[talking to the aid workers I fired from their jobs providing food and medical assistance to those in need in the U.S. and around the world] You fools, you absolute simpletons There’s “actually only one way” to widely address poverty or give people healthcare: a robot I haven’t made yet

I think the administration might be overreaching a bit on the “teachers bad” front

Trump administration officials & AI executives: All talking about how many hours they work like the most annoying 23-year-old grindset bro you know

Some people have been tiptoeing around it, but it's important for those who know to speak plainly. It's not partisan. The Secretary of Energy is lying to you, knowingly, brazenly, and constantly. He is lying *daily* in service of his boss and his pocketbook. The worst Sec of Energy in my lifetime.

If you care about US industrial strength If you care about good, middle-class jobs If you believe government should actually deliver for American communities (and not lie to them) The last six months should make you very, very angry

Reminder to all the energy folks bending over backwards to praise the Trump admin’s “AI dominance” plan, mere days after they torched US energy incentives, cancelled a transmission line, subjected solar projects to Burgum’s personal approval, and otherwise made it impossible to build new electricity

This is the least important aspect of the GOP poverty budget, but: I am simply amazed that they’ve chosen to call it BBB

I remember attending the papal visit to the White House in 2015 — the only one for Pope Francis. He pleaded for urgency on climate change: "When it comes to the care of our 'common home,' we are living at a critical moment of history.” To me, an inextricable part of the hopeful Obama era. RIP.

Published this a few days ago in the Indianapolis Business Journal and it's even truer today. This Administration does not actually care about manufacturing towns and the painstaking work they've done over the past few years. www.ibj.com/articles/han... No paywall: archive.ph/MWvJD

There is zero reason to do this. We don’t have to be this way

Article texts reads: “I need help for my father,” his 9-year-old son, who has learned English in the United States, told the Herald over audio messages. “My father is very nice with me.... My father is not bad people. My father is very, very good people.”

Truly haunting, rotten, soulless stuff www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Screenshot reading: An estimated 1,650,000 people could die within a year without American foreign aid for H.I.V. prevention and treatment.

Achol Deng, an 8-year-old girl, was also infected with H.I.V. at birth and likewise remained alive because of American assistance. Then in January, Achol lost her ID card, and there was no longer a case worker to help get her a new card and medicines; she too became sick and died, said Labani.

Yes, this may eventually save money for United States taxpayers. How much? The cost of first-line H.I.V. medications to keep a person alive is less than 12 cents a day.

Todd Young might consider asking why the Trump admin is planning to fire 500 NIST staff and gut the CHIPS Act, which he co-sponsored and was just defending in an op-ed earlier this month nationalinterest.org/blog/techlan... www.wired.com/story/the-na... www.computerworld.com/article/3832...

Sorry for the long reply, but gov staff and industry devoted many hours to DPA in the dark days of early 2022 when it seemed BBB/IRA wasn't going to pass, and this idea that Biden had money in hand to shore up the nation's grid but traded it away to appease an electrification non-profit is laughable

Every podcast is plastered with BP and Exxon commercials talking about American jobs from coast to coast, but they are just squeezing more oil out of a shrinking workforce. Which, fine, but the 2010s are over
