Republicans keep saying Congress doesn’t need to regulate AI because Big Tech can regulate itself. This is just another form of deregulation under Trump, where financial gains go to the top while the risks and losses trickle down to the rest of us.

Particularly bizarre during conflict. Not unusual for incompetent leadership to cut middle management due to paranoia re: their own incompetence. A COMPETENT leader typically collects data before making any RASH decisions; but, Hegseth has long demonstrated poor understanding of basic practices.

As DoD continues to be assaulted by this admin & Hegseth, it is important to understand the following: There is no such thing as a "good" soldier; instead, there is the WISE soldier, worth remembering for embodying a commitment AND CARE for the People—without whom a nation cannot thrive.

The firestorm of age-verification laws have done almost nothing to prevent minors from accessing porn online. What they have done is give the state a powerful tool to harass speech they don't like by declaring it pornographic or "harmful to minors."

Sign that reads: Of the People, not above the people. "Of" and "not above" are emphasized.Sign that reads: If you don't work for US, then you're fired! "US" is in red, white, and blue; and, "You're fired" is emphasized in capitals and red.
