So the AI companies want to be the ones to set the rules and Trump thinks that he’s the only person capable of setting the rules…
What they’re all saying is that Congress and the American people shouldn’t have a role. It’s an absolute insult to everyone who’s raising genuine concerns right now.

Where do we even begin with this?
It may be barely coherent, but it’s damn scary that Trump is gaslighting us about our genuine concerns about AI and that he is also clearly only interested in how much profit these technologies will make his billionaire friends.
Trump: "AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, & all other things bad, is a HOAX, no different from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA — UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE... & all of the other HOAXES & SCAMS that America was forced to endure through the Destructionists’ & Deviants’ foul play & illegal conduct."
Todd Blanche never stopped being Trump’s personal attorney, which is why he is trying to revive the so-called ‘anti-weaponization’ slush fund Trump wants for his January 6th insurrectionists.
Trump is trying to distract voters from his terrible record in office with empty promises of a $5,000 bribe check he has no authority to give.
There’s no excuse for us to have an affordability crisis in a nation as wealthy as ours.
It’s time for a change.
We’re in this together - we need to be focused on protecting the integrity of our elections and be loud about it.
I never thought I would see the President of the United States get a convention hall to swear allegiance to him - not to the country or some higher ideal.
All of us must speak out against this unbelievably disgusting rhetoric.
As the result of Republican abortion bans, women must now jump through even more hoops to get the urgent care needed to survive an ectopic pregnancy, and it’s having deadly consequences.
How is that "pro-life"?
Wishing Jews in Vermont and across world a very happy Rosh Hashanah as we come together to celebrate this evening.
May all our years be filled with health, happiness, and all things sweet! 🍎🍯
This was absolutely disgusting. It’s a dark day when threats of violence are front and center at a major party event without seemingly any push back from the elected officials in attendance.
We should all condemn this loudly and emphatically.
It’s hard to believe that it’s now been 25 years since 9/11/01.
When I was in New York City this week, I took a moment to reflect on the thousands of lives that were lost there, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania on that very dark day and in the years after.
You know he’s lying because the GOP has the House and Senate majorities right now. They could write a bill and pass it tomorrow if they wanted to!
Congress must urgently hold hearings on frontier research. The leaders of these massive AI companies owe us transparency about what they're doing.
We can’t afford to continue the Trump strategy of letting billionaires play with the safety of humanity.
I was proud to sign an amicus brief in this case and am pleased to see this news.
The D.C. Circuit unanimously agreed that you don't surrender your privacy when you pay taxes. The admin needs to stop punishing people who are following the law and stop breaking it themselves.
For me to best represent our state in DC, I need to hear directly from Vermonters.
Last week, we had an agriculture roundtable in Addison County to hear from folks who are working the land on what they’re experiencing and what they need from us to be able to keep doing this important work.
The time for burying our heads in the sand is over. If the people working directly on these technologies are saying this, it’s time to pump the brakes.
We can’t let these massive AI companies literally gamble with the future of humanity.
The @wsj.com is reporting that Lewandowski tried to get the Qataris and Emiratis to hire him "on the side" so he could help them with issues he had insider knowledge on.
Just blatant corruption from top to bottom in this administration. We will hold them accountable.
Federal funding will bring @benningtoncollege.bsky.social, @middlebury.bsky.social, @uvmvermont.bsky.social, @landmarkcollege.bsky.social, and state agencies together to research how forever chemicals are affecting our environment.
This is exactly the type of research our government should support.
So many Americans are avoiding the news right now. And I totally get it – it's rough out there!
But I do encourage you to use that time to lean into your communities 💪🏻
In case you missed it, the Pentagon was caught secretly raiding the NIH for funding.
How can the record-high DOD budget not be enough?? Secretary Hegseth, you should probably stop your war of choice in Iran if your department is so short on funds.
