She’s introducing legislation that will codify how federal agencies can leverage existing laws when AI—and not a human—breaks them.

That’s been a sticking point for many law enforcement officials mainly because AI isn’t a person, but increasingly could make decisions like one, and those decisions could have serious consequences for many of us. One such example: if an algorithm for a rental screening company downgraded a qualified applicant from majority-Black or Hispanic zip codes, that may be in violation of the Fair Housing Act. (Jacobs’ bill would allow HUD to require landlords to test screening tools for discriminatory patterns before using them.)

While that’s just one use case, her bill also addresses how to protect Americans when an Al agent or platform discriminates against people in housing, health care, employment, criminal justice, and so on.

Jacobs is also introducing consumer privacy protections like finally closing the data broker loophole as the House takes up FISA reauthorization next week.

Sign Ups to Find Out Social Double in One Day.

This week, American Power co-host Matt Randolph (aka Mr. Global) encouraged his followers to join the app. He knows what we all do: That now is the time to divest from the big social networks because our attention is their oxygen.

What we saw the next day was truly inspiring. Find Out Social’s audience DOUBLED in a day.

Wow.

Unlike MAGA-pilled billionaires, we don’t want to build a social network just to appeal to advertisers or a shrinking user base.

Nope.

We want to create a purpose-driven online community that:

• Doesn’t suppress links. If you include a link in a post, your followers will actually see it (the big social apps automatically downgrade posts with third-party links).

• Has a zero-tolerance policy for threats of violence, hate speech or anything illegal. We are a “one strike and you’re out” platform when it comes to that nonsense.

• Encourages conversations instead of rage or click bait. It’s beyond time that adults could once again have productive conversations about…whatever you want to talk about.

• Breaks out feeds for specific topics. Our app has sections for everything most people are interested in like sports, food, culture, and more.

• Is interested in the needs and wants of our community. If you see something that isn’t working or you have an idea for something you want to see? Unlike a billionaire, we actually care.

• Uses open-source tools instead of a walled garden. We used well-established tools to build our app for the open social web (something called Mastodon) instead of private, proprietary, clunky technology so NO BILLIONAIRE CAN TOUCH US.

We hope you’ll all take some time to see that this isn’t just hype. We’re building the future of independent media and online engagement.

It’s not just you. It’s fuckin nuts out there. Join us as we talk about…where to start?

Is there a ceasefire?

Why is Trump fucking up the NBA finals?

In further and obvious evidence of his clear cognitive decline: California election rigging and walking off the Today Show like a fuckin baby.

So the rest of the team is away, and I’m taking the helm. I talk about the California jungle primary results, the disaster at 60 Minutes, the missing member of Congress and why independent media matters now more than ever

And then I’m handing the reins over to you.

I enjoyed your thoughtful and insightful questions I got from you all on my social accounts (shout out to the community on Find Out Social!) and I’ll be sharing those—and what I can only hope are equally thoughtful and insightful answers—today!

Thanks for tuning in!

In solidarity,

Tim (and the Find Out crew)

Why are we excited about this? Because Paxton, who has been impeached by the Republican Super Majority in the Texas state legislature for embezzlement, busted for an extramarital affair and is generally hated by Cornyn voters and his fellow Texas Republicans, this creates an excellent opportunity for State Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) to finally flip Texas Blue. The last time Texas Democrats came close to flipping this seat was in 2018 when U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) narrowly defeated Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) by 2.6%.

On this episode, we'll make the case for why someone like Paxton is worse than Cruz. Talarico's ability to communicate effectively with religious Christian voters, coupled with Hispanic and Latino voters turning on Trump in large numbers, makes this a must watch race that could help the Democrats win the U.S. Senate this year.

We'll also discuss why conviction is the best weapon for Democrats to counter Republican messaging when pitching massive changes like universal health care. We also enjoyed watching Chelsea Handler and Pete Davidson destroy Tony Hinchcliffe at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart. We also crack down on corporations using investments in AI data centers to justify mass layoffs but those investments haven't been paying off. Also, we'll highlight how the tech billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want cheaper workers while J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller want more white workers.

We hope you enjoy the episode and let us know in the comments below what your hottest take is!

This month, the Tennessee legislature once again ripped voting rights away from Black districts, part of the overhaul of state maps in light of the SCOTUS gutting what was left of the Voting Rights Act. During the vote, he and his brother were detained by state troopers.

Once again, Pearson’s image became synonymous with resistance overnight.

No stranger to fighting, Pearson had already declared a House candidacy for a majority-Black Memphis district. He’s still running to represent the completely redrawn district, determined to retain power for Memphis constituents who are now in danger of being completely overtaken by GOP rule.

As protests (rightly!) roiled the South this weekend, it was the perfect time to sit down with him to have a wide ranging discussion about how we can create and forge a new era for civil rights.

Senator Mark Kelly has entered the chat!

As a reminder, Secretary of Defense (never calling it the Department of War) Hegseth has repeatedly attacked Sen. Kelly for quite literally doing his job. Kelly is again facing a round of—let’s be generous and call them—“investigations” from batshit crazy Hegseth.

This time, Hegseth is all wound up about Kelly’s comments about weapons stockpiles, comments that came directly from—fuck, you can’t make any of this shit up—Hegseth.

Yep.

Kelly is open and candid about how Hegseth’s attacks against him are truly an attack on all veterans, and how courts have been consistently ruling in his (Kelly’s) favor.

Have You Joined Find Out Social Yet?

Some of us are old enough to remember the web before the social media companies (and Big Tech) sliced it all up. Sure, you had to use a little bit of imagination to find your tribe. But before Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: That’s exactly what we all did.

It was…fun.

It wasn’t bought and run by billionaires.

It was driven by user experiences that fueled a range of interests, discussions, and definitely didn’t include AI.

The web needs to return to its very human roots if it’s going to work for all of us again. It’s why we launched Find Out Social.

The big social networks aren’t interested in protecting democracy. But you already know that or you wouldn’t be here. We hope you’ll take part in what is becoming a huge movement to build a future web that looks a little bit like what it used to be in the past.

Democrats in red states have a different job to do than their counterparts in reliably blue states; but even Garcia’s fellow Red to Blue cohorts in distinctly blue states (Colorado, California) have a tough tightrope to walk.

We have a fascinating and engaging chat about how to secure a majority in November, take back winnable seats, hold onto important incumbents and get rid of incumbent MAGA House members.

Donate: Red to Blue

We talk a lot about how we want to support the people who are doing the work. They can’t do it alone. A major difference between the Democratic base and the GOP? The GOP doesn’t need to worry about money. Ever.

These candidates are running in historically underfunded districts, many of them in states with weakened Democratic state parties.

Any dollar amount helps. You can donate to help the Dems win back the house and demolish the GOP’s Supreme Court-powered takeover of Congress:

We have a whole range of stories to cover including Republicans using the failed Trump assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to justify his $1 billion taxpayer-funded ballroom.

We also have former President Barack Obama as Stephen Colbert's final guest on the Late Show, Kyle Rittenhouse being hospitalized for a spider bite, and James Talarico beating both John Cornyn and Ken Paxton in the latest Texas polling, Trump continuing to bomb Iran and of course, the Hantavirus breakout on that cruise ship.

Remember during COVID when Trump told everyone they should drink bleach and constantly contradicted Dr. Anthony Fauci's medical advice? Imagine Trump having to guide the country again through another major pandemic but this time with RFK Jr. as the Secretary of Health & Human Services. It's pretty frightening to think about this White House having to help our country navigate another horrific pandemic.

(NOTE: As of the time of this writing, the Supreme Court issued a temporary stay on the decision.)

While this plays out in the courts, we decided to talk to an expert on the issue. Nikki Sapiro Vinckier is something anti-abortion activists on the right are decidedly not: A licensed healthcare practitioner.

She’s also a women’s healthcare and reproductive rights advocate, an author, and an interpreter of sorts: Nikki’s helps break down the actual science research findings (and how those impact women) so people have the right information in a way they’ll actually understand.

Known for flipping a very red district in 2018 and going viral for grilling banking executives with her whiteboards while serving on the Financial Services Committee, Porter has been running as the Housing Candidate in this race pushing an agenda to make housing more affordable in California.

Porter is also known for speaking her mind and being blunt and direct. She recently called her opponents “teenage boys” during the debate but she has some pretty choice words to describe one particular candidate, Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco (R-CA), on the show.

We’ll also discuss the Supreme Court’s recent attack on voting rights and what impact this has on racial gerrymandering for upcoming elections. We’ll also discuss how Democrats need to stop using affordability as a buzzword when discussing the issue with voters and how honesty is the best way for a Democrat who flipped a red district to continue expanding their winning margin every election year. To quote the former Congresswoman, “We all need to do f***ing better.”

Too bad, so sad? Hardly. When people ask Democrats to fight, this is what they’re fucking talking about.

Because when we fight? W…

On today’s episode of the Find Out Podcast, we discuss how Trump has not only contradicted his own Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, on gas prices, but he’s also been screaming at the very White House aides who are trying to keep him awake during his own press conferences. Also, Trump’s quietly offering those affected by his tariffs (technically all of us) a refund.

Trump isn’t the only one making many headlines this week. We’ll discuss the FBI’s lawsuit against The Atlantic for reporting FBI Director Kash Patel’s binge drinking and how it affects his job performance. Then there’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. getting ripped a new one by congressional Democrats for defending Trump’s horrific budget cuts to the HHS and of course there’s a new story about RFK, Jr. and raccoon genitalia.

Yes, you read that last part correctly. Sadly.

He’s been a public servant for a long time, serving in the California Assembly, the U.S. House of Representatives (representing a highly diverse corner of Los Angeles), as California AG (appointed by then Gov. Jerry Brown after one Kamala Harris was elected to the U.S. Senate) and most recently as Biden’s HHS Secretary.

With California’s “jungle” primary system, and disgraced Eric Swalwell now essentially forced out of public life, Becerra has a lot to say about why he’s the best leader for California right now.

The House will vote on the War Powers Resolution Bill aimed at curbing Trump's war powers. Jeffries and House Democrats are working tirelessly to secure a few more Republican votes, anticipating a very tight vote.

We also spoke with the Minority Leader about Trump's AI Jesus photo and his latest attacks against Pope Leo. Jeffries also previews what Democrats plan for Trump if they win both the House and the Senate following the midterm elections.

Revelations of this magnitude don’t come to light easily. And there is one person we wanted to speak with who was dogged in her pursuit for the truth about Swalwell and how we should (and can) support the women he victimized.

Influencer and writer Arielle Frazz aka Mrs. Frazzled (many of you probably follow her) has been warning the public about Swalwell’s behavior for months.

Today, we speak with her at length about the allegations and how she was involved in uncovering them.

Later in the week, we look forward to speaking with former California Attorney General, Member of Congress and Biden’s former HHS Secretary, now California Gubernatorial candidate (yep, it’s a lot!) Xavier Becerra.

In a free-ranging discussion, we talk to one of Trump’s most outspoken critics about how he’s defying the president’s incompetence by lowering prices in Illinois and more.

So, a big round of thanks to those of you who sent in your questions for us.

And if you sent one in and we didn’t get to it? We only have so much time, unfortunately. But your input means a lot (that’s an understatement) and will inform our future chats and give us the food for thought we need to produce content that keeps you all engaged and informed.

Also, we decidedly leaned into the questions on topics that are keeping a lot of us here up at night, too.

See you all here tomorrow for fresh episodes of Get Angry with ItsLuke and Bryan Andrews and Episode TWO of American Power!
