Paramount has agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview. The settlement comes right before the July 7th deadline for Trump's FCC to approve Skydance buying Paramount for $8 billion. This is the pay-to-play system under Donald Trump.

The Trump administration is withholding nearly $7 billion from after-school and summer programs. The Boys and Girls Clubs of America depend on some of the withheld money to run camps and other summer programming for low-income students. Without the money, some schools won’t be

Amazon is on the verge of having more robots than humans in its facilities. The multi-trillion dollar corporation has more than one million robots in its warehouses. That is the most it's ever had, and nearly equals the number of human workers.

NEW: Artificial general intelligence isn’t about curing cancer or American dominance. According to Open AI & Microsoft it’s about one thing – massive profits. And they’re engaged in a covert campaign to eliminate any regulation that might slow their path to consolidating power.

.@AOC:  "This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt. It militarizes our entire economy and it strips away healthcare and basic dignity of the American people. For what? To give Elon Musk a tax break, and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation."

We know what Trump's big bill will do, because he's done it before. In 2017 the GOP and Trump cut taxes for corporations from 35% to 21%, handing billions to the super rich. Now they want to do it again — pass the biggest transfer of wealth from workers to CEOs in history.

10,000 city workers in Philadelphia with @afscme33 are now on strike. The union was unable to reach a deal with the city on a new contract by last night's deadline. Workers are demanding better wages and job security and more substantial health benefits for all members.

Reporter: "Are you going to deport Elon?". Trump: "We’ll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies. Elon's very obsessed that the EV mandate is gonna be terminated."

UPDATE: The AI moratorium has been stripped from the bill. After initially being shortened to a five-year period, senators voted 99-1 to remove the ban entirely.
