Rep. Ro Khanna proposes seven principles for democratic AI regulation

"...Rep. #RoKhanna, a Fremont #Democrat and co-author of the legislation that compelled the release of the #Epstein files...
In an interview last week, #Khanna said the arrest of former #PrinceAndrew is evidence that it will happen...
“This sets the standard for accountability,” he said. “I believe 👉you’re going to see the elite of the Epstein class start to fall both in the #UnitedStates and around the world.”👈"
Hope so!
@wdlindsy need a special master appointed by the judiciary. DOJ can’t handle the truth.
How do we get that done? #Massie #khanna #Hakeem_jeffries #schumer
@rokhanna.bsky.social keeps landing on my radar barely. He worked with #Massie on this one really good thing, but the #billionaires know how to change gears. I know he's in front of #Silicon #Valley. That's my whole problem with #Khanna. I don't believe that he believes in a human rights structure.

Khanna says ‘stop protecting predators’ as DOJ gives reasoning for redacting Epstein files
The fallout continues from the release of the Epstein files. On Saturday, the Justice Department sent a letter to Congress that included a list of names of “politically exposed persons” mentioned in the files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Justice correspondent Ali Rogin reports. Source link #Khanna #stop #protecting #predators #DOJ #reasoning #redacting #Epstein…
Well, that certainly escalated. After months of stalling, the Trump's Department of Justice finally allowed (sort of) members of Congress to review what were supposed to be its full, unredacted (more on this later) "Epstein Files." And within a matter of hours, all hell broke loose in American politics and among our increasingly repugnant ruling class.
We'll be talking in more detail about what the Congressional representatives found in the files as this story evolves, but the big picture view is: the pedo trafficking ring is real, the Justice Department is still covering up for wealthy men who raped and abused women and girls as young as nine, Donald Trump's name has been *heavily* and illegally redacted from the DoJ's investigation files, and the Trump administration is still refusing to un-redact huge portions of the documents, even for restricted private viewing by members of Congress. The coverup is simultaneously ongoing, and completely in the open now.

‘There’s a Bunch of Sick F*cks’: Lawmakers in Both Parties Stunned and Disgusted After Viewing Unredacted Epstein Files
"The FBI closed its investigation into Epstein in July, concluding that while the financier himself abused several underage girls, along with his partner Ghislane Maxwell—who is currently serving 20 years in prison—he was not running a sex-trafficking ring that included other powerful figures.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said the files he and other lawmakers reviewed yesterday told a much different story.
“It’s disgusting,” he said. “There are lots of names, lots of co-conspirators, and they’re trafficking girls all across the world.”
Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) put it more succinctly when a Drop Site News reporter caught her on the way back from the DOJ office and asked what she learned from viewing the files.
“There’s a bunch of sick fucks,” she said."
There is a lot going on in this article, which talks about the reality that Pam Bondi and the DoJ are still withholding at least 3M files, that in less than two hours of browsing Congressmen Massie and Khanna had turned up the names of 6 prominent, ultra wealthy businessmen credibly accused of committing prosecutable crimes against women and girls, and a series of brazen redactions revealing that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his club Mar-a-Lago.
The focal point of this piece however, is the clear and obvious evidence that both through intentionally restricting access to the files, and willfully redacting them in violation of the law, the Department of Justice is still engaging in an illegal coverup to protect President Trump and billionaire rapist pedophiles in the Epstein circle.
First up, the Trump regime has made it effectively impossible to see all the unredacted files:
"They are required to sift through the files in a tightly-secured DOJ office and are barred from making copies available to the public, though they are allowed to take notes.
"Raskin said that the office contains only four computers, making the process of sorting through more than 3 million files agonizingly slow.
“Working 40 hours a week on nothing else but this, it would take more than seven years for the 217 members who signed the House discharge petition to read just the documents they’ve decided to release,” he wrote in a post on social media."
Additionally, numerous elected officials including Congressmen Massie, Khanna, and Raskin made it clear that even though the DoJ is only legally allowed to redact the names of victims, they were willfully protecting Epstein associates and indeed people who committed crimes against women and girls with him.
“We didn’t want there to be a cover-up, and yet, what I saw today was that there were lots of examples of people’s names being redacted when they were not victims,” Raskin told CNN. “There are thousands and thousands of pages replete with redactions. There are entire pages in memos where you can’t see anything.”
Finally, as Congressman Ro Khanna noted during multiple interviews this week, the reality is even the supposedly unredacted "Epstein Files" the members were (barely) allowed to see by the DoJ, were already previously redacted back in March to protect Trump, and haven't been unredacted since.
"Donald Trump had the FBI scrub those files in March,” he said. “And the documents we saw already had the redactions of the FBI from March. So we still have not seen the vast majority of documents unredacted that have the survivor statements of the rich and powerful men who committed these crimes.”
Folks, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, there's a pretty good chance you're just looking at a duck. We know without a question of a doubt that Trump's Department of Justice is engaging in an illegal coverup, and given Trump's vast web of connections to Epstein, we can all guess why. The Pedophile President must fall.

Brian Tyler Cohen: BREAKING: MAJOR UPDATE on NEW #Epstein lawsuit - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtWuK_sT7m8 #Trump #Khanna #Justiz
Until Sen. Bernie Sanders began holding rallies in Republican-held districts to address DOGE’s destructive impact on federal workers and programs,
most progressives had not dared to dream of rural America as fertile ground for a backlash.
But it’s central to the concept of the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" ( #RUBI ),
a group determined to breathe new life into rural organizing strategies.
Conceived in early 2020 by
#Anthony #Flaccavento, a small farmer, former Democratic congressional candidate,
and community organizer in southern Virginia, and
#Erica #Etelson,
a political writer and former public-interest attorney based in California,
-- RUBI is kindling a new way to approach -- and ultimately advance -- rural concerns within the progressive movement.
Through training sessions,
reports from local experts,
policy development,
and traditional volunteer work,
RUBI hopes to #depolarize rural politics and persuade other activist groups to #engage in good faith with the needs, fears, and aspirations of rural communities.
RUBI’s most prominent effort to date is its campaign to convince the "Democratic National Committee" and the broader fundraising network on the left
👉to devote substantially more resources to rural causes.
Since #Ken #Martin, chair of the "Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party",
was elected in February to head the DNC,
RUBI has lobbied him to allocate $400 million
—10 percent of the Democratic ad buy for the 2024 general election
—toward rural districts and candidates.
Although RUBI has yet to secure Martin’s commitment,
co-signatories to the public letter include Rep. #Ro #Khanna (D-CA),
author and sociologist #Arlie #Hochschild,
veteran Texas populist #Jim #Hightower,
two state party chairs
and dozens of county committees,
and scores of other individuals and organizations
alarmed by Democratic decline in rural areas.
✅ Rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.
Regardless of the DNC’s final decision,
the campaign testifies to the perseverance of rural progressive populism.
It reflects, too, a growing recognition on the part of local groups committed to the welfare of rural workers
-- that they are not isolated in their anger over how national Democrats have burned through billions of dollars in the last several election cycles without improving their position in a single “purple” state.
🆘During Barack Obama’s presidency, Democrats lost well over a thousand congressional, statewide, and local down-ballot offices.
Tentative gains in critical presidential swing states since 2018 have been largely offset by Trump’s comeback;
-- He won all seven in November.
Other states where Democrats used to be competitive across the board,
such as Florida and Ohio,
are poised to go the way of Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas.
A recent study from the "Carsey School of Public Policy" at the University of New Hampshire suggests that
💯a shift among rural voters to Kamala Harris of just 3 percent could have led her to victory over Donald Trump.
👍If even just a few dozen rural Democrats from the South and Midwest won back offices controlled by the GOP,
there could be a tectonic shift in how the party competes at the gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential levels.
As RUBI’s founders know well,
it is a herculean task just to get the party elite to admit the main facts
—that austerity, trade shocks, and monopoly power have distressed rural America
—much less own their own culpability in these issues.
But although it is tempting to place all the blame on party elites, the same, unfortunately, can often be said of the major progressive groups that have cropped up since the Bush years,
Flaccavento argues.
The overriding focus,
he says, on
“call[ing] out how horrible the Republicans are 24/7”
has left little energy to discuss what matters to rural folks:
👉“jobs, employment, the economy, livelihoods, manufacturing, trade policy, [and] antitrust.”
🔥This, then, is how rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics:
not through conferences, white papers, and viral media,
⭐️but by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.

The Meidas Touch Podcast
#MeidasTouch host #BenMeiselas reports on #DonaldTrump falling into a perfectly laid trap by Congressman #Massie and #Khanna to expose his dark past and he never saw it coming! #EpsteinFiles
youtu.be/c2_mVu7dasI?...
WHOA! Trump FALLS into PERFECT...
Rarely does the mere filing of a #ballot #initiative scramble politics in California.
But the "#Billionaires #Tax" proposal is suddenly dominating the discourse
as proponents collect signatures to place it on the November ballot
— and wealthy residents, like Google co-founders
Larry #Page and Sergey #Brin,
move their assets out of the state rather than wait to see if it will pass.
The idea of taxing billionaires’ total assets
— a more aggressive idea than the income taxes California already levies on high earners
— has long captivated the left,
galvanizing labor and shaping presidential politics.
But now that
SEIU-UHW,
a union representing more than 100,000 health care workers,
has pushed the idea closer to reality than ever before,
California is getting a vivid glimpse of just how politically explosive the proposal is
and, for supporters, how high the stakes are for getting it right
The fight has reignited a struggle over the Democratic Party’s economic agenda in the runup to the 2028 presidential contest,
-- drawing vehement denunciations from Governor #Newsom and prominent Democratic donors like Reid #Hoffman
-- while being embraced by progressives like Ro #Khanna,
who represents Silicon Valley and is also mulling a presidential run.
Sen. Bernie #Sanders called it “a model that should be emulated throughout the country.”
“This isn’t radical. This is fairly simple. We live in the wealthiest country in the world and people are struggling,”
Liz #Perlman, executive director of AFSCME 3299, said on a call this week in which unions and progressive groups from around the country trumpeted higher taxes in all 50 states.
But beyond Perlman, the unions on that call did not necessarily embrace a wealth tax. And even Democrats championing populist economic messages are treading cautiously on this particular wealth tax proposal.
California Sen. Adam #Schiff, for example, signed onto a letter this week encouraging Democrats to “demonstrate a real willingness to take on corporate power and the billionaires” in advance of the midterms.
But Schiff has not yet taken a position on the proposal roiling politics in his home state.
