Terrified of losing the midterm elections, the Trump administration has resorted to threatening election officials in California, suing Alaska if the result doesn’t turn out how they wish, sending DHS agents to the homes of Latino citizens, and dozens of other acts of voter suppression and intimidation.

He promised to “Make America Healthy Again.” Then he took healthcare from 15 million people.

At the same time, Anthropic is planning the largest IPO in history, which would accelerate the development of this technology while leaving Americans holding the bag if the AI bubble bursts.
I wrote to CEO Dario Amodei asking for real answers about the risks before they try and go public.

They chose resistance over surrender, making extraordinary sacrifices in defence of freedom.
On Όχι Day, I join the Greek community in Canada and around the world in honouring the legacy of those who stood up for liberty.

It's not a conspiracy theory to point out that before vaccines, when humans relied solely on the immune system, life expectancy was 40
