We're at 30 incumbent ® who've seen their district turn against them so bad they aren't even running again.
Sir, respectfully, you are old enough to remember the equal time rule. You do realize that the #USCongress abolished it after the #SupremeCourt uphelt it? My generation grew up without equal time because of corporate media who wanted this landscape.
Perhaps a rule requiring corporate outlets to have different political factions get equal prompting in front of users' eyes, so that #YouTube has to allow a #TownSquare and a #MarketplaceOfIdeas ? I want my generation to have their voices heard.

“Given the devotion of Trump’s cult in Congress, there’s no way an impeachment effort will end with the removal of the president.
Do it anyway. The rule of law is meaningless if you only take it up when it’s easy.”

Eight years ago the #USCongress passed a law requiring that the #USDepartmentOfDefense actually keep track of their #Budget and #Spending. They still don't.

After a strange twist in the field of #Defense #Technology, the #USCongress is talking about banning "crew optional" ship designs. We already have full #Drones and fully crewed ships, but this would make the #Navy pick a lane.

"Automated Immiseration" is how I read, at a coarse level, what's being proposed. Austerity politics handed down by machines.
The endgame of austerity economics has historically been some variation of fascism. Clara Mattei's meticulously-researched book The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism is a deep dive into how this has played out, especially after WWI. Mattei brings receipts: she has direct quotes indicating economists at the time knew full well what they were doing. The purpose of austerity measures, as spelled out explicitly by the people who invented them, is to discipline citizens and laborers--to keep them from getting any ideas about receiving too many benefits from government--and to re-affirm the position of capital holders at the top of the pecking order.
One comment I had about the "reskilling"/"upskiling" part of the conversation: I don't have the references on hand, but I believe it's been amply documented that "upskilling" almost never happens. It's a word that's thrown around as a salve, to reduce alarm about intended market destruction and job loss.
If upskilling were a serious part of this so-called roadmap, there'd be more specific plans for whose jobs will be displaced, which colleges and universities will educate these displaced folks, how that education will be funded, and which jobs are waiting for them on the other side. The upskilling plans, if serious, would be as detailed and spelled out as the AI/corporate plans are. If the upskilling plans were serious, the presidents of Ivy League and state universities, vocational institutions like coding bootcamps, and other educational institutions would have been present to share their insights and views, especially as regards the realism of re-training as many people as this roadmap and the rhetoric of #AI boosters suggests might be displaced. It'd be wise to include high school educators as well, since such a significant shift in the workforce affects students in high school as well. I didn't read the backgrounds on all 150-ish participants in these Senate forums, but I didn't see or hear about a large contingent of educators among them. As it stands the roadmap document only vaguely refers to "legislation" that doesn't yet exist.
Frankly, I see little that sounds serious in this "roadmap" aside from the danger it represents. It reads like a whitepaper a corporate middle manager would pound out (using #ChatGPT probably) in an afternoon. Emily and Alex referred to Chuck Schumer as "an #Elon #Musk fanboy", and I think that's what this document reflects. This is The Boring Company of government policy proposals.
