal with guardrails on AI itself. The whole issue of using AI for all-purpose surveillance of all of us, has me very concerned. So glad that Bernie and AOL and Elizabeth Warren are keeping a light on AI!!!
The point is to get elected officials vote on the record to show who is willing to look the other way about all of the things that are illegal about the super fasttrack construction of these huge money draining and terrible for the environment facilities that will ruin the communities where they are being built. And that is to say nothing about how everyone's power bills are going to go through the roof to pay for all of the electricity that AI will be using if they ever are connected to the power grid. Or, that one of the main functions of AI will be to do surveillance of all of us!!!
This is not only the most corrupt, it’s the most annoying deal I’ve ever had to report on. And the story changed so many times this morning. Gotta be quick to stay on top of the grift. Great work, Scott.
Thank you, Sam and Scott, for your dogged reporting on this evil, corrupt regime. If we can figure out a way to freeze Trump's, his family's, and every other member of this regime's assets, while these grifts are under investigation or appeal, we might see them back off. But "How?" is the question...
Corruption at its best and at the highest level. t-RUMP needs to be removed from office and put in a tight strait-jacket and deposited in a locked padded cell, with only one meal a day, and definitely not from a fast-food joint.
This blatant theft of our tax dollars from a guy who doesn't pay any taxes has me so pissed I can't believe how pissed I am. All my Republican friends complaining about high taxes let this guy steal the money paid to them? And they run around claiming SNAP is all fraud. Give me a friggin break this is beyond disgusting. I am going to lose my shit. They are rushing to steal because if they lose the mid-terms the party of stealing all our money will be over. Wake the hell up Republicans you're destroying the country!
Agree, Patti. But specifically him, his family, and the rest of the regime and GOP congress need to be part of a prisoner exchange program as part of their sentences: We release all those currently in the concentration camp hellholes in exchange for Trump et al taking their places.
Charles Littlejohn, the person who leaked Donald Trump's tax returns, was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison for unauthorized disclosure of tax return information. The crime has been adjudicated. So why are taxpayers being held accountable? We need a class action to take this deal to court in the same way trump has so far avoided paying E.Jean Carroll.
Scott, that means Trump will pay the insurgents who attacked our Capitol on J6. The ones already convicted whom he pardoned! Please wake me up from this nightmare!
Julie, nothing surprises me about what the MAGA House Republican Representatives allow him to do. The writers of the Constitution never imagined a weaker Legislative body. Madison is rolling over in his grave.
They marched across a bridge where John Lewis bled, a rural Texas county told Big Tech to kick rocks, a governor torched a budget that stole food from kids to feed billionaires and somehow people are still asking if resistance is pointless.
History isn't made by the people who fold. It's made by the ones who don't.
I think so too! I so hope people realize that this regime is corrupt, stealing us blind, trying to destroy our democracy etc. and will vote BLUE big time! There are just a few too many Maggots in Congress right now to get them out until we have more Dems in there. Of course Fetterman needs to go too!
T will never have to worry about whether he’ll go down in history - since his history is already cemented as the most greedy grifter ever - But it would be nice to have him impeached.
This is without a doubt the most corrupt "regime" in American history. They are raping the land and allowing the government and especially the president and cabinet to fleece the rest of us. It is immoral and illegal, but SCOTUS is turning a blind eye. I hope there is something left in two years because the destruction is moving at warp speed. I'm trying to remain positive. It is not easy, but I'm not giving up.
I still wonder how these same people can’t stand up to Sedition/Fascism/paedophiles/rapists! Seriously..same technique only demand the seditionists be ousted!
Aside from the illegal unconstitutional slush fund, it is covering up traitor trump’s request to never be audited by the irs. That also includes his family and company. Like all his business he is bankrupting the US . I didn’t believe he was a Putin flunky, but Putin is thrilled with his actions.
SCOTUS should be ashamed of giving this grifter immunity.
It's hard to feel bad for the likes of Texas. To paraphrase what the immortal HL Mencken said, people deserve to get what they vote for and they deserve to get it good and hard.
Trump got caught and Patel got caught saying he would take a test to determine if he’s an alcoholic only if Senator Chris VanHollen did. He did and could be perjury.

But how does it get passed with Fascists in office?
So true. The fact that our president is attempting to change the constitution and help his billionaire friends, is crazy. How did we get to this place?
By re-electing him because too many voters are unwilling to vote for a woman for President. IMO.
Agreed. When Obama beat Hillary Clinton, who was inarguably the most qualified person to ever run for president, a friend noted that this was proof that America was more misogynist that it was racist. When Kamala Harris, another indubitably better-qualified candidate, lost to a jacka$$ like Trump, it was further proof that America is deeply misogynist.

Am I gonna let de-elevator bring me down? Oh no, not me!
I modified the letter, then sent it to Rutherford, my Congressman in Florida. He claims to be so pro-citizenry, but I have seen little proof of that!
That's bullshit, because the rest of the world isn't gonna stop development. All this will do is to put the US even more behind the eight-ball. The future of business is all about AI, and it requires huge amounts of capacity to do so.

Absolutely. Let’s start w building the data centers in Palo Alto, Westchester Co, and the Hamptons.
EXCELLENT.

Keep up the good work, Sam.

Agree. He should get the same meals as the troops engaging with Iran are getting!

The entire corrupt t-RUMP regime needs to be imprisoned for treason.
Agree, Patti. But specifically him, his family, and the rest of the regime and GOP congress need to be part of a prisoner exchange program as part of their sentences: We release all those currently in the concentration camp hellholes in exchange for Trump et al taking their places.
I totally agree with you.
Hell of an idea Julie‼️
I feel your pain and frustration, Paul. It is maddening.
I know I feel the same way
Charles Littlejohn, the person who leaked Donald Trump's tax returns, was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison for unauthorized disclosure of tax return information. The crime has been adjudicated. So why are taxpayers being held accountable? We need a class action to take this deal to court in the same way trump has so far avoided paying E.Jean Carroll.
Good point! And Charles Littlejohn should be pardoned, though Trump will never do that.
Scott, that means Trump will pay the insurgents who attacked our Capitol on J6. The ones already convicted whom he pardoned! Please wake me up from this nightmare!
Agree, Brenda. I wouldn't be surprised though if Trump promised to pay the insurrectionists AFTER the election, and then pocketed the money himself.
Julie, nothing surprises me about what the MAGA House Republican Representatives allow him to do. The writers of the Constitution never imagined a weaker Legislative body. Madison is rolling over in his grave.
Spot on, Brenda!
Oh, totally!
Nice post, Scott. Happy Monday!
They marched across a bridge where John Lewis bled, a rural Texas county told Big Tech to kick rocks, a governor torched a budget that stole food from kids to feed billionaires and somehow people are still asking if resistance is pointless.
History isn't made by the people who fold. It's made by the ones who don't.
👊 Keep punching!
Wish I could have been there! This is so disgusting! I think they are trying to not only take away Black people's vote but Democrats votes as well.
Oh yes Colleen! That is the point!!!
I think so too! I so hope people realize that this regime is corrupt, stealing us blind, trying to destroy our democracy etc. and will vote BLUE big time! There are just a few too many Maggots in Congress right now to get them out until we have more Dems in there. Of course Fetterman needs to go too!
Are we gonna be able to take a sledgehammer to this deal?? 🔨
I endorse this message. lol
Good one, Mike!
T will never have to worry about whether he’ll go down in history - since his history is already cemented as the most greedy grifter ever - But it would be nice to have him impeached.
It would be spectacular to have him impeached! ASAP! Vote BLUE!
This is without a doubt the most corrupt "regime" in American history. They are raping the land and allowing the government and especially the president and cabinet to fleece the rest of us. It is immoral and illegal, but SCOTUS is turning a blind eye. I hope there is something left in two years because the destruction is moving at warp speed. I'm trying to remain positive. It is not easy, but I'm not giving up.
This entire regime (not calling it an administration) needs to be hauled before the ICC. Criminals all!
I still wonder how these same people can’t stand up to Sedition/Fascism/paedophiles/rapists! Seriously..same technique only demand the seditionists be ousted!
Aside from the illegal unconstitutional slush fund, it is covering up traitor trump’s request to never be audited by the irs. That also includes his family and company. Like all his business he is bankrupting the US . I didn’t believe he was a Putin flunky, but Putin is thrilled with his actions.
SCOTUS should be ashamed of giving this grifter immunity.
Our government is compromised.
That $1.776 billion slush fund must be stopped. Honestly, it is highway robbery every single day with this corrupt regime! It has to stop!
It's hard to feel bad for the likes of Texas. To paraphrase what the immortal HL Mencken said, people deserve to get what they vote for and they deserve to get it good and hard.
May I say, a good many Texans do not vote Republican. And it appears to be moving in that direction, as the polls are showing.
I hope so! Texas, aside from being a beautiful state, has a liberal tradition that may be buried now but is still alive.
You betcha! There are more of us that you realize.
Trump got caught and Patel got caught saying he would take a test to determine if he’s an alcoholic only if Senator Chris VanHollen did. He did and could be perjury.
