AI Gold Rush, Snack Lawsuits & Trump’s ‘Garbage’ Rant

On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, we put five big stories in context. First, Tennessee’s “safe” red House seat suddenly doesn’t look so safe, as a Trump-rescue special election win masks a double-digit swing toward Democrats that fits a familiar midterm pattern.

Then, we head to campus, where students are stampeding into shiny new A.I. majors while old-school computer science quietly stalls, raising real questions about jobs, inequality and whether we’re training kids to build the tools that will replace them.

In San Francisco, the city sues Big Food over ultra-processed products, arguing they’re the new tobacco and demanding honesty, not bans. The same city’s mayor is reinventing the office as an influencer brand, turning “Let’s go, San Francisco!” into a governing strategy.

Finally, Donald Trump drops any pretense and calls Somalis “garbage,” Ilhan Omar “garbage,” and Minnesota’s governor “seriously retarded”, a dehumanizing tirade experts say can fuel real-world violence.
