“Millions of Americans are impacted by long Covid, and they deserve a federal government that will have their back,” Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine told Rolling Stone. “The Trump administration is not only failing to achieve those goals, but actively taking us in the wrong direction.”

And, if you didn't know: there's already a support group for victims of AI delusions and their loved ones. Thankfully, they have been here for Rachel over the past few months

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
