Serving the people of the 9th District has been the honor of a lifetime. Today, I voted early in Evanston alongside @DanielBiss. I know he’ll continue standing up for our values and challenging Trump’s corrupt agenda. Make a plan to vote and take advantage of early voting!

BREAKING: REAL LEADERSHIP! Senator Jon Ossoff delivers a showstopping speech shredding Trump for refusing to meet the moment as AI CEOs warn that their tech could destroy our entire species. Everything is at stake and Trump is asleep at the wheel... "This week, we were warned again of existential risk to the human species. Did you see it?" Ossoff said at a rally in Athens, Georgia on Sunday. "And what fills us with dread is the crushing weakness of our politics against the massive stakes of our times." "Tech titans dig bunkers, while warning us the new intelligence they're creating risks human extinction," he said. "Congress debates youth sports, and the President builds a ballroom. An ancient establishment barely capable of email sleepwalks into a technological revolution while the President dismantles precautions and calls us fools for worrying." Over the weekend, the CEOs of Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI publicly called for AI development to be slowed, citing profound, accelerating threats to human civilization. The eyebrow-raising remarks came just days after a former Anthropic researcher resigned from the company and warned that AI could “kill us all by the end of the decade." Rather than soberly urging caution, Trump attacked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei earlier today for voicing his warning, writing on Truth Social that "the only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" Even if that were the case, we don't have a smart President. We're currently saddled with the stupidest, most ignorant, least informed, least curious leader in American history. As if that weren't bad enough, he's clearly in a profound state of cognitive decline. Trump went on to claim that the government already has "tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power" over AI and alleged that a "sick conspiracy" is working "against AI and Data Centers." It's not hard to puzzle out why Trump is throwing caution to the wind here. He knows that the AI bubble is the only thing propping up the stock market. A development slowdown risks crashing the market but if the stakes are literally the survival of our species, we have no other choice. Of course, Trump doesn't care about the future of mankind. He's a narcissistic sociopath nearing the end of his life. He'd rather stretch the AI bubble out, even if it means our planet's demise, if it means he can hold onto a few more approval points in the short term. "Just listen to this," Ossoff continued. "On day one, Donald Trump rescinded the AI safety order meant to guard against catastrophic risks, including the engineering of bioweapons. Meanwhile, Don Jr.'s 1789 capital bought big money stakes in data centers and AI labs." "Four days before inauguration, the Emirati spy chief committed $500 million to the Trump family crypto business," said the senator. "And four months later, the Trump administration granted the Emirates the rights to buy our most sensitive AI chips. See, a capable President would move swiftly to secure and reassure the American people, rush inspectors into frontier labs, fortify the nation against bioterrorism, demand legislation from Congress, and lead the world toward an AI treaty." "But President Trump is compromised. A capable Congress would engage every committee in investigation and legislation to act swiftly and wisely. Those CEOs would be under oath next week," he continued. "But instead, the President and the Speaker of the House sit on their hands and hope for the best. So you see this scenario, and you look at the state of our politics, and it shakes your faith in the future. I understand." "But Athens, we can and will reclaim control over our own destiny. We can and will meet our obligations to our children, and that begins with victory this fall," Ossoff concluded. One final thing worth remembering is that we cannot trust these AI CEOs. While we should certainly seize on this opportunity to regulate the hell out of this industry, there is a distinct possibility that these calls for a slowdown are an effort to hide the fact that AI growth is slowing. These companies are struggling to make money and letting in regulation would allow these executives to concoct an excuse for flagging profits, or delaying IPOs. Instead of admitting that their companies can't scale properly, they can claim they're playing things safe for our benefit. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what their goal is. It's time for the government to step in and rein these corporations in for good. Please ❤️ and share if you support regulating AI!

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump are the architects of unfathomable cruelty, allowing immigrants to be shoved into small cages as punishment & in violation of ICE’s own standards. Alligator Alcatraz—and the abuse that happened inside its walls—will be remembered as a stain on our nation’s history.
JUST IN: In a sweeping report published on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general found that detainees of the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention facility in Florida were confined to small metal enclosures, presenting "significant risks" to their health and safety. abcnews.link/13miwZJ?utm_sou…

Republicans keep failing working families at the kitchen table. After causing your prices to skyrocket on healthcare, groceries, rent, fuel and more, they refuse actions to bring your costs down. But we don’t agonize, we organize and we will VOTE THEM OUT in a #BlueWaveIn50Days!

Trump is the first President in history to own and oversee his own bank. We're live on the Senate floor to say enough is enough with Trump’s crypto corruption. We need to pass the Ending Presidential Corruption in Banking Act now. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1pKkOXndk…

Everyone from AI whistleblowers to the titans of the AI platforms warn about the catastrophic risk to humanity of supeintelligent models that are rapidly evolving. The @POTUS, with deep political and business ties to the industry, dismisses it as a "hoax." xitter.cf/ossoff/status/20992729…

Tariffs are taxes on American families. Every inflated grocery bill, every jacked up appliance price, every supply chain mess - that's Trump's stupid trade war hitting your wallet. Democrats will roll them back when they take control of Congress. #BlueWaveIn50Days

A recent poll shows that the American people overwhelmingly want to ban artificial super intelligence and pause the development of AI until we establish clear safety standards.
We tested @SenSanders and @RepCasar's bill to pause AI development and permanently ban the creation of AI superintelligence. It's supported by 68% of voters — including 72% of Democrats, 70% of Independents, and 63% of Republicans.

BREAKING: KNOCKOUT! Governor JB Pritzker sucks the wind out of the Republican convention's sails with a BRUTAL takedown of Trump, Don Jr., RFK Jr., and "chief bootlicker" JD Vance. This is EXACTLY how we want Democrats to talk about these monsters... "From Texas, we have Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, and Ted Cruz, each one a poster child for bad governance, bad morals, and bad vibes, respectively," said Pritzker. The Republicans kick off their midterms convention in Texas today in a desperate bid to generate some positive headlines as Trump's deeply unpopular presidency threatens to sink them all at the ballot box. Since they have no actual policy plans to improve the lives of working-class Americans, they're going to rely on trotting out a coterie of sickos, quacks, and pedophiles to rant about "communism" and transgender athletes. "We have RFK Jr., the Health Secretary that you can thank for the return of measles and unsafe food," said Pritzker. "We have Todd Blanche, the attorney general who wanted to give your tax dollars to reward Trump's insurrectionists." "And we have Don Jr., the chief accomplice in his daddy's shakedown of the American people. And then we have JD Vance, Trump's chief bootlicker, who wants to hide the fact that he's the architect of Trump's endless war in Iran," said Pritzker. "And of course, we have Donald Trump himself, a President suffering from dementia, who unleashed violence on our cities, who jacked up grocery prices, screwed our farmers, and now has you paying for his gaudy golden ballroom," the governor continued. "I'm done pretending that these self-dealing, racist, misogynist grifters are an aberration of the Republican Party. They are the mainstream of the Republican Party now," he added. This final point is absolutely crucial. These lunatics and fascists who would have once been considered fringe are now the beating rotten heart of the Republican Party. There is not a single moderate conservative left on the national stage and if we are ever going to return to a sane political climate, these cretins need to be totally and lastingly repudiated in November. Please ❤️ and share if you're a fan of JB Pritzker!

I’m deeply saddened to hear about Gloria Steinem’s passing. Gloria was a giant in the fight for women’s equality, and her courage and determination were an inspiration to generations of women, including me. I was fortunate to work alongside Gloria in this movement. We stand on her shoulders, and we have a responsibility to persist. I’ll miss her dearly.
Gloria Steinem, the activist and trailblazing leader of the second-wave feminist movement, has died. She was 92 years old. Gloria Steinem never gave up the good fight. Despite publishing a dozen books and dedicating decades of her life to feminist advocacy, by the time she reached the age of 92, the feminist icon still feared leaving the Earth mid-battle. “I don’t want to die saying but—” Steinem told in an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year. “We have the idea that our lives are planned in order to be worthwhile. And that may be true in some cases,” she says, “but I think our ability to respond to and learn from the unexpected is really much more likely to be helpful.” Read the full obituary: vanityfair.visitlink.me/2rgB…

Laura Loomer is a stone-cold racist, pathological liar and nutjob. We stand with Angie Nixon, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Rep. Pressley and those public servants she attacked. Every single Republican should denounce her vile behavior and end their relationship with this extremist immediately.
