No to data center corporate welfare.
Data centers don’t need to be subsidized as businesses that need them and will build them either way. There is zero justification for giving taxpayer giveaways to big tech companies and cryptocurrency tycoons to build their data centers. Boondoggle – Big Tech’s AI Blackmail State and local data center extortion is going national. Pat Garofalo […]
Pennsylvania out on a limb.
Do people even understand that federal funds are still frozen?
Steve Bannon to the left of NPR on Medicaid cuts.
Medicaid funding is a foundation of a great deal of Northeastern Pennsylvania, but we can’t be complacent that our politicians won’t take marching orders from tycoons like Elon Musk. More uninsured people racking up medical debt they can never ever pay off never made anything better in America for those people or anyone else. NPR […]

The tycoons want us all to live in their authoritarian company towns instead of free communities.
Nobody voted for Elon Musk and what is he doing with American data? I’ve worked for government, and one big rule in government work is that you sign agreements that you understand that you can’t attach anything to government computers. You’re not even supposed to plug in a USB spotlight lamp to government equipment. There’s […]
AI is not the answer to human problems.
Going all in on vaporware is a bad idea – especially gambling on this with taxpayer money.

Trump administration’s central government email plan raises red flags.
Ken Klippenstein said that the new comms system made it possible for him to message the entirety of NOAA. That sounds off.
Donald Trump has repeatedly wrong economic advisor Kevin Hassett working on bird flu.
Kevin Hassett is an economist with a history of being way wrong. At a press briefing, the Trump administration spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explicitly blamed the egg prices on the Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture quote “directing the mass killing of 100 million chickens.” Of course this was because of avian influenza and the threat posed […]
Trump administration attempts to impound appropriations under the responsibility of Congress.
The odd memo out of the White House that started freezing access to Medicaid portals and threatened to shut down daycares is some pretty wild overreach…
Bizarre RFKJR confirmation hearing.

Trump admin executive order lets tech tycoon villains do secret unsafe AI programs.
I don’t think tech tycoons ought to have complete opacity to run whatever AI stuff out there that they want to.
Deregulation is another way of saying buyer beware.
I’ve also heard it said a few times that it should just be called “re-regulation” because in fact what so-called deregulation does is just switch the regulation from protecting consumers to protecting bad actors.
