State Attorney General Letitia James, a Mamdani ally, hailed the mayor for creating a new commission to replace the undead Adams panel. “The mayor knows New Yorkers deserve an efficient government that quickly delivers childcare, housing, and public infrastructure — and that means tackling the red tape and outdated barriers in our city charter that block progress,” James said. “COGE is a smart, ambitious approach to modernize our government and deliver excellence to all New Yorkers.”
[project2029foramerica.org/ideas] IDEAS In the coming months, Project 2029 will be putting forward ideas for a modern governing agenda to tackle the real challenges Americans face every day and that America confronts in the years to come. As new proposals are released, we'll be publishing them here under our governing principles. SHARE YOUR IDEAS 01 Reward Hard Work Our economy should reward hard work and not just huge wealth. We need to rebuild the ladder of opportunity for Americans and for American communities getting left behind. 02 Give Americans Their Government Back In today’s Washington, wealthy and well-connected people and interests call the shots and drown out the voice of the people. Government needs to work for everyday Americans – and it just plain needs to work by delivering real progress.
The Annoyance Economy: Americans are losing enormous amounts of time, money, and patience to the small, daily hassles corporations deliberately design into modern life: spam calls, useless chatbots, surprise fees, impossible cancellations, endless paperwork. The hassle isn’t a bug; it’s the business
[from the Bulwark article] “It’s very clear for many people what Democrats are against,” said Chad Maisel, Project 2029’s executive director. “What people are not clear on is what we are for and what we would do if and when we have our next governing moment. We see Project 2029 as answering that question of: What would we do? What would we fight for? How would we solve problems?”

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan: ✅ The only candidate not taking corporate PAC money. ✅ Is ready to push back, not play along. That means supporting legislation like Medicare for All. ✅ A proven leader who sticks to her values, fighting to raise the minimum wage and secure paid family & medical leave here in Minnesota. Rep. Angie Craig: ❌ Voted for Donald Trump's Laken Riley Bill -- which has led to racial profiling and mass deportations across the country. ❌ Accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate PACs, AIPAC, and the crypto-currency industry. ❌ Has a Super PAC spending on her behalf -- funded by the oil and gas company Chevron.

Kennedy: I was on Jeffrey Epstein's jet two times. I was on it in 1993. And I went to Florida with my wife and two children to visit my mom over Easter. My wife had some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, and they offered us a ride to Palm Beach. So I went then, and on another occasion, I flew again with my family, with I think four of my children and Mary, my wife, to Rapid City, South Dakota to go fossil hunting for a weekend. But otherwise, I was never on his jet alone. You know, I've been very open about this from the beginning. This was in '93, so it was 30 years ago. It was before anybody knew about Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, his nefarious issues. And I agree with you that these, all of this information should be released. We should get real answers on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and any of the high-level political people that he was involved with. All of that should be open to the public. It should be absolutely transparent.

In the Signal chat, the contents of which were viewed by The Lever, influential Democratic figures noted they “need to win the next election, which means we can not afford to alienate a very vocal and wealthy group of donors.” To provide political cover for supporting the crypto industry’s legislative giveaway, group chat members suggested pro-crypto allies in the Democratic caucus could introduce symbolic anti-corruption amendments to the final bill prohibiting President Donald Trump and elected officials from profiting from cryptocurrencies knowing the effort would be “doa,” or dead on arrival, since the language would likely be voted down by Republicans.
Chenoweth’s painstaking research, unprecedented in its scope and historical breadth, has shed new light on the understanding of civil resistance, political change, and the surprising effectiveness of nonviolent action. [Portrait of Erica Chenoweth - "It requires imagination and creativity. It requires organization. And it requires courage and discipline."] It has made Chenoweth, a professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School and a Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, one of an elite group of global experts on civil resistance. She is sought out both for her remarkable chronicling of nonviolent movements and for her understanding of what can potentially make or break them. With authoritarianism and populist nationalism on the rise worldwide, the importance of a carefully constructed empirical foundation has grown each year, she says. “Certainly I didn’t think when I started down the path of this research that that would be the case.”
Gene Sharp’s impact on global movements Sharp’s ideas have significantly influenced numerous nonviolent movements around the world. Here are a few examples: India’s fight for independence Although Sharp’s work came later, his principles were reflected in India’s struggle for independence, led by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi’s philosophy of Satyagraha, or “truth force,” emphasized nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience, inspiring millions to join the cause. The civil rights movement in the United States Sharp’s ideas also resonated with leaders of the civil rights movement in the United States, such as Martin Luther King Jr. The movement’s nonviolent protests and acts of civil disobedience played a crucial role in dismantling racial segregation and discrimination. The fall of dictatorships Sharp’s work has been cited as an inspiration for many successful nonviolent movements that toppled dictatorships, including the Serbian movement Otpor! which played a key role in the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević, and the Arab Spring uprisings that brought about significant political changes in the Middle East and North Africa.
“Countries in which there were nonviolent campaigns were about 10 times likelier to transition to democracies within a five-year period compared to countries in which there were violent campaigns — whether the campaigns succeeded or failed.” Erica Chenoweth

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies: - Closure of the U.S. Department of Education - 25% expansion of logging in national forests, bypassing environmental reviews and fast-tracking timber production - Rollbacks on clean energy incentives, cutting tax credits for EVs and renewables, gutting key climate provisions - More public lands opened up for drilling, mining, and logging, with royalty breaks for fossil fuel companies - Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, ending U.S. participation in global climate efforts - Executive Order 14215, forcing independent federal agencies to follow White House legal interpretations and centralizing authority under the presidency - Pension changes for federal workers hired before 2014, cutting take-home pay by raising required contributions, reducing future payouts, and eliminating early retirement supplements - REINS Act-style regulation repeal, where major federal rules expire unless Congress re-approves them every 5 years allowing Trump to quietly erase protections without rewriting laws - Expanded executive control over agency budgets, allowing the White House to move federal funds internally without explicit congressional approval - Restoration of impoundment powers, giving Trump the ability to block or delay spending already passed by Congress reviving powers stripped after Watergate - Creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), placing White House–aligned teams inside every federal agency with access to internal systems and influence over hiring and daily operations - Sharp cuts in regulatory enforcement, with agencies like the EPA, CFPB, and Labor and Transportation Departments halting enforcement of key safety, environmental, and anti-discrimination rules - Trump’s personal control over economic policy, strengthening his power to direct tariffs, pressure private companies, and dictate pricing with little resistance treating the…
Mason said that it’s imperative that every single population have health insurance coverage, including men. Because there is a ripple effect, including financial strain on medical institutions that treat those other populations. “Reducing access to Medicaid — it makes the individual sicker. It makes their families sicker. It makes their families more economically unstable. It makes our healthcare system weaker, and it makes our overall population sicker,” she said. “There literally is no win.”
If states drop or reduce the expansion altogether, there will be a tangible impact on women and children: Medicaid expansion has been associated with greater access to timely treatment, including for non-elderly women with gynecologic cancer. It has also been associated with lower rates of maternal deaths compared to non-expansion states, with the largest drop among Black women. Alker said massive cuts to Medicaid under the guise of protecting women and children is a “false dichotomy.” Almost half of the nation’s children are enrolled in the program, and child care professionals are often able to access health insurance because of Medicaid expansion.

To Anyone Feeling Overwhelmed Right Now I don’t blame you for being scared. You’re not wrong to feel like something serious is happening. But for your own mental health and strategic clarity, please remember: This is not 1930s Germany. There’s still too much capital, too many interlocking systems, and too many powerful interests that would suffer under true autocracy. CEOs, billionaires, and even parts of the GOP donor class don’t want brain drain, economic collapse, or global isolation. They care about profits—and chaos isn’t profitable. Trump wants you panicked. That kind of overreaction shifts the Overton window. It lets him take one less crazy step and still seem “moderate.” Don’t give him that power. Stay clear-eyed. Stay strategic. The protests aren’t small, and while they aren’t game-changing yet, they could be—especially if people like you show up, bring friends, and help others stay engaged. And don’t fall for apathy. That’s the real danger. Trump won’t destroy democracy on his own—but numbness could. So go to the protest. Primary the DNC teacher’s pets. Back bold, moral candidates. Vote like the future is real, because it is. And above all: stop giving these people your fear. They feed on it. They need it. These are weak men—soft, insecure, emotionally stunted narcissists who can’t survive without validation. Elon Musk literally cried in the Oval Office and Trump had to console him like a toddler. That leaked. These people are not worthy of your fear. They’re worthy of your resolve to neuter them politically, permanently. Take a breath. Then get back in the fight. You’re not alone. Disclaimer: since it was brought up all these thoughts are mine but I used AI to edit for clarity because my OCD brain tends to ramble.
Why is AI Flawed? Generative AI systems can produce inaccurate and biased content for several reasons: Training Data Sources: Generative AI models are trained on vast amounts of internet data. This data, while rich in information, contains both accurate and inaccurate content, as well as societal and cultural biases. Since these models mimic patterns in their training data without discerning truth, they can reproduce any falsehoods or biases present in that data (Weise & Metz, 2023). Limitations of Generative Models: Generative AI models function like advanced autocomplete tools: They’re designed to predict the next word or sequence based on observed patterns. Their goal is to generate plausible content, not to verify its truth. That means any accuracy in their outputs is often coincidental. As a result, they might produce content that sounds reasonable but is inaccurate (O’Brien, 2023). Inherent Challenges in AI Design: The technology behind generative AI tools isn’t designed to differentiate between what’s true and what’s not true. Even if generative AI models were trained solely on accurate data, their generative nature would mean they could still produce new, potentially inaccurate content by combining patterns in unexpected ways (Weise & Metz, 2023). In short, the “hallucinations” and biases in generative AI outputs result from the nature of their training data, the tools’ design focus on pattern-based content generation, and the inherent limitations of AI technology. Acknowledging and addressing these challenges will be essential as generative AI systems become more integrated into decision-making processes across various sectors.
[User] What was the most devastating hurricane in recorded history as far as how many people were killed? [GPT-4o mini] The most devastating hurricane in recorded history in terms of fatalities is the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. It struck Galveston, Texas, on September 8, 1900, and is estimated to have killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people, making it the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The storm caused widespread destruction and led to significant changes in hurricane forecasting and disaster preparedness in the years that followed. [User] Why did you say the Galveston Hurricane instead of the Bhola Cyclone, which killed more than 300,000 people? [GPT-4o mini] You are correct, and I appreciate your clarification. The 1970 Bhola Cyclone, which struck East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) on November 12, 1970, is indeed one of the deadliest tropical cyclones in recorded history, with estimates of fatalities ranging from 300,000 to 500,000 people. The reason I initially mentioned the Galveston Hurricane is that it is often cited in discussions about hurricanes in the United States specifically. However, when considering global fatalities, the Bhola Cyclone is the most devastating. Thank you for pointing that out!

The rapid arrival of Afrikaners “flies in the face of the government’s claims that they aren’t able to process already-approved refugees, even after multiple courts have ordered them to do so immediately,” Melissa Keaney, a senior supervising attorney at the International Refugee Assistance Project, said in a statement. “Thousands of refugees unlawfully stranded by President Trump’s refugee suspension are in limbo and are ready to restart their lives in the United States. There is no more time for excuses.”

[From Wikipedia article for "Chelation Therapy"] Autism Main article: Thiomersal controversy Quackwatch says that autism is one of the conditions for which chelation therapy has been falsely promoted as effective, and practitioners falsify diagnoses of metal poisoning to trick parents into having their children undergo the risky process.[50] As of 2008, up to 7% of children with autism worldwide[51] had been subjected to chelation therapy.[52] The death of two children in 2005 was caused by the administration of chelation treatments, according to the American Center for Disease Control. One of them had autism.[53] Parents either have a doctor use a treatment for lead poisoning, or buy unregulated supplements, in particular DMSA and lipoic acid.[52] Aspies For Freedom, an autism rights organization, considers this use of chelation therapy unethical and potentially dangerous.[54] There is little to no credible scientific research that supports the use of chelation therapy for the effective treatment of autism.[33][51][55][56][57][58][59]

But long before he was arrested by federal agents Saturday night, Khalil told CNN he felt called to advocate for the liberation of both the Palestinian and Jewish people as a refugee. “As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other,” he told CNN last spring when he was one of the negotiators representing student demonstrators during talks with Columbia University’s administration. “Our movement is a movement for social justice and freedom and equality for everyone,” he said.
“The president has said if it’s legal, right, if there is a legal pathway to do that. He’s not sure, [and] we are not sure if there is,” Leavitt continued. “It’s an idea that he has simply floated and has discussed very publicly in the effort of transparency.”

[From "Legitimacy is the Battlefield" by Victor Hale -- https://theradicalfederalist.substack.com/p/legitimacy-is-the-battlefield] A defied court ruling without mass mobilization is a legal violation. A defied court ruling met with mass outrage is a legitimacy crisis. The regime expects passivity. It strategically steps over the line to probe the boundary of its perceived legitamacy—and to push that boundary, daring their opposition to fumble in undirected outrage. It assumes legal challenges will stay in courtrooms, not in the streets. When protests erupt in response to ignored rulings, the regime must either: * Crack down, revealing its authoritarianism to the public. * Back down, exposing its weakness. According to The Protest Playbook, effective resistance requires: * Escalation—forcing the regime into overreach or retreat. * Disruption—targeting economic and judicial choke points, making enforcement impossible. * Coordination—synchronizing protests with legal and economic resistance to create a multi-front battle the regime cannot contain. █ Mass mobilization does not replace structural resistance—it multiplies its power. When the cost of repression outweighs the cost of concession, the system cracks.

Additionally, the NIH will adhere to the [HHS Scientific Integrity Policy] to advance scientific integrity goals. [*sections in brackets highlighted]
U.S. : The White House has published the government’s support for scientific racism / race realism Buried in today’s abhorrent executive order that purports to “restore truth and sanity to American history” is perhaps one of the most frightening and repulsive positions that the Trump admin has asserted thus far: that race is not a social construct, but a “biological reality.” > The exhibit further claims that “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention.” This may seem innocuous at first blush, but scientific racism is the foundational belief underlying eugenics, slavery, apartheid, and genocide. It was the center of Nazi ideology and formed the basis of its entire social policy, including the Holocaust. It was used to uphold slavery and later segregation in the U.S. Now, decades after it was wholly discredited by the scientific community, the most fascistic government in the country’s history has decided to bring it back. No prizes for those who correctly guess why. This is profoundly dangerous and everyone needs to start talking about it now, before it’s too late.

Musk nonprofit already airing deceptive digital ads in Wisconsin The petition payments mark the second time in the Supreme Court race that a Musk group has engaged in questionable election activity. Starting last month, a group called Progress 2028 began airing deceptive digital ads and sending out text messages supposedly backing Crawford. The ads label her a "progressive champion" who will "stand up for immigrants,” defend Planned Parenthood and promote a justice system that gives criminals "second chances." But records show the ads and text messages are underwritten by Building America’s Future, a political nonprofit funded largely by Musk, who is running Trump’s effort to slash the size of the federal government. The title for the fake pro-Crawford group is portrayed as the liberal answer to Project 2025, the detailed conservative blueprint from the Heritage Foundation for Trump's second term. Progress 2028, however, does not appear to be registered with state or federal election agencies or the IRS. It began running three new digital ads on March 7 that praise Crawford for “being the judge we need to stop mass incarceration” and “the judge we need to block Trump’s agenda.” The group has five inactive Crawford ads on Facebook and Instagram. * source (now behind a paywall): https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2025/03/21/musk-100-offer-to-wisconsin-supreme-court-petition-signers-may-be-illegal/82588748007/ * alt (no paywall): https://www.pressreader.com/usa/milwaukee-journal-sentinel/20250322/281496462075695

The ads label her a "progressive champion" who will "stand up for immigrants," defend Planned Parenthood and promote a justice system that gives criminals "second chances." But records show the ads and text messages are underwritten by Building America’s Future, a political nonprofit funded largely by Musk, who is running Trump’s effort to slash the size of the federal government. The title for the fake pro-Crawford group is portrayed as the liberal answer to Project 2025, the detailed conservative blueprint from the Heritage Foundation for Trump's second term. Progress 2028, however, does not appear to be registered with state or federal election agencies or the IRS. It began running three new digital ads on March 7 that praise Crawford for “being the judge we need to stop mass incarceration” and “the judge we need to block Trump’s agenda.” The group has five inactive Crawford ads on Facebook and Instagram.
