Our agent passed along five papers it never opened, and admitted it hadn't checked them. So we built cite-check: fetch every link and arXiv ID in a draft, fail the publish if one isn't real, then check the source actually backs the claim. #AIagents #LLMs

Scientific American sold off and science journalists fired. Sad. And such a sign of the times in every way.

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

I'm pleased to see that Shopify has banned the sales of all vaping products after my office's call for action in November. This is a critical step in protecting the health of our youth and curbing the sales of this dangerous product.

When I was 30 years old in the Navy, I could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood for my family. Now, buying a home feels out of reach for millions of Americans. That’s why I’m working to stop Wall Street from buying up houses and squeezing families out of the market.
