Look, President Trump they came into office with a with a mandate to work for the American people, and this is good for the American people,
The high diesel prices that are impacting everyone. The president is balancing and has to make tough decisions,
The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course,
President Trump’s decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law,

As the clock ticked down toward the end of a pulsating game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Jacksonville Jaguars fans began to flock towards the nearest exit

Trump’s diesel deal with Putin drives a wedge through the Western alliance

By agreeing to open Russia’s taps and release hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel into a starving global market, the Kremlin has achieved something that raw military might on the battlefields of eastern Ukraine could never deliver

Donald Trumppresident
We said you can do whatever you want to Russia. Don’t hit the refineries because that’s a world problem that’s caused and he wants to make problems for the world. He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers,
Volodymyr Zelenskyyukrainian President
Ukraine will be ready to stop striking Russian oil refineries if Russia stops striking our energy infrastructure,
I am convinced this will have a positive impact on the entire global economy,

Kansas GOP Sen. Roger Marshall pays off 6-year-old campaign cookie bill

Roger Marshall settled his debts this weekend with a bakery in Kansas after a bill for hundreds of treats his campaign ordered for a 2020 event sat unpaid for six years

This isn’t about political parties or policy disagreements. It’s about my personal experience as a small business owner and the importance of honoring financial commitments,

We have absolutely no idea how this happened, but rest assured as soon as it became known to us, we immediately attempted to contact the business in order to apologize, and we have repaid the bill from 2020, double,

Trump really wants to make ‘super intelligence’ happen. Is it going to happen?

Sam AltmanopenAI CEO
Does superintelligence sound obviously less scary to people than artificial intelligence?”
If the idea is to use the new word superintelligence to cover all of that, it’s a little bit of a stretch, maybe, to call my spam filter a superintelligence,
Superintelligence was reserved for this sort of hypothetical future form of artificial intelligence that not only matched but radically exceeded humans across all cognitive domain,
Donald Trumppresident
The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!”
It’s not up to me to decide how English language should be used,

Voters are connecting the dots — and it’s bad news for Republicans

Of all the dynamics threatening the GOP this year, the most menacing may be the unusually direct connection voters are drawing between their economic frustrations and the policies that President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have implemented

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,
Tom Davis (Virginia politician)republican member of the United States House of Representatives
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,
Susan Collinsunited States Senator from Maine since 1997
What about everything else?”
Ashley Hinson was supposed to look out for us, but she’s voted 7 times for the war in Iran. Fertilizer costs are out of control. Diesel’s at record highs. It’s never been harder to run a farm.”
This has never been an economic argument that Democrats have been able to make in the last several election cycles: that the Republican (legislator) objectively made your life more expensive,
The problem is because the Republican ownership of higher prices is so stuck to them, voters can’t get past that to listen to the other arguments they are making,
It is the broadest sense we’ve had that a president has failed,

Trump’s DOJ probes major TV networks over response to White House ban of CNN

The probe, which one leading First Amendment group called nonsensical, concerns the TV pool, a long-standing arrangement that was disrupted last month when President Donald Trump banned CNN from the White House grounds

Members of the television press pool have proudly boycotted covering White House events. Group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act,”
The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.”
Trump may view the presidency as a business venture, but news outlets’ standing up for the First Amendment has nothing to do with antitrust law,

AI is among 17 potentially ‘catastrophic threats’ that researchers say require targeted action

Christopher J.L. Murraydr.
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,
Christopher J.L. Murraydr.
The striking finding is not only the scale of these threats, but that humanity still has the agency to act,
Natalia Kanemcommission Co-Chair Dr.
Recent global events show us just how quickly stability can give way to crisis, and how costly it is to respond only after disaster strikes. 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,
