New in PN: Republicans want unregulated AI. What could go wrong? "If the government is forced to step aside thanks to Trump's big bill and simply puts its faith in the good sense and public-spiritedness of the Silicon Valley elite, America’s future will become even more enshittified."

publicnotice.coRepublicans want unregulated AI. What could go wrong?A provision in Trump's big bill would eliminate state-level regulation for 10 years.

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

Trump just shut down the DOJ's unit that investigates crypto fraud. Remember: Trump and his inner circle stand to profit from their crypto investments and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag. It's a new Golden Age for corruption.

The US Senate has just voted 51-48 to end Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Four Republicans (Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul) voted with Democrats to pass the resolution. The House must still pass it.

Warner, with Gabbard and Ratcliffe sitting in front of him: "If this was the case of a military officer or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired."

The United States didn't originate rounding up minorities who've been stereotyped & villainized in propaganda for the greater population, and then, without legal hearings, transporting them to another country, where they can be mistreated (or worse) away from the prying eyes of the press or public.

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Paula Colby reposted

Replying to @altnps.bsky.social

The destruction of these documents is particularly significant, as they are relevant to multiple court cases against the Trump admin and USAID. These cases are related to mass firings, relocation of employees, the rapid dismantlement of the agency, and a freeze on nearly all foreign aid funding.

Many prominent Republicans have spoken out about how Trump’s Ukraine policy is wrong, makes the world less safe, and is causing more death to men, women & children. But not one will say his name while doing so. They are that morally bankrupt. And that afraid of him.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” erasing $4 billion in additional savings that the group said it had made for U.S. taxpayers.

nytimes.comStruggling With Errors, DOGE Deletes Billions More From List of SavingsFor the second time in a week, Elon Musk’s government overhaul effort updated its “wall of receipts” to remove mistakes that inflated its success.

No, Elon Musk’s tweets are NOT lawful executive decrees Under the Constitution, anyone with his power MUST be confirmed by the Senate We are fighting in court to establish that redline as I explained @msnbc.com

Jeffries: In fact, costs aren't going down, costs are going up. Grocery prices are going up, inflation is going up. Republicans are crashing the economy in real-time.

Paula Colby reposted

Jeffries: "Republicans are not the party of fiscal responsibility. Stop trying to convince the American people otherwise. In fact, during Trump's first 4 years, the debt exploded to such a degree that 25% of our nation's debt came from just the first term of President Donald Trump."

Paula Colby reposted

Jeffries: And don't come to the house floor and act like this was being done in the fiscal responsibility. Enough. There is nothing in the Republican track record to suggest to the American people that you are the party of fiscal responsibility. Absolutely nothing.

The GOP's strategy:  1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat.  They're trying it again this week. Don't let them get away with it.

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

The way predatory people like Musk operate is they get their foot in the door incrementally. Just comply with my email, what’s so hard about that? Then when people give in because they don’t want a hassle, he owns you. Then he comes back next time demanding something much worse.

That everyone is just sitting back watching private citizens openly hacking into government systems shows what dangerous times we live in. That their made-up “agency” is named after a canine internet meme shows what stupid times we live in.
