This is disgusting. Tech companies want a future where an algorithm decides workers with disabilities or medical needs are disposable.
Twenty-six former Meta employees say AI was used to target them for layoffs. This is algorithmic eugenics dressed up as “efficiency.”

Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit. Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people for mass layoffs. reuters.com/world/meta-use…

AIPAC is spending more than 8x as much as the entire pro-@AbdulElSayed campaign, and Haley Stevens isn't even on the air.
I'm not sure I have ever seen anything like this in a Senate race.

This is unprecedented. The UAW sent a cease-and-desist to a pro-Haley Stevens Super PAC over its ad.
When a union has to tell your billionaire-backed allies to stop misleading workers, that says everything.
The UAW endorsed @AbdulElSayed
UAW@UAW
Today, the UAW issued a cease and desist against a Super PAC called "A Stronger Michigan" for use of the UAW's "wheel" logo in election ads promoting a candidate not endorsed by the Union. This is yet another example of why we need dark money corporate PACs out of our politics. These ads are a deliberate attempt at misleading voters in Michigan, including hundreds of thousands of active and retired UAW members and their families across the state. The UAW has a member-driven approach to our endorsements. We reviewed questionnaires, interviewed candidates, and a Counsel of Local, Regional, and International leaders voted by a two-thirds majority to endorse @AbdulElSayed. We will not stand for any corporate entity attempting to undermine our Union's democratic process.

@HaleyforMI The article you linked literally provides evidence that Abdul lowered healthcare costs for Michiganders in the form of debt cancellation

For all the money DTE and Blue Cross gives her, you’d think Helena Scott would have a less creepy van.
She’s running against Chris Gilmer-Hill @313CGH who does NOT take any DTE or Blue Cross money.

Sen. Raphael Warnock helped put a ban on massive corporate investors buying up single-family homes into federal law.
He entered the Senate with no prior legislative experience. He was a pastor, civil rights advocate and community organizer.
Good policy comes from knowing the people you serve. Thank you, @ReverendWarnock.

Oh so that’s why the establishment PACs dropped almost $50k to attack William Lawrence’s 11k retirement fund.

A single mom constit of mine who works for our public library told me that her share of the cost of her health insurance *doubled* this year and is now more annually than her raise was - she is taking home less paycheck than last year *after* her raise!!!

The NY Fed just dropped new consumer data and the math explains why everyone is broke. Inflation expectations just jumped to 3.7%, but the actual breakdown is wild. They expect rent to go up 8.3% this year and healthcare to jump 9.4%. Meanwhile, average salary growth is stuck at 3%. You can't even budget your way out of that. Your bills are literally growing three times faster than your paycheck.

🇺🇸 UAW’s Shawn Fain Says Gaza Ceasefire Stance Fueled DOJ Probe
The Justice Department has opened a grand jury investigation into allegations that UAW President Shawn Fain improperly used his authority to benefit his fiancée and retaliated against union official Rich Boyer, according to internal documents reviewed by Reuters.
Fain, who is seeking re-election, denied the claims Sunday and said Boyer fed the union’s federal monitor “false allegations.” He also accused monitor Neil Barofsky of holding a political grudge because the UAW backed a ceasefire in Gaza, citing a heated 2024 dispute over the union’s anti-war position.
Fain has hired lawyers and said he is considering all legal options.

I introduced bills in #Michigan to ban these algorithms from denying medical claims
Jeremy@jeremyct
Insurance denied my friend’s MRI last month. Doctor ordered it. Said it was medically necessary. Insurance said they needed more documentation. Doctor sent more documentation. Insurance said they needed a peer to peer review. Peer to peer happened. Insurance denied it again. My friend paid $2,400 out of pocket. The person who denied it was not a doctor. Was not reviewed by a doctor. Was an algorithm trained to find reasons to say no. This is legal. This is standard practice. This happens 50,000 times a day in America.
