“Having never taken a dime from corporate PACs, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is someone we can trust to have our backs,” the union continued. “From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the US Senate.”

But the endorsement of the storied UAW, which boasts over 350,000 active and retired members in Michigan, might be his biggest yet as he seeks to transition fully from insurgent to frontrunner.

“I am so honored and humbled,” El-Sayed said on social media as he prepared to join striking UAW Local 2093 American Axle workers on the picket line in Three Rivers on Friday. “Michigan union autoworkers built the American middle class and proved that when people stand together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. Solidarity forever.”

Just when you think the bottom of the barrel has been reached, Trump once again proves there are more layers beneath scum.

Ya'll are so screwed. This idiot is going to cause others to die.

ICE never needed officers to disguise themselves with masks and strip themselves of identification before Trump took office for the second time.

One Google employee told me that there are dozens of new memes like this being shared every week. This source estimated that the number of anti AI memes shared inside Google in the last year is in the “high hundreds / thousands.”

"We’re finding that AIs have relieved the pressure and bottleneck of code generation, but that everything else has become the bottleneck, Google-wide testing and build times, human review delays, comparatively slow infra and VCS,” one Google employee told me. “The conclusion many colleagues are arriving at is that Google’s infra [infrastructure] and eng [engineering] culture was built to be stable and intentionally slow, and that pressures to accelerate using AI are bumping into that.”

The agency is facing pressure to improve medical care in its facilities after reporting the deaths of 18 detainees in the first five months of this year.

And by "pressure to improve medical care" they mean "ICE hasn't paid for medical care since last fall"

ICE also killed people by doing things like leaving a blind man who didn't speak English or Spanish in the parking lot of closed restaurant in the middle of a winter storm in Buffalo
