@slotkin.senate.gov Not sure why I am receiving communications about protecting college athletes and not about what you and your fellow senators are doing to protect all of us from AI data centers and AI overreach. Please tell me you have a plan for senate hearings about AI!?!?!

I've never felt more like an English major than when I described the Doll Discourse as a metaphor. (I didn't get good grades in my high school English classes.) But I felt comfortable because it's a metaphor for a very economic idea: Tariffs mean we're all going to get by with less.

Even with DOGE cuts, the U.S. has spent $166 billion more than last year
Defense and immigration spending and continued strain on Social Security and Medicare have added $196 billion to the deficit in the fiscal year so far.

15 House Republicans are sounding the alarm over recent staffing cuts and plans for more cutbacks across the Social Security Administration. They’re pressing SSA chief Frank Bisignano to hold off on any more cuts that could “further deteriorate customer service that has been subpar in recent years.”

Even the law recognizes that sex w/a 10 yr old is rape. It's always rape. But making that 10 yr old carry her rapists baby is evil. It's always evil. A child cannot raise a baby, as a 10 yr old cannot work. So legally the rapist can take the baby. A diabolical system created by Republicans #MomSky

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement
An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com
