@RepJayapal Why aren’t TSA workers considered Essential? They would be paid then just like ICE! #MakeTSAEssentialWorkers

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

Donating $5 million to the people investigating you is corruption. Accepting $5 million from the person you’re investigating is corruption. Our government is run by corrupt billionaires and bought politicians.

Alex Lawson: We're the richest country in the history of the world. Of course we can afford healthcare for everyone. Of course we can afford a dignified retirement for everyone. The only thing standing in our way is less than 1000 billionaires who have corrupted the system

BOOP!!

Community note for the win.🤣

Another fantastic 🧵🧵🧵🧵

Just imagine your sister talking this way about you because she knows exactly who you are!

The American people deserve an answer to this question.

Resurfacing this from 2017.

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this." That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door. Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply. Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

@MeanwhileInUA @Meidas_David She is a master at explaining truth!

Well said @RepJasmine 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can’t wait to watch all the people who criticized the JCPOA and excoriated Obama for “pallets of cash” try to sanewash Trump giving Iran even more cash for a worse deal than the JCPOA.

@chiky_handlr Facts!!!

In 2011 Trump predicted Obama would start a war with Iran because he had no negotiating abilities and was weak and ineffective. So why did Trump start his war with Iran?

@SirWinston85 @Angry_Staffer LMAO. You're a cuck.

@Angry_Staffer @Mary88Rz

@BasedMikeLee Tell him and the GOP to quit behaving like a dictator

When you compare Trump to Hitler You encourage assassination attempts Stop it There’s *zero* legal or moral justification for violence against him I invite all Democrats to echo this message

@SpeakerJohnson This was already a done deal under President Obama! Trump closed the Strait of Hormuz, killed children, service members killed and injured, munitions supplies, spent BILLIONS and made things in America more expensive. For NOTHING

President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism — to the negotiating table. We are greatly encouraged to learn a PEACE DEAL in Iran is underway — and look forward to learning more about the specifics. Under President Trump’s leadership, our nation is stronger, more respected on the global stage, and safer than ever before.
