I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

We're proud to be an inaugural member of the Blue Collar Brigade! From coast to coast, working people are standing up and running for public office. Proud to stand with @kaelaberg, @VoteBobBrooks, @SamForstag, and @Villegas_CA22 as we work to bring working-class values to Washington!

AFSCME members are the people who keep Ohio running — they plow our roads, staff our county offices, care for our seniors, and answer the call when we dial 911. I'm honored to have their trust, and in Congress I'll fight to make sure the people who serve our communities can retire with dignity and raise a family on what they earn.

I’m Brian Poindexter - I’m a union ironworker, and I’m running for Congress because working people's lives keep getting harder and harder while billionaires keep getting richer and richer.
Washington isn't making it any easier.
I'm ready to fight back. Are you?

Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K.
A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

Republicans promised they wouldn’t touch Medicare.
Then they passed a bill that triggers tens of billions in cuts.
Seniors will feel it in higher costs, fewer providers, and harder choices between medicine and rent.
Broken promises have consequences.

Elon Musk is very concerned about the low birth rate of white people in the West. This is why he destroyed USAID which already lead to over 700k deaths worldwide (people of color.) Reality: he's fine w black and brown people dying...
Ok, so Musk and his white supremacists want "remigration." Then in jolly ol England, you'd have to remove all of the Celts, Romans, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, and Normans that invaded the land over the past 2000 or so years...
Why don't the Big Three automakers in the US collaborate and create an American EV industry sort of like the European Airbus model?

Early this morning in Crown Heights, Detective Robert Carroll was shot in the line of duty. I visited Detective Carroll at the hospital today, and I’m grateful his bulletproof vest protected him from more serious injury. I’m keeping him and his loved ones in my thoughts as he recovers.
I’m thankful to Detective Carroll and every member of the NYPD working to keep New Yorkers safe through a busy holiday weekend.
Every New Yorker deserves to come home safely at the end of the day. My administration will continue using every tool available to stop the scourge of gun violence and get illegal guns off our streets.

I'm a proud democratic socialist whose politics were forged in the labor movement.
My goal in Congress is to do everything I can to make it easier to join a union.

BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani says New York City will continue enforcing its sanctuary city policies and will not be complicit in federal civil immigration enforcement.
“We do not allow ICE agents into our schools, our hospitals, or city property without a judicial warrant signed by a judge,” Mamdani said. “We are proud of our heritage as an immigrant city.”
For many immigrant families, those policies are intended to ensure they can seek medical care, send their children to school, and access city services without fear.

The graduating class of East River Academy earned their diplomas while incarcerated on Rikers Island. They chose to pursue an education because they understand their futures cannot be constrained by their circumstances.
Even in the face of extraordinary adversity, these graduates kept moving forward with faith in their potential.
Congratulations to the graduates of East River Academy. No matter where your journey began, this milestone belongs to you. You earned it, and I'm cheering you on.

There is a record-breaking heat wave in Europe and hundreds are dying.
There is drought all across America and farmers are going out of business. Yet, Trump thinks climate change is a “hoax” and cuts funding for sustainable energy.
Insane. He is threatening the very future of our planet.
