There's a #GOPWarOnHealthCare and it's important that everyone knows that the Republicans all voted to kick 11.8 million Americans off Medicaid coverage over the next few years and 1.2 million off the ACA with 7 million more to come. Vote Blue!

You've probably interacted with an LLM, the AI programs behind everything from ChatGPT to customer service chats. But as LLMs become widespread, it's important to remember their limitations, faults, and dangers. And while they produce human-like writing, LLMs are not human.

In many red states, it's simply a question of whether you can get Trump's endorsement. So we wind up with idiots like Eric Schmitt, Tuberville and Darline Graham, if she wins I mean, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker because Trump told them to, for G-d's sake. And he almost beat Ossoff

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Even the term “pocket rescission” is a misnomer since withholding funds through their expiration date is not a rescission, which must be approved by Congress. Instead, it’s an attempt to unilaterally cancel funds and go around the legally required process.
