I think this needs to be on people’s radar more, if only because in their psychology Texas is not a place where voters compete to see who is in control, it’s a core GOP possession and losing that possession will be seen as a direct and existential attack.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

“AN ALL-OUT WAR ON WILDLIFE!” Trump Administration Directive Legalizes Incidental Killing Of Endangered Species!
Conservation advocates are expressing outrage following a recent move by the Trump administration that critics claim undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and threatens the survival of America's most vulnerable wildlife populations. This week, a coalition of environmental organizations updated their legal challenge against the administration's decision to alter the regulatory definition of "harm" under the ESA. The lawsuit, originally filed in July, contends that the government's new interpretation allows for incidental killings of endangered species, a change that has been labeled as an "all-out war on wildlife."

Judge rules PresidentTrump lacks constitutional authority to fire court-appointed U.S. attorneys. The decision reinstates Seattle prosecutor Roger Rogoff and halts administration efforts to bypass the Senate confirmation process with political loyalists.

Judge rules Trump can’t fire court-appointed prosecutors
The ruling is a major loss for Trump’s effort to install loyalists in key positions.

If you're wondering why they don't go to court with their high paid lawyers for an easy win, it's because this allows Google to bribe Trump. All the big players are way over their skis on AI investment and are sure they will need a bailout at some point. It's 2009 but for tech instead of housing
