Here four of the governors on stage salute former Gov. Michael Dukakis, seated in front row Dukakis signed a universal coverage law in 1988 — later rolled back, but laid foundation for 2006 act

The Dem establishment spent half a year blubbering about how we need a liberal Joe Rogan. Hasan's one of the very few "popular streamers whose base is young men" we have, and it's freaking wild that the very folks arguing Dems need a "big tent" are trying to push him out of the tent. So the tent needs to be big enough to include Big Tech and crypto and Wall Street -- interest groups whose influence genuinely makes our party's platform and rhetoric less popular to masses of Americans -- but not big enough for the exact influencers we identified as one of our biggest weaknesses. (Who, by the way, is one of the few streamers who actually consciously redirects anti-Zionist anger away from Jews as a whole.)

At one point covering these social media liability cases, I was using a tiny screwdriver to try to open a battery case on a little pink flashlight for my daughter. It was impossible, and I stripped the screw, and then I realized: this battery pack is impossible to open because the toy company has legal liability. If a kid eats the battery, their parents can sue the toy company for negligent product design. That little company that made a crappy toy flashlight for kids had to think more about liability than Meta, one of the largest companies on the planet.

HISTORIC VERDICT: “The era of Big Tech invincibility is over – this ruling is an earthquake that shakes Big Tech’s predatory business model to its core." -- @sachalouise techoversight.org/2026/03/25/the…

idk how you can believe the WH cares about protecting kids online when Trump appoints Zuckerberg to a council of advisors less than 24 hrs after Meta was found guilty of not protecting kids from sexual predators online

This story feels particularly timely in the context of @OpenAI's jarring comms shift in the last... several hours. Has it suddenly dawned on these guys that the elections are not going to be kind to them?

as we await the jury's decision now, we put together the takeaways from the last few weeks of the social media addiction trials. take a look 👀

We urge leaders in California to continue championing design-centered regulation that tackles the core business model of social media and AI products. 📸: @Politico Pro's Technology: California Decoded

Important to understand that Silicon Valley and this administration (with the help of many bought and paid for Dem politicians and pundits) are working toward a global mass surveillance and information manipulation regime the likes of which this world has never seen.

Oh look, a flailing business investing in political favors.

This quickly appears to be becoming a 2026/28 litmus test

I don’t want billionaires to prop up local news. I want to hold Big Tech monopolies who destroyed the local journalism business model accountable. They suppress local news and drain their ad revenue—Google was found guilty of illegally monopolizing digital advertising LAST YEAR.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

It really says something that the tech elite is more upset about kids wearing keffiyeh on college campuses than about agents of the federal government shooting people dead in the street.

EXCLUSIVE: @zohrankmamdani will be sworn in as mayor on midnight on January 1 inside the old abandoned City Hall subway station, saying that he sees the venue as a symbol for the aims of his upcoming administration. buff.ly/uHR8XdU

As data centers pop up in every corner of the country, their electricity demands are spiking rates for everyone. But why on Earth should you be covering the electricity bill of a billion-dollar tech giant? This week, @SenWarren, @SenBlumenthal, & I are asking big tech just that.

latest navigator polling shows MASSIVE nationwide support for regulating AI. Two thirds of the country. Trump just made a huge mistake in blocking state AI laws & it will cost Republicans in 2026

imagine if all the money spent on Ai was spent on trains.

So…he wants us to go through 50 states when it comes to regulating women’s bodies but not when it comes to AI? Let's be clear: we need a federal solution. But we need one that's crafted by experts and doesn't sell you out to the highest bidder. Until then, states must act.
