Colorado Dems are ‘poking the bear’ by defying Trump’s orders, GOP lawmaker warns

A Republican lawmaker has warned that Democrats in Colorado’s state legislature could face the ire of the Trump administration if a series of controversial bills passed Sunday — including one labeling parental misgendering during custody battles as «coercive control» — are signed into law.
«It really does feel like we’re poking the bear,» state Rep. Jarvis Caldwell told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Colorado enacted legislation to expand health care access to illegal immigrants this year, «as well as housing and food and education for illegal immigrants, which is in direct violation of some of the orders that have come from President Trump,» according to Caldwell.
«And then the transgender issue, we’re pushing this further than we ever have before on children in the state of Colorado, and that directly goes in violation of what President Trump is looking at.»

As such, Caldwell said «it’s a very real possibility» that some of the state’s programs could be at risk of losing federal funding, adding the Centennial State will «pay the consequences for it, and Democrats will be responsible.»
«Health is a big one with Medicaid, a big portion of that is federal funds, and then education as well,» Caldwell said. «And so we are passing bills, especially on the illegal immigrant issue, that directly involve these issues. And so I think that’s going to be something that’s on President Trump’s radar.»
The Colorado Democratic House majority barreled through four controversial gender and abortion bills on Sunday — which one Republican lawmaker described as a day for «family and prayer,» curtailing floor debate in an «unprecedented» floor procedural tactic.
The bills that were passed include SB25-183, which requires taxpayers to fund abortion services; HB25-1309, mandating insurers cover transgender procedures regardless of age; HB25-1312, which imposes state-mandated gender policies on schools and considers it «coercive control» in child custody cases when a parent does not affirm a child’s gender identity or «deadnames» them; and SB25-129, which prohibits cooperation with out-of-state investigations on transgender procedures and abortion services.

State House Majority Democratic Leader Monica Duran told Fox News Digital previously that the four bills were debated on the floor for more than 12 hours last week. Duran also invoked a procedural rule that limited debate to two hours last Friday.
But Caldwell said under 24 hours is nothing compared to the Democrat majority’s 12 months they spent on several of the bills.
«They had an entire year to coordinate testimony, and we had less than 24 hours,» Caldwell said. «And then when it went to the final vote, we’re each supposed to get 10 minutes for debate, and they completely cut off any and all debate.»
The Republican minority also failed to get any of their amendments passed. For HB 1309, which would mandate insurers cover the cost of transgender procedures regardless of age, Republicans introduced an amendment to exclude minors from it.
«Because some of the coverage is genital surgical procedures, it’s hormone therapy, it’s facial reconstruction, and then breast reductions and chest augmentation,» Caldwell said. «And so now your health care plan, even if you disagree with this, you’re going to be paying a higher premium most likely to cover the cost, in my opinion, to genitally mutilate children.»
SB25-183 and SB25-129 are headed to the governor’s desk for signature, while the other House bills now go to the Senate for consideration.

It’s not unlikely that Trump could target Colorado Democrats.
Earlier this year, Trump signed several executive orders aimed at eliminating «radical gender ideology,» and he’s already moved to slash some federal funds in Maine after Gov. Janet Mills refused to enforce Trump’s ban on biological males competing in women’s sports. Mills lobbed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday over the frozen funds.
In January, Trump signed the «Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government» executive order, which defines two sexes: male and female. The order prohibits «chemical and surgical mutilation» of minors to include puberty blockers, hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and sex-change surgeries. It also bars institutions receiving federal grants from providing such services and allows healthcare providers to refuse services based on gender identity.
Trump also signed an executive order requiring military personnel to serve according to their biological sex.

El astrofísico Adam Becker advirtió sobre la obsesión de la élite tecnológica por la inmortalidad y el control global

Un nuevo libro de Adam Becker, reseñado por MIT Technology Review, examina la situación del progreso de la inteligencia artificial (IA), argumentando que hay una perspectiva compartida por los principales magnates tecnológicos del sector, que siguen raíces filosóficas e históricas. En “More Everything Forever” (Más de todo para siempre), Becker expone que figuras como Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos y Elon Musk impulsan una ideología que, según él, promete consecuencias profundas para la sociedad y el planeta.
El libro parte de la premisa de que los líderes tecnológicos más influyentes no solo buscan innovar, sino que intentan rediseñar el destino de la humanidad. Sus proyectos van desde alinear la IA con los intereses humanos y crear una superinteligencia capaz de resolver problemas globales, hasta fusionar la mente con la tecnología para alcanzar la inmortalidad, establecer colonias autosuficientes en Marte y expandirse por el cosmos. Becker sostiene que todas estas metas comparten una misma base: la “ideología de la salvación tecnológica”.
Entre los líderes de este movimiento destacan Sam Altman, CEO de Open AI; Jeff Bezos, fundador de Amazon e impulsor de la exploración espacial privada; Elon Musk, creador de Tesla, SpaceX y GROK, conocido por sus ambiciones interplanetarias; Marc Andreessen, autor del “Manifiesto Tecno-Optimista”; y Ray Kurzweil, promotor de la Singularidad. Todos ellos, de acuerdo al análisis de MIT Technology Review, mantienen la convicción de que la tecnología debe resolver cualquier desafío y que el crecimiento perpetuo es moralmente necesario.
Becker identifica tres rasgos principales de esta ideología: fe inquebrantable en la tecnología como solución universal, creencia en el crecimiento sin fin y una obsesión cuasi religiosa por superar los límites humanos. Según el autor, hay una doctrina común donde “se encuentra la idea de escape y trascendencia, así como la promesa de un futuro asombroso, lleno de maravillas inimaginables, siempre que no se obstaculice el progreso tecnológico”. Esta visión, según Becker, permite a la élite tecnológica presentar la expansión de sus empresas como un imperativo moral y justificar cualquier acción en nombre del avance.

La obra explora las ideas y movimientos que nutren esta cosmovisión. Becker traza un recorrido que va desde los fundamentos del transhumanismo de Max More en los años noventa hasta la actual ideología de la salvación tecnológica, pasando por la llamada “ideología californiana”, una mezcla de valores contraculturales y neoliberales. Conceptos como el altruismo efectivo, el racionalismo, el extropianismo, el aceleracionismo efectivo, el futurismo y el singularitarianismo figuran como variantes del mismo núcleo ideológico. El punto en común es claro: el futuro será extraordinario si se permite la innovación sin trabas.
En este entramado, la Singularidad, momento en que la IA supere a la capacidad humana y y pueda mejorarse a sí misma de forma autónoma, ocupa un lugar central. Kurzweil sostiene la existencia de una “Ley de Rendimientos Acelerados”, según la cual el progreso tecnológico sigue una curva exponencial. Becker cuestiona este supuesto y advierte sobre la mala interpretación de fenómenos como la Ley de Moore, que describe la duplicación de transistores en los chips pero no garantiza un avance perpetuo.

Becker advierte sobre los riesgos sociales, ambientales y políticos de la ideología del progreso sin fin. Su preocupación se basa en que la fe en la salvación tecnológica sea utilizada como excusa para la depredación ambiental, la acumulación de poder, la evasión de regulaciones, además de distraer de los problemas reales del presente a favor de futuros hipotéticos. Sostiene que en la última década, la falta de regulación y de escrutinio mediático permitió que estas visiones se instalaran sin oposición significativa.
El atractivo de estas ideas no se limita a la élite de Silicon Valley, argumenta Becker. Muchas personas encuentran consuelo en la promesa de un futuro predecible, la posibilidad de trascender la muerte y la sensación de que alguien —o algo— tiene el control. El autor observa que en comunidades racionalistas y de altruismo efectivo, es habitual encontrar antiguos evangélicos, lo que sugiere un paralelismo entre la función de la religión y la narrativa tecnológica.
A lo largo del análisis, MIT Technology Review resalta la advertencia de Becker sobre el peligro de aceptar estas visiones como inevitables. Insiste en que solo reconociendo el carácter problemático de estos sueños tecnológicos se podrá desafiar su supuesta predestinación. Cuando la sociedad advierta que esos futuros prometidos podrían transformarse en pesadillas colectivas, la sensación de inevitabilidad que rodea la ideología de la salvación tecnológica comenzará a desvanecerse.

Ex-Bush attorney general faces House Oversight questions on controversial Epstein deal

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A former attorney general under George W. Bush’s administration is testifying to House Oversight Committee investigators on Tuesday.
Alberto Gonzales, who led the Department of Justice (DOJ) from February 2005 until mid-September 2007, is the second witness being called in the bipartisan House probe into Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
It’s not immediately clear how many lawmakers will appear at the closed-door deposition, which is expected to largely be staff-led. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is likely to attend, however.
Gonzales notably led the DOJ during early talks with Florida federal prosecutors for Epstein’s infamous non-prosecution agreement, which was formed in 2007 and finalized in 2008.

He left shortly before it was signed, however – something Comer noted in a subpoena cover letter to Gonzales earlier this month.
«Your tenure as U.S. Attorney General, from 2005 to late 2007, coincided with a time period when the FBI investigated Jeffrey Epstein for sex crimes, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Florida prepared a draft 60-count indictment of Mr. Epstein, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida offered a plea bargain to Mr. Epstein, leading to the signing of Mr. Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement only one week after you left office,» Comer wrote.
The House Oversight Committee sent a flurry of subpoenas regarding Epstein earlier this month, kicking off a bipartisan investigation into the late pedophile.
In addition to Gonzales, subpoenas were also issued seeking depositions from former FBI directors Robert Mueller and James Comey, ex-attorneys general Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions, as well as former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Notably excluded from the list is Alex Acosta, the former Trump Labor Secretary who approved the non-prosecution agreement with Epstein while serving as a U.S. attorney in Florida.

The subpoenas were directed via a bipartisan vote during an unrelated House Oversight subcommittee hearing on illegal immigrant children in late July.
Renewed interest in Epstein’s case has gripped Capitol Hill after the DOJ’s handling of the matter spurred a GOP revolt by far-right figures.
The DOJ effectively declared the case closed after an «exhaustive review,» revealing Epstein had no «client list,» did not blackmail «prominent individuals,» and confirmed he did die by suicide in a New York City jail while awaiting prosecution.
Democrats seized on the discord with newfound calls for transparency in Epstein’s case – spurring accusations of hypocrisy from their Republican colleagues.
Indeed, the bipartisan unity that the investigation was kicked off with quickly disintegrated after the first witness, Barr, was deposed last week.
Reps. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., and Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who attended part of Barr’s deposition, left the room roughly halfway through the sit-down and accused Republicans of insufficiently probing questions during their allotted time to depose Barr.

Comer, in response, implored Democrats not to politicize a bipartisan investigation.
Divisions deepened after Comer said Barr had no knowledge of, nor did he believe, any implications of wrongdoing on President Donald Trump’s part related to Epstein.
House Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., who was not in the room, released a statement after the deposition, claiming Barr did not clear Trump.
In addition to Gonzales’ deposition Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee is also expected to hear this week from former Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
