Refusing an additional independent oversight doesn’t show an administration trying to secure our elections, rather the opposite and something they claim every time they lose. This shit happens in Russia, not here. truthout.org/articles/tru...

Trump “renames” AI into SI, artificial to super intelligence (tackling all the important issues). FYI, if you use the term SI, I’ll consider you the opposite of artificial intelligence, rather naturally dumb, (oh, remember, that’s with a b). www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Simple fact: the country “couldn’t afford” Biden’s plan to wipe out student loan debt ~ $23 billion, BUT we’ve conservatively spent $40 billion already on a war that has resulted in —> gas price increases, Iran controlling a key strait, and many lives lost (also no end in sight).
