GEN-AI IS THEFT
Generative Ai models such as chatgpt, sora and midjourney steal from artists/photographers/ writers/translators/3d modelers and uses
millions of creator's work without permission. ANY use of gen-ai in any creative industry is denying a skilled creator a job.

There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai.

Campaign email "insulted" paid for by Blue Amp Action PAC:

"Timothy, I want to share something deeply personal with you.

Since I launched my Democratic campaign to replace GOP Senator Susan Collins, I’ve received such heartwarming support from so many of you. I am incredibly grateful.

But to be honest, Timothy, it hasn’t all been positive.

Some are telling me I don’t deserve to run for office. Or serve in the Senate. Or even be a father – because I’m gay."

Excerpt from the Slate article:

"Low-income passengers themselves often say they would prefer speedier and more reliable transit service than one that’s free of charge. Basic math can explain why: If a bus rider makes $20 per hour and their commute takes an average of 40 minutes, reducing their average trip to 25 minutes would save them half an hour per day, worth the equivalent of $10—far more than the price of a round-trip ride."

Text from Trump's 3/20/2025 executive order, Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities.

"Closure of the Department of Education would drastically improve program implementation in higher education. The Department of Education currently manages a student loan debt portfolio of more than $1.6 trillion. This means the Federal student aid program is roughly the size of one of the Nation’s largest banks, Wells Fargo. But although Wells Fargo has more than 200,000 employees, the Department of Education has fewer than 1,500 in its Office of Federal Student Aid. The Department of Education is not a bank, and it must return bank functions to an entity equipped to serve America’s students."

The final sentence is underlined.

Extract from the linked article:

And a short time later, larger issues of respect and gratitude fuelled the extraordinary argument that saw the US president and vice-president upbraid their European ally in front of the world's TV cameras.

J.D. Vance seated on a couch with his tie tucked under his undersized balls. The coach is still recovering from the trauma.

However, we find this case presents such special circumstances, namely the portion of the old rule the federal officials seek to revive suffers from the same legal errors as the one challenged here — the Secretary lacks
the power to authorize loan forgiveness in an ICR plan. We therefore conclude the district court’s injunction should be broadened to enjoin the Secretary’s attempt to forgive loans in the SAVE plan through the old REPAYE provisions.

A paragraph from the linked article reading, "School choice has long been a cornerstone of the GOP agenda, with a significant number of Republican-led states freeing up more funding in recent years for low-income families to send their students to private or charter schools."

The claim expressed in this paragraph is a lie.

1. Many borrowers have seen their balances grow due to the accrual of unpaid interest such that many borrowers now have overall balances higher than what they originally borrowed. Are there ways to help borrowers who are in this situation that could put them on a better path for successful repayment?
