Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

A lot of people are speculating that this will lead to the US government having to bail out AI companies but there's no world where that happens and the government bond market doesn't completely collapse and cause a fiscal crisis.

No matter what McGuire says, he has gutted rural healthcare with no real remedy. When the Big Ugly Bill's Medicaid cuts fully hit, thousands of hardworking Virginians will lose healthcare or be unable to afford it. The so-called "Rural Health Transformation Fund" is a band-aid on a bullet wound.

Mary Allen Wilkes is a pioneering computer scientist, logic designer, and attorney. She is celebrated for writing the foundational system software for the LINC (1960s), which is widely recognized as the world's first personal computer. She was born #OTD in 1937 & is 89 today. #WomenInSTEM #CompSci
Photograph of Mary Allen Wilkes (born 1937), the pioneering computer scientist, logic designer, and attorney renowned for writing the foundational operating system software for the LINC, the world's first personal computer. She is shown from the chest up, facing slightly to her right with an open, engaging expression and a warm smile. She has short, styled white hair and wears thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles. Her attire features a layered ensemble: a dark grey or taupe turtleneck sweater paired with an open black cardigan jacket. She wears a prominent, tiered statement necklace consisting of three nested strands of oblong black, grey, and cream beads.The backdrop is an understated, minimalist office or lecture setting with pale beige walls and a dark vertical partition line visible on the left. In the lower right corner, the glossy edge of a modern laptop screen is partially visible, hinting at a professional presentation or speaking engagement. The overall composition is clean and centered, creating an approachable, intellectually distinguished mood that underscores her lasting historical significance as an elder stateswoman of computer science and law.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
