President Trump’s AI order is an attempt to kill responsible safety reforms passed by states, which would create a lawless Wild West environment for AI companies that puts Americans at risk. This is a terrible idea. My statement:

So this is just finishing the reclassification process Biden started.

They want to withhold federal money for a state’s infrastructure if the state has a law that protects its residents from the downsides of AI.

Thread:

Turns out, people don’t like to give in to threats to their state.

one thing that doesn’t get enough coverage or comment with regards to this administration is it how much it hates the actually existing united states

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

Still trying to understand how the guy who introduced this is the guy some of y’all wanna primary because he’s not “fighting” or “meeting the moment” enough. Rep. Goldman introduced the damn bill to force the masks off.

still thinking of the Smart Bros nodding sagely and saying how it's a terrible tactical mistake for dems to raise the salience of immigration

This is cool.

The House overturned one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders for the first time, passing a bill that restores federal workers’ bargaining rights.

Since Democrats passed the ACA in 2010, millions gained access to quality health care for the first time. Meanwhile, Republicans haven’t proposed a serious health care plan in decades. Forgive me if I doubt Republicans are “ready” to make health care more affordable.

The Democratic National Committee will run ads Thursday on the home pages of newspapers in a quartet of Republican senators’ hometowns, calling on the incumbents up for reelection next year to support a Democratic bill to extend health care subsidies, reports @fischler.bsky.social.

Republicans just voted to let ACA subsidies expire, forcing millions to choose between groceries or healthcare. This is shameful! Families can’t survive on a $1,500 HSA coupon. We need real, lasting solutions to rising healthcare costs, NOT political stunts. Voters won’t forget! seiu.co/4iQUNaN

Susan Collins votes for the GOP plan to kill the very ACA subsidies she keeps telling us she supports. The bill, which would push millions into expensive high deductible plans, would also make abortion coverage unattainable for millions of women. All fine by Collins, apparently. #MEpolitics

WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys? GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

This is why Trump & Vance are so insistent on Republicans in Indiana & elsewhere choosing their own voters through mid-decade partisan gerrymandering instead of allowing voters to choose their elected officials in 2026. They know they're facing a tsunami of opposition to their authoritarianism.

Thanedar to Noem: "You lied to me under oath"

Rep. Smith: We worked very hard over the course of the last 80 years to build a world that wasn't just about the most powerful nations subjugating the less powerful. Having that type of world led to almost the destruction of the planet. Trump wants to erase all of that.

NOEM: DHS and this administration comply with all federal court orders THANEDAR: Not true

THANEDAR: It is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring federal orders? NOEM: We always comply with all federal court orders THANEDAR: I'm sick of your lies

A Single Black mom needs help with an overdue gas bill after unexpected circumstances left her in a terrible place. As winter approaches she'd like to be able to keep the heat on for her family. Let's each give $1 to reach her goal. We've helped 202 people so far, let's keep going.

Narrator: The CHIPS act was bipartisan legislation (Ted Cruz was a co-sponsor) supported by a panoply of tech leaders that is responsible for many of the high tech jobs Trump is trying to take responsibility for.

Durbin: "Any president before he engages in act of war has to have the authorization of the American people through Congress ... this president is preparing for an invasion of Venezuela. Simply said. And if the American people are in favor of that, I'd be surprised."

Doug Burgum lies that renewable energy is "worse for the planet, worse for the environment, and it drives up your electric prices"

You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...

Ossoff: "This is one of the most consequential votes this Senate will take all year. By saying yea or nay to the clerk of the Senate later today, senators will decide whether people live or die. Senators will decide whether Georgians & folks across the country are financially ruined or have a shot."

THOMPSON: You blamed the shooting of Guardsmen solely on Joe Biden. Who approved the asylum for this same person? KRISTI NOEM: This individual that came in--- THOMPSON: No. I want to know who approved---- NOEM: *keeps talking over Thompson* T: I don't want to file perjury charges against you

The DNC released ads Thursday morning targeting Sen. Susan Collins over health care, its first round of Senate campaign ads this cycle. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

Sen. Ossoff: I'm not hearing anything concrete from the GOP. They can't bring themselves to support something that's associated with the ACA. And as a result, they're gonna make a decision that is literally going to result in Americans dying, and for many more Americans facing financial hardship.

Lying to destroy the environment is from the playbook of Big Oil.

Host: 63% of registered voters disapprove of Trump's tariffs. But here's how Trump brushes that objection off— 'The smart people understand it.' So if you're one of the 63% who oppose the tariffs, apparently you are just not smart enough to understand it.

Mpls Mayor Jacob Frey: "What we are seeing again & again is discrimination only to the extent that it applies to certain groups. So they're discriminating only as it applies to Latinos and Somalis ... you can't do that. You can't do that in Minneapolis. You can't do there anywhere in this country."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

The truth: inflation is up because of President Trump’s tariffs.

Republicans have a choice today: They can vote to extend health care for millions of Americans. Or they can choose to raise health care costs on millions of Americans. It’s really that simple.

Standing in front of a sign that says affordability doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have no plan to tackle the affordability crisis—because they refuse to even admit it exists.

Democratic Reps. Sam Liccardo and Ayanna Pressley sent a letter to the board of Warner Bros. Discovery, threatening to unravel any potential takeover of the media giant by Paramount Skydance when the party retakes Congress or the White House.

In an unfortunate but completely predictable turn of events, they managed to mess up a good thing.

“Pro-life” group says it will score a vote for what is actually a pro-life policy, ACA subsidy extensions, against Republicans if they don’t also vote for abortion restrictions. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump & Vance are literally banning the use of the word women but not banning the use of the word men. The toxic masculinity administration.

Last night’s “affordability” rally was a gift to the Democrats. Trump championed austerity and said tariffs are making farmers rich. Midterm ads will replay it nonstop. You will not find a single farmer who says they got rich from his tariff policy.

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations. The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.
