Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

ICE is burning through cash so quickly, it could run out of money next month. Another twisted White House pressure tactic: Congress either passes the “Big Beautiful Bill” now OR Trump will declare a national emergency and redirect money to ICE from elsewhere in the government…

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says.

Hey, OpenAI and Grok make disinformation worse. Spread the word. #LAprotests

NEW: Judge Breyer balks at Gavin Newsom's request to block the Trump admin's use of the National Guard and Marines TODAY. He orders briefing tomorrow, followed by hearing Thursday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm thrilled that @restofworld.org has excerpted one of my favorite passages from EMPIRE OF AI. It's not about Sam Altman or OpenAI directly. It's about what their vision of scale is costing us—and how we could dare to dream for a different conception of progress. 1/ restofworld.org/2025/ai-reso...

Another loss in court for Trump Admin. Federal judge rules Trump's executive order targeting the law firm WilmerHale is unconstitutional and permanently blocked the administration from enforcing it

Microsoft’s Build developer conference has been interrupted by a protester for the second day in a row. “Jay! My people are suffering!” said the unnamed tech worker. “Cut ties! No Azure for apartheid! Free, free Palestine!”

Anyone else wondering what Sam Altman / OpenAI are planning instead??

It's well beyond time the UK ban foreign political donations, don't you think? Runcorn and Helsby 👀 #NigelFarage #ReformUK

NEW STUDY found that “the growing number of SUVs reduced the vehicle capacity of freeway lanes in Minnesota’s Twin Cities by 9.5% between 1995-2019. Their findings suggest yet another way in which ‘car bloat’ exacerbates problems that affect everyone, regardless of how they travel.”

Does this make me a PANICAN’T?

CNBC just reported that they got Karoline Leavitt on the phone who stated that any talk of a 90-day tariff pause was "fake news."

Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.

This is what a coup looks like in the digital age. #MuskIsPresident #OligarchEra #StopMusk

Some astonishing numbers in here: -OpenAI loses $2 for every $1 it makes -OpenAI projects annual losses of $14 billion by 2026 -To break even OpenAI needs to increase revenue 25x in just 5 years -33% of VC portfolios are committed to AI -5 AI-heavy stocks account for 29% of the S&P 500's value

For those keeping score, Newark's "progressive" House reps, Reps. Gorman and Romer, both voted heartily (& reportedly, volubly) in favor. Worth keeping their friendly support of billionaires in mind as Musk et al. strip-mine Social Security, kill universities, & zero-out Medicare. Roll call:

Sorry! That was the senate, here's the House Roll call on SB 21, final:

Well, the deal is done, & the Delaware House passed SB21, 32-7, amending the corporate code to fit the demands of billionaires (Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.) I wasn't able to watch the debate, but am reliably informed that it added insult as well as injury to the people of Delaware. Final version:

Delaware lawmakers are trying to rush this bill through because they know just how bad it would be if enough people found out. Don't let them get away with it. #SB21

Spread the word about SB 21: #StopSB21 #StopMusk

Yep, if SB 21 passes it'd erase key shareholder rights & make it nearly impossible to hold reckless corporate controllers legally accountable. Have a retirement account, pension, global fund, etc? There's a good chance you're invested in a Fortune 500 incorporated in Delaware. This impacts you.
