We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things,
We’re giving a man the death penalty who killed 14 soldiers a couple of years ago. Death penalty through firing squad — and he deserves it,

Trump is griping he should win the Nobel for settling eight wars, which he hasn’t done
Again, he keeps complaining about his non-victory at length
With Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, and probably a piece of the United States before we obliterated them.”
I did eight (wars). No president’s ever done any,
Israel and Iran — in a sense, because Iran is — we’ve wiped out their nuclear capacity, totally wiped it out.”

Voters are connecting the dots — and it’s bad news for Republicans
Presidents always suffer from proximity when Americans are discontented about the economy
I think that all these campaigns that are going to be successful are going to do so by making it a choice, not a referendum,
I think they wanted to give their president latitude, and they felt rightly or wrongly that their future was tied to his,
While we pay record high diesel and gas prices, and out of control grocery bills, and families in our community are terrorized, Monica de la Cruz is silent… because she voted for this,
What about everything else?”

AI is among 17 potentially ‘catastrophic threats’ that researchers say require targeted action
Across all 17 catastrophic threats, the decisions made by leaders today will shape the health and wellbeing of the next generation. But delaying action will only serve to shift and increase the costs into the future,
The striking finding is not only the scale of these threats, but that humanity still has the agency to act,

And the global threats to health risk amplifying existing inequalities, with the greatest burden falling on the most vulnerable communities. Yet the future is not inevitable,
Public health is full of examples in which potential threats were known, and protection plans were in place, yet effective action failed,
