Trump ad to “defeat communism, Marxism in America once and for all,” before images of Trump at as a choir sings “Love Me.” At the end: “Paid for by the U.S. government.” This is “government propaganda” fitting for North Korea, “an egregious and illegal misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars.”

Satya Nadella: $96 million pay package. 22% raise. The median Microsoft worker: less than 4%. Microsoft profits: up 50% to $101 billion. Microsoft's tax rate: dropped from 21% to 2.4%. This is what "winners" look like in the rigged economy Trump built: CEOs win, workers lose.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Who is protecting from AI threats? Call for moratorium on new AI model releases. “We may have the smartest people in the world working on these A.I. models, but it is like Marie Curie handling radium with her bare hands,…We don’t know how to contain it, let alone how to safely test it.” #regulateAI
