Texas Officer On Leave After Video Shows Him Pushing Teen

I’ve seen technology reshape our world repeatedly. Previous technology platforms amplified human capabilities but didn’t fundamentally alter the essence of human intellect. They extended our reach but didn’t multiply our minds. Artificial intelligence is different. It’s past the point where a difference in degree becomes a difference in kind. AI amplifies and multiplies the human brain, much like steam engines once amplified muscle power.

As seven of the 10 states that voted on reproductive rights passed ballot measures to protect access, the country reelected former President Donald Trump—a man who has claimed credit for the U. S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade two years ago. Trump saw victory in four states that passed protections, highlighting what some experts call a “cognitive dissonance” on how people feel about abortion and the candidates they choose to elect. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Arizona, Missouri, and Montana will amend their state constitutions to enshrine the right to abortion until fetal viability (which is around 24 weeks of pregnancy), with exceptions after that if the pregnant person’s life or health is at risk.

NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Rep. Elise Stefanik to serve as his ambassador to the United Nations. “Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump said in a statement Monday announcing his pick. Nikki Haley, who challenged Trump for the GOP nomination, was among those who previously held the role in his first term. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Stefanik, 40, who serves as House Republican Conference Chair, has long been one of Trump’s most loyal allies in the House, and was among those discussed as a potential vice presidential choice. Born and raised in upstate New York, Stefanik graduated from Harvard and worked in former President George W.

Like other social scientists and scholars, I’ll spend the next weeks and months scouring pre-election data, the exit polls, and the first wave of post-election surveys trying to understand how a majority of American voters chose to return Donald Trump—a twice-impeached convicted felon and adjudicated sexual abuser who incited a violent insurrection when he lost the last election—to power. Because elections are won and lost at the margins in a deeply divided nation such as ours, most of that analysis will rightly focus on which subgroups (like Latinos and young men) shifted most significantly away from the Democratic Party’s winning 2020 coalition.

Indigenous people have been telling stories for centuries longer than the film industry has existed. Yet historically, Hollywood has ignored them. Throughout the 20th century, American movies largely portrayed indigenous people in limited, often non-speaking roles, and mostly confined them to narratives about the 19th century period of frontier expansion.

Over a century ago, President Woodrow Wilson established Veterans Day to honor “the heroism of those who died in the country’s service” after the First World War. Wilson proclaimed that the day, originally called “Armistice Day” to mark the end of that war, should be a sign of the nation’s gratitude.
