So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

With the Amazon strike, it's important to know that there are *at least* 32.4 million low-wage workers in the US whose employers use AI to decide who gets hired and fired, to set their pay, and to surveil and manage them. The use of AI makes work more dangerous, unstable, and unfair. Our report:
