BlueFairyVA wonders whether the people Meta closed down on Facebook at the height of the No King’s actions Saturday will ever reconsider their slavish devotion to Zuckerberg’s signature creation? When they tell you - and show you - who they are, believe them. #dafuq

Congress passed a law forcing new sanctions and tariffs on Russia. Two days before it kicked in, Trump signed an order waiving it. Read that twice. Then ask who the law was for. Trump is a Russian asset.

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥

We had a great turnout for our Data Center Town Hall at Lord Botetourt High School Thursday night, where folks heard insightful ideas from our panel, asked good questions and engaged in a reasonable, rationale conversation over a controversial subject.

The AI elimination of jobs is starting small: 3000 jobs in a huge company like Kroger? So what? But what were those jobs? And which jobs are next? Kroger is one of the main grocers in my area. This info gives me a huge incentive to spend my food dollars elsewhere.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

NEW: Inflation data came in and Donald Trump’s failed economic agenda has raised prices for Americans by 5.9%. That means families are paying $3,772 more thanks to inflation under Trump.
