Trump is pressuring lawmakers to pass the SAVE America Act voter suppression bill
by attaching it to housing and foreign intelligence surveillance legislation currently pending before Congress.
The SAVE America Act would take a giant leap towards the Trump administration’s goals of wresting control of elections away from states.
It would also potentially disenfranchise millions of voters through its provisions requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registrati…

Although a whole lot of Americans increasingly use AI in their daily lives,
most of them have neutral to negative views about it, new research reveals.
Only 16% of Americans think that AI’s impact on society during the next 20 years will be positive, Pew says,
while around 40% say that it will have a negative impact.
A vast majority of people (67%) don’t believe that the U.S. government will do anything to meaningfully regulate AI.

In two separate rulings made Tuesday, the US district judge Royce Lamberth said that attempts to shut down operations of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an independent federal agency that oversees VOA, are illegal
-- and mandated that employees return…

Donald Trump’s Save America PAC
— the vehicle he uses to pay legal bills
— is nearly $500,000 in the red,
while owing roughly $1.6 million to a roster of 12 different law firms.
Stiffing lawyers is a time-honored tradition in the Trump orbit.
He famously pulled the rug out from Rudy Giuliani after Rudy devoted his entire post-mayoral career,
law license, and remaining credibility to peddling the Big Lie.
Decades of vendors, contractors, and attorn…
