On Friday night, I went live with Desmond Price of
.We ran long because there is just so much to talk about! In this conversation we covered:
Axios reported: A federal judge has allowed a lawsuit by 14 states to advance against Elon Musk for his activities with DOGE.
This was an important story to discuss because the impact that Musk has made on this nation is real, will be long-lasting and incredibly detrimental. He has decided to just “wash his hands” of DOGE but we wanted to know: Where did all of that data go that was stolen by his tech bros. during their raid of our personal information? Where did those servers go? Have they had to face any repercussions and will they?
From Politico: Jasmine Crockett has announced her candidacy for the chair of the oversight committee
I, for one, am looking forward to new leadership coming out of the Democratic Party. We need and demand strong leaders willing to stand up to fascists who are infiltrating and overtaking our government. Crockett isn’t afraid to stand up to them and has shown her dedication to the Constitution and the rule of law. She would make an excellent choice.
Texas public schools will display the 10 commandments (NBC News)
When we will realize that we are a nation that was founded on religious freedom…but not just the ability to practice whatever religion we want. We have the right to be free FROM religious rhetoric in public spaces — including public schools. This is not a Christian nation. If we don’t put our foot down now, what other religious propaganda will end up on the taxpayers’ dime?
Texas uses government surveillance to track woman suspected of having an abortion out of state
Texas — ARE YOU OKAY? In a chilling sign of how far law enforcement surveillance has encroached on personal liberties, 404 Media recently revealed that a sheriff's office in Texas searched data from more than 83,000 automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. This is fascism. Period.
From Live Science: Artificial intelligence refuses to turn off, after given instructions to do so.
Did you know the Reverse Robinhood bill that just passed the House and is making its way to the Senate as we speak has language in it that bans states from regulating AI for the next ten years? We discuss the impact of this.
RFK Jr. uses fake scientific studies to justify decisions made at HHS.
PBS NEWS: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has used his platform to spread misleading and false claims about vaccine safety, is expected to play a significant public health role in the next Trump administration. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Dr. Richard Besser, the former acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC is giving me and everyone else whiplash after changing course on recommendations concerning the COVID-19 vaccine and children. They are suddenly recommending it after RFK Jr. said it would no longer be recommended just days before. Our public health communication is in utter chaos and RFK Jr. and anyone propping him up must be removed before they do even more damage to our communities.
