Alex Karp of Palantir says the AI industry must be nationalized to protect it from lawsuits if it accidentally destroys the world. More likely, he sees the bubble about to burst and he wants to be bought out with our tax dollars before that happens.

Trump announces that the U.S. will allow 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported and that it would be sold at 25 percent below market prices. All of this comes as Trump warns about the dangers of socialism and communism.
Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Missed this part earlier: The billionaire bro boss of the Forest Service took planes away from *fighting real fires* and sent them to douse a dinky little fire next to his mega-ranch. What exactly is the law here? Bc I think Mr. Billionaire Bro isn’t going to enjoy it.

There’s almost a culture of ladder-pulling with all the prominent MT Dems: Tester, Bullock and Schweitzer. They peaced out and didn’t line up a back bench or train others to campaign successfully. There’s no continuity or momentum and every election is like a surprise where we start from scratch.

What's really bothering me is that the Independent candidate's boosters had no real plan to deal with the Democratic candidate. No matter who won the nomination, their only options were either BULLY or BUY the Dem out of the Senate race. Not how you build a coalition. #mtpol

Sharing my op-ed from last week. I'll be voting for Alani Bankhead. Bodnar is a good guy, but until we have RCV he cannot win this election. Bodnar would split the Democratic vote while the republicans will vote for the republican. #mtpol #mtnews #mtsen billingsgazette.com/opinion/colu...

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.
