@christopherrufo @JAYMADDIS “California is giving free sex-change procedures to homeless illegal aliens” 🤣🤣🤣

SCOOP: California is giving free sex-change procedures to homeless illegal aliens. Our team went into the shelters and discovered that trans migrants are coming into the state for hormones, breast implants, and "bottom surgeries"—all on the taxpayer dime. city-journal.org/article/homele…

It's becoming super obvious that most people in the US do not like AI.
But there's an easy way to fix this.
It's actually super simple.
AI companies pay for every home's electricity and water bill in the counties where data centers are built.
Easy.
You literally start proving out the abundance thesis the second those data centers get approved.
Per Grok 4.20, there's roughly 50k homes in an average county in the US, with an average yearly utility bill for electricity and water of roughly $3k per year.
That's roughly $150m per year per county.
Each one of the biggest data center hyperscalers can very easily afford this.
You'll have counties TRIPPING OVER THEMSELVES to get a data center built in their region.
It's such a no-brainer solution.

The US social mood is turning dramatically negative on AI

A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue.
That could pay for:
Universal childcare
Millions of new homes
Slashing child poverty
Medicare for people aged 55+
Universal paid family leave
Tuition-free community college
And more.

@SenWarren We should have the federal government give $5B to Bezos because he’d actually allocate it productively

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.
If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.
And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

We’re leaving no stone unturned in tackling the city's housing crisis! Today DOB approved plans for NYC’s 1st underground skyscraper, a 90-story building constructed below street level to protect skyline views. Keep your eyes peeled for more “earthscrapers” across every borough

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@kiaran_ritchie I think you’re looking backward, not forward. This is a silly analogy but consider how any modern military could crush any military from a century ago. You’re basically saying “why do we need an even stronger military if it could already win WW2 ten times over?

I don't see how Anthropic, OpenAI or any of the model providers have any hope of defending their moats. And consequently, I think they're going to get wiped out.
Right now, in early 2026 they have a meaningful advantage in terms of model capability. But far cheaper and open source models are not far behind.
How long can they maintain a meaningful advantage? For the vast majority of use cases, we don't actually need much higher intelligence. It doesn't take 140 IQ to automate Turbotax or powerpoint.
Eventually we will be saturated in cheap, local models that are "good enough". Of course some scientific labs and frontier research will always want the latest and greatest. But that market is orders of magnitude smaller than these company valuations can justify.
What am I missing?

@DaveShapi It’s because what were once called progressives are now conservatives (anti-progress), conservatives are still conservatives (anti-change), and the American tech industry is now the only group of people who want long term Americana dominance.

It's alarming that this movement is bipartisan.

WHO WANTS A DATA CENTER MORATORIUM? I DO! Today, I co-sponsored a bill package to HALT the construction of data centers across Michigan for over a year.

Drake might be releasing 'ICEMAN' tonight based on the Akademiks McDonald's Scale (AMS) 😳
Akademiks' local McDonald's orders have spiked in an unusual way, the previous two times AMS spiked like this Drake released 'For All The Dogs' & 'Honestly, Nevermind' on both days... 👀

@reddit_lies We need to stop calling those people progressives. They want to stall progress, especially in th tech industry. That’s conservatism by definition. So the progressives are conservatives (anti-progress), conservatives are still conservatives (anti-change).
