Klobuchar: "The fact that when people are hurting this much and literally can't pay their bills & insurance premiums, that he then spends govt money instead of to help people pay for their insurance, on an ad to glorify himself. They are making the connection now on corruption and affordability."

Hey TN media— will anyone ask @MarshaBlackburn why she ducked 🦆 Jack Smith after whining about him for YEARS? A TVA photo op instead of doing her job on Judiciary committee🤔? Did she not want to remind us she tried to pocket MILLIONS from taxpayers over him doing HIS job? 🤷🏼‍♀️

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?

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.
