Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Americans for Tax Fairness @4taxfairness.bsky.social · 2h
The Trump corporate tax cut will cost $600 BILLION in lost federal revenue. For every $100 of it, $75 went straight to the wealthiest 5% of households and foreign investors. The bottom 80% of Americans got $10. That is not trickle down. That is a heist.

In Nov, the rights of Missourians to get abortion care — which has been slowly becoming more available after a 2024 vote to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution — may come screeching to a halt. Republicans are intent on reversing that vote with a deceptive ballot measure.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1951: The Sojourners for Truth and Justice begin a three-day assembly in Washington, D.C., with a march and silent vigil on the White House lawn. More than 132 Black women from 14 states arrived in the capital to demand federal action against racial terror. /1
Members of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice gather during their initial mobilization, Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, 1951. More than 132 African American women from 14 states descended on the nation’s capital to demand an end to racial violence, Jim Crow laws and the systemic oppression of Black women. While the poor quality of the photo makes it difficult to pinpoint every face from left to right, several core organizers and notable figures are prominent in the center-front cluster: Louise Thompson Patterson, Charlotta Bass, Shirley Graham Du Bois and Eslanda Goode Robeson. Other trailblazing figures who participated in the Washington, D.C., delegation included legendary activist Mary Church Terrell, journalist Claudia Jones and a young Lorraine Hansberry, who read the group’s manifesto aloud during the convention.

• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.
