There is no good outcome from this. They will destroy it, then privatize it. Just like everything they do. And it will not be cheaper. and it will be worse. They do not care.

The Trump regime's new AI assistant confirmed Donald is a convicted felon, Biden won the 2020 election, and Trump is in the Epstein files before it stopped answering political questions.

Trump has... -Run blatantly political ads using taxpayer money -Shuttered a longstanding arts & culture institution because he can’t put his name on the building -Hung banners with his face on them from a government building If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

it's not the device(though the device makes it possible), it is the corporate, capitalist control of what we engage with via algorithms(I want to spell it algorhythms) that's the true problem. The internet only works if it is free.

As if they weren't bad enough, AI data centers — which Trump strongly supports — could drive a surge in "forever chemical" production. And that's after Trump's EPA already approved new forever chemical pesticides and rolled back limits on them in our drinking water. "Make America Healthy Again."

4 MILLION people have already lost food aid since the Republican tax package became law. That includes over 1 MILLION CHILDREN. In October, states will have to pay 75% of SNAP costs themselves—forcing them to slash the program or raise taxes. Unconscionably cruel.

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.
