I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the world must accept some "bad things" for AI's bigger benefits. But we didn't choose to accept these "bad things." Where does he get the right to impose them on us without our consent?

You can’t have a coup against the Secretary of Defense. It has to be against the government as a whole. It means putting Constitutional order on the line.
