Guys wake the f up. This is going to destroy us - sooner than we think - if we don’t make AI regulation a national priority tomorrow.
We believe this is the first documented case of a large-scale AI cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention. It has significant implications for cybersecurity in the age of AI agents. Read more:

When 35-year-old republicans got caught supporting Hitler in a group chat, JD Vance called them “kids.” When 15 year old children get sexually abused by the president and his pals, they called them “young women.” This is your republican party, Family Values and all

The COP process has been utterly compromised by the fossil fuel lobby for years The climate COPs have long been unfit for purpose, and - across 3 decades - have not stopped emissions climbing and have done next to nothing to demand fossil fuel use ends https://t.co/c3oYViwd7v

Just so we're clear, the DOJ is fighting AGAINST the California redistricting effort WHICH VOTERS APPROVED, but is fine with the Texas redistricting that occurred WITHOUT voter input. The corruption is real folks.

1. Raise tariff 2. Collect bribes 3. Reduce tariff It's really that simple. The challenge with describing the economic strategy of the Trump admin is that it's not an "economic" "strategy," it's a "create pain -> collect payoff" mafia formula run over and over again, and admin

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

I used to think the main damage from social media was to youth mental health. Now I believe that the global destruction of the human ability to pay attention may be even larger. A meta-analysis shows the damage, to adults as well as teens, from TikTok+ https://t.co/YS0dkQTdj0

The resurgence of short-form videos (SFVs), popularized by TikTok and Douyin, has transformed social media platforms, with features like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts fostering their widespread...
Bingeing TikTok reels may be hazardous to your well-being. 71 studies, >98k people: The more short-form videos teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and stress and anxiety. Read a book. Watch a movie. Long live longform.

Has there ever been a man who’s failed to meet the moment more than Chuck Schumer? Relentlessly, incessantly, unstoppably wrong at every turn, Schumer is going to go down in history as the worst Dem legislative leader in modern times, and it’s not even particularly close.

You don’t hate Chuck Schumer nearly enough
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates. The cave almost happened Thursday, AFTER the election. https://t.co/KVLxiZqlaY

The GOP won’t allow elections to happen. And when they do, they don’t allow the winners to be sworn in and seated. Be very worried about 2026 and 2028. Be very worried. This is now an openly and proudly anti-democratic party.
Eight months ago, Rep. Sylvester Turner D-TX died. His seat in the U.S. House is still vacant. On Tuesday, two Dems advanced to a runoff for that seat. When is the runoff?? We don't know. That runoff date still must be set by Gov. Greg Abbott.

NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more. I've got details for Climate-Colored Goggles:

She's a politician, running for Congress. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground. And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison. This is fascism. https://t.co/J7W7eG8oms

The progressive Democratic congressional candidate’s videos of confrontations with federal agents have fueled right-wing calls for her arrest.
