On the same day Trump announces that top tech firms have signed an accord to "self-police" their own AI development, we learned that OpenAI employees and security researchers were reportedly ignored when they brought safety concerns to the company's top executives. See the problem here?

Forbes says more than $11.6 trillion in U.S. debt was added under Trump, while crypto and foreign deals poured over $1 billion into his pockets. You pay the interest. Trump pays off his mortgages. That is corruption hitting your wallet. #CorruptTrumpRegime #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Americans have long been told Republicans are better for the economy. But postwar data shows real GDP grew far faster under Democratic presidents, while average federal deficits—the borrowing that adds to the debt—were larger under Republicans.

On Trump's claims of massive voter fraud in Michigan: FBI closed the investigation stating “the investigation to date did not identify a criminal violation or a priority threat to national security.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...
This investigation has been well known to the public. In October of 2020, the local clerk in Muskegon told local media that her office caught hundreds of “irregular” voter registration applications, but that none of the voter registration forms that had been flagged as “irregular” had resulted in any ballots being sent out incorrectly.

The matter was referred to the police. In 2023, local media reported that state officials in Michigan had found evidence that scores of 2020 voter registration applications in Muskegon were “clearly fraudulent.” But they did not attempt to bring charges against individuals or the organization because the investigation had been referred to the F.B.I.
