Don Jr. & Eric have major investments in data centers and AI infrastructure. Don. Jr's firm 1789 Capital also has shares in major tech companies working in AI. Donald's own stock portfolio itself is heavily invested in Big Tech stocks. When Trump says AI doesn't need guardrails, follow the money.

This is what Trump is excusing when he says of Xi that “we spy on them too” — “Before Iran carried out its attack that killed 3 US troops, Tehran acquired images of the base in Jordan from China … It’s clearest evidence so far that Chinese support for Iran has had lethal consequences for US forces”

The case for taking Gov. Jeff Landry seriously — as a beatable incumbent
Louisiana’s Republican governor has money, incumbency, and no declared opponent. He also has weak numbers, voter distrust, and a political climate that may be turning against him.

There’s fresh evidence that the White House hatched a scheme to punish an American state because it didn’t free a convicted felon the president likes. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” a federal judge said. “I’ve never even imagined something like it.” Why isn't this a bigger scandal?

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Donald Trump lifted sanctions against Israeli settlers who are seizing homes in the West Bank. Now, the violence is worse, and even more Palestinians—and four Americans—have been killed by settlers and security forces. This is deeply wrong. These families deserve justice.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Lunacy. Here's Emmer 10 years ago.
A decade ago, Emmer created a Congressional Somalia Caucus with then-U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison. When people in St. Cloud called for a moratorium on Somali immigrants, he pushed back, calling the proposed ban “un-American.”

“If you’re asking me how I feel about immigrant populations who are in this country legally, and who are actually trying to find a better way for themselves and their families, I support it wholeheartedly,” he said at a town hall in 2015. 

 Minnesota has the largest population of Somali-Americans in the U.S.
