Our @maxmoranhi.bsky.social argues that a revival of Congress's Office of Technology Assessment, which provided independent expertise on emerging tech, is needed now more than ever as "frontier" AI firms push Capitol Hill to legislate first, ask questions later. prospect.org/2026/09/18/a...

. 1st, the LYING IDIOT states his LIE as a fact & then dials it back saying, "If this is so," - why say that other than to cover his poopy ass? - And then the LYING IDIOT states it as fact again. All I can say about R-voters is they're very stupid or very R-brainwashed or both. Methinks it's both.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

There are no steps there. States control elections. The federal government has no control over elections at all. States elect their representatives to the federal government under state law. If a state wants to use marbles to decide a ballot issue that is 100% on the state.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.
STATEMENT BY ANGEL UREÑA
SPOKESMAN FOR FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S.
Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves.
However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this:
We need no such protection.
Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.
This includes, without limitation, any records that may exist and are subject to disclosure under the Act (Public Law 119-38 enacted Nov. 19, 2025), including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (as referenced under oath to Congress by President Trump's first-term Attorney General).
Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of Justice's actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation - using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties.
