Trump refused to sign a bipartisan bill to build more housing. Why? Because there was nothing in it for him. No Trump Tower. No ballroom. No gold-plated anything with his name. But the new housing law will lower costs—even without Trump’s signature.

El-Sayed: "They think they want to use my whole name against me. Mike, listen man, If you can't say the name -- it's Abdulrahman -- keep the name out your damn mouth."

Nearly $70 million dollars and the centrists still couldn't beat him.

NEW: Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan! Together, we will keep this seat blue and send Abdul to the Senate.

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

We need to stop both KOSA and SCREEN Act, like I said, "We fight, riot, protest, boycott & war until it's officially over, and get our freedom back." stopkosa.com badinternetbills.com fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop-the-screen-act actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-the-screen-act?nowrapper=true

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!
