Why is the trump Administration floating reversing course on AI?
Because their strategy of letting the industry run wild with no guardrails has resulted in massive backlash from the American public.
November is coming.
NEW- NEW- The White House is reversing course and considering vetting AI models before they are released. With @trippmickle.bsky.social @julianbarnes.bsky.social and @dustinvolz.bsky.social

Political violence is never the answer. Grateful no one was injured at the White House correspondents’ dinner. The shooter should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Thank you to the voters of Virginia for choosing to hold trump and Republicans accountable.
trump and Republicans chose to start mid-decade redistricting. Democrats chose to win it.
November is coming.
Virginia voters will approve a map that gives Democrats the chance to net as many as four US House seats, CNN's Decision Desk projects, in a major boost to the party's effort to flip the House. https://cnn.it/4w1wU6P
Inflation continues to rise. The producer price index (PPI) rose .5% from February and 4% from March 2025. The year-to-year increase was the biggest in more than three years.
What is trump focused on? Attacking the Pope and posting Jesus-like images of himself.
Congressional Republicans and trump have ushered in the Golden Age of Inflation.
Inflation accelerated to 3.3%.
And what do trump and Republicans want to do? Vote for even more spending in their proposed reconciliation bill.
Today I discovered having butter cake with stout beer. Tastes pretty amazing.
Inflation is up
Incomes are down
GDP growth lowered again to an anemic .5%
What has Vice President @JDVance been focused on? Campaigning in a foreign country for a foreign politician who is a puppet of Putin.
Congratulations to Democrat Chris Taylor for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court election!
Every time there has been an election last year and this year, the Democratic candidate way over performs.
There will be a blue tsunami this November.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -trump
Only one class of weapons can prevent a civilization from being brought back: nuclear weapons.
The Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment, now.
Happy Easter!
Every military strategist understands Sun Tzu’s observation: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
trump just announced with a bullhorn his greatest weakness in this war. Iran suspected, but now knows, what trump fears.
Everyone knew the US military can obliterate any country.
But what the war in Iran showed is that our military and allies cannot defend our own bases or assets from a second tier military, especially in a prolonged conflict.
We need an entirely new defense strategy, particularly for Indo-Pacific.
Rep Jared Huffman is one of the smartest and most courageous Members of Congress. I just purchased his book NO PROPHETS: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. You can too by clicking the link below.
This is a critical issue and I’m so pleased Rep Huffman is addressing it head on.
After three years of work, I’m holding the very first copy of my debut book: NO PROPHETS: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism — out August 18 from @wwnorton.com.
More to come soon, but for now… you can pre-order here: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324130482
