Instead of a commander-in-chief, we now have a day trader-in-chief. More trades have been made for Trump than all of Congress COMBINED in the last 17 months. Ban stock trading for Congress and the president.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

'In certain instances of the agent activity, OpenAI said the tools "bypassed" security controls of some websites.' When done by humans, it's called criminal hacking. When done by bots owned by billionaire tech bros, it's merely "concerning". 🙄 www.bbc.com/news/article...

OpenAI said its bots accessed public data from a range of institutions during test exercises.

There are 28 operational data centers in Raleigh/Durham and 26 in Charlotte (with 10 more being built). I doubt any of them got the email I just did.

Screenshot of an email I just got from Duke Energy asking me to help reduce demand on the electric grid by conserving energy use from 2 PM through 8 PM today.

Screenshot of a map.showing data center locations and density in North Carolina. There are dots all over the state, but lots of bigger dots overlapping with one another in the Raleigh-Durham area and in Charlotte.

It's disgraceful enough of Donald Trump to skip the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, but to go golfing in Ireland instead—just to promote one of his properties—shows Trump's contempt not just for this solemn anniversary, but also for decency itself.

ICE collected the DNA of nearly a million people last year, adding their genetic profiles to a database used for criminal investigations. Under current rules, DHS only needs to place a person in detention to collect their DNA — a practice many argue is unconstitutional.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.
