The world’s great religious, philosophical, and ethical traditions have guided human civilization and society for millennia. We need that wisdom and those values to anchor AI today. Because many individuals now ask AI about faith, religion, and belief, it is in the common good that AI answer such questions accurately, honestly, and respectfully. As I spoke on AI for the common good at the G20 Interfaith Forum held in Salt Lake City yesterday, I suggested that we will not fulfill our responsibility until we understand that we, and not any technology, must shape our best future. My great hope is that AI with strong moral compass will contribute to the gift of possibility where anyone everywhere can become their best self and change the world for good.

Replying to @BarackObama
@BarackObama, you spoke about someone’s life being turned upside down by the full weight of the federal government. My wife, Bevelyn Williams, received 41 months in federal prison under Biden’s DOJ. Our daughter lost her mother’s presence at home. Emails later released by DOJ called that sentence an “incredible result” and “excellent news.” President Trump pardoned her and reunited our family. He did the right thing. Before you condemn him, address what your own political party did. Take the plank out of your own eye before pointing to the speck in someone else’s. Your statement hit home. I’m speaking from passion, firsthand experience with government weaponization, and victory. You describe Congresswoman Omar’s situation as political targeting by Trump. Reporting describes investigative activity under Biden. The magistrate judge who approved the search was selected by the district court, previously donated to Clinton and clerked for an Obama appointee. Those facts establish neither guilt nor motive. They belong in the whole story. So does my family. Bevelyn is a Black Christian mother and private citizen. The protest happened in June 2020. NYPD was present both days. She wasn’t arrested at the scene. James sued her civilly in February 2021. Biden’s DOJ obtained an indictment in December 2022, approximately two and a half years later and after Dobbs. Our family experienced retaliation after Dobbs. Her requested First Amendment jury instruction was denied. Our daughter lived with the consequences. Letitia James had plenty of fight for my wife. New Yorkers deserved that same fight from their attorney general. She had already pursued Bevelyn civilly. Then she publicly promised to come after her again. Meanwhile, federal inspectors documented failures in her office’s criminal enforcement against Medicaid fraud and patient abuse and neglect. Vulnerable patients. Nursing home residents. Taxpayers. Their interests were her responsibility too. She made pursuing my wife a public priority. Her own office’s failures became a matter of public record. I call that vindictive politics and failed leadership. President Obama, putting her in the victim’s chair does not erase the people her leadership failed. DOJ’s weaponization report documents coordination with outside advocacy groups, a dossier containing information about me and our infant daughter, and sentencing disparities in the cases compared. Congratulations were exchanged over my wife’s sentence. We faced separation. Since your party emphasizes identity, include this: Trump pardoned a Black woman and reunited a Black family. Biden’s DOJ obtained the sentence that separated us. My family does not hate Democrats. Disagreement does not have to become hatred. Many Democrats, Republicans and Independents reject socialism and communism and want secure borders and safe communities. What we agree upon can help heal this nation’s fractures. Selective outrage and incomplete stories are exhausting. Put the whole record before the American people. They can draw their own conclusions. Our family mattered before a pardon. Our pain deserves to matter even when our politics don’t match yours.

Blaming the riots in Paris on Islam creates a false dialectic and is actually cowardly. The issue is low IQ people cannot live, unmonitored, in societies they lack the capacity to build. Everyone is too afraid of saying this and instead push slop.

You're confusing two very different things: becoming like God through Christ and trying to become God in rebellion against Him. In Genesis 3:5, Satan tempts Adam and Eve to become like God through disobedience. But Paul teaches that we are children of God and joint-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16–17). Peter says we can become “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4). And Jesus promises that those who overcome will sit with Him on His throne (Revelation 3:21). Was Peter repeating Satan's temptation? Was Paul? Was Jesus? The difference is obvious. Satan offered godlikeness through rebellion against God. Christ offers exaltation through grace, obedience, and becoming one with Him. And the whole “getting your own planet” claim is a caricature of LDS teaching. Exaltation is about becoming like our Heavenly Father, not receiving some cosmic real estate assignment. Nor did Joseph Smith invent the idea of humans becoming divine. Irenaeus and Athanasius both taught forms of deification centuries before Joseph Smith. Their understanding wasn't identical to LDS theology, but the principle that humans can participate in divine life is deeply rooted in Christianity. If becoming like God is inherently satanic, you have a problem with the New Testament itself. The real question is whether we become like God through rebellion or through Christ. Joseph Smith taught the latter.

The tyranny of the Biden administration wasn’t some aberration. It was part of an escalation. You cannot find a single Democrat in the country who thinks what they did was wrong. The only lesson they learned was they didn’t go far enough. Don’t let them hold power again.
Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon defends her previous comments that her GOP opponent Ashley Moody should be jailed, telling @margbrennan “it’s not a desire to weaponize the justice system.” “It's designed to actually hold corrupt politicians accountable,” Nixon says, calling for a Justice Department investigation into the Hope Florida scandal, in which Moody has denied wrongdoing.

All of us can receive divine direction for our lives. If you are doing your best to honor the covenants you have made with your Heavenly Father, you can act in faith knowing that you will receive His guidance in your life. I was pleased to share my thoughts on this during a conversation with the director of social media for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during my time at BYU-Idaho last week.

The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done. —Joseph Smith, 1842

Abdul El-Sayed disclosed paid advisory work for a nonprofit that published guidance on how to “combat parents’ rights rhetoric.” His Senate disclosure lists FrameWorks Institute among sources paying more than $5,000 for his services—and dates his advisory role to April 2024. Three months later, FrameWorks published guidance addressing @Moms4Liberty and lawsuits over schools withholding children’s chosen names and pronouns from parents. Among the mindsets it identifies as obstacles to building support for government action: “Personal Liberties”—its label for viewing government primarily through individual freedoms and limits on its power.
