After turning Grok into 4chan, Musk is getting a $200M AI contract from the Pentagon. I'm an Intel Committee member. We face many real threats on many fronts. This isn't the kind of “intelligence" we should be relying on to protect our national security—or subsidizing with taxpayer dollars.
The GOP's Big Ugly Bill funds ICE more than the FBI. America's top investigative agency under Trump is ICE—not the FBI. That's insane. They wanted people to think this was all about catching murderers and child abusers, but that's not what ICE is focused on. Now they're gutting the agency that is.
Elon Musk bringing xAI to Memphis has raised serious concerns about the potential health risks from the facility’s turbine emissions, and over its exorbitant use of energy and water. We must protect the health of our people and preserve our natural resources. More w/ Wolf Blitzer on @cnn.com ⬇️
Musk said he was making Grok “less woke.” Then it started praising Hitler. That’s not AI gone rogue, it’s AI reflecting the person behind it: a chainsaw-waving billionaire who tosses out Heil Hitler salutes while dismantling programs for working people and pocketing taxpayer-funded subsidies.
Transparency in the Epstein investigation should start with Trump's role. His AG directed the search of Epstein’s townhouse, and he & his successors haven't commented on or released an inventory of that search. Now his DOJ shut it down. Release the files. All of them. The people deserve the truth.
Bill Barr ordered the raid on Epstein's townhouse. It always seemed to me like there were reasons for that search—and items seized—that were never made public. While others ducked, I asked former FBI Director Wray for the truth. The American people deserve it, I'm going to keep pressing for it.

President Donald Trump announced that he plans to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil, citing in part the treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a political al… Tariffs are supposed to be about our economy NOT TRUMP interfering in a sovereigns justice system. WAYS OF A DICTATOR

Elon Musk has turned Grok into a megaphone for antisemitism—spewing Nazi tropes, praising Hitler, and echoing white nationalist message boards. He said he was making it “less woke.” Instead he's turning it into 4chan. AI reflects the intelligence behind it—in this case, Musk. A scary warning.

Our National Institutes of Health are our true Department of Defense. Despite their claims to the contrary, the Trump Administration’s cuts to NIH funding are slowing research, delaying care, and altering students’ and researchers’ career paths. Our leadership in health research will be diminished.
Nearly 70 dead in Texas floods as families of missing wait and hope - The Wall Street Journal Trump/Repubs think we don’t need FEMA,NOAA,NAT’L WEATHER SVC. TOTALLY WRONG!!
Even in challenging times like this, I hope you’re able to find some joy this 4th of July and take a moment to reflect on the values of freedom, equality, and justice that still make our country worth fighting for — because this fight isn’t over. Happy Independence Day to all.
