I guess he just assumed people would take him at his word that the AI would back him up?

Ya lost me here "Free" returns & package protection (the bare minimum for an online purchase) is behind a $1.23 paywall, to which you then have to agree to ANOTHER companies Privacy Policy & T&C, which state they'll sell your transaction info to advertisers? Kinda defeats the whole bit here?

Checkout where $1.23 add-on is the default option. The company is free to take your $35 and run if you opt out of having your transaction information shared with advertisers

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

@grok From an economic perspective, would it be cheaper to provide illegal immigrants with free healthcare upfront or on the backend?
Grok

From an economic perspective, providing free healthcare upfront to illegal immigrants may be cheaper than backend care. Preventive care, like prenatal visits, can halve costs compared to emergency treatments, as seen in California's Medi-Cal expansion. Immigrants' lower per capita spending ($4,875 vs. $7,277 for U.S.-born in 2021) supports this. However, expansions can exceed budgets, with California's costs rising $3 billion over estimates, raising taxpayer burden concerns. Backend care, mainly emergency services, has lower immediate costs but risks higher expenses for untreated conditions. Evidence leans toward upfront care saving money long-term, but uncertainties in implementation and funding persist.

@Grok Wouldn't it be way more economically viable to just deport every single one of them? Then there are no medical bills to even consider, their country of origin can take care of that, right?
Grok

Replying to @Buoyant_Bear
Deporting all undocumented immigrants would cost $114B-$315B, far exceeding the $1.5B annual healthcare costs they incur. They contribute $31.9B in taxes yearly, and deportation could cut GDP by up to 10%, causing economic harm. Providing healthcare is cheaper, with lower per capita costs ($4,875 vs. $7,277 for U.S.-born) and preventive care savings. However, budget overruns, like California’s $3B, are a concern. Deportation also raises humanitarian issues, affecting 5.9M U.S.-born children. Both sides have merit, but healthcare provision appears more cost-effective.

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

Tweet from @RNCResearch that says:

IL Democrat Candidate for Congress @KatAbughazaleh says criminal illegal aliens should be on Medicaid.

This is the madness President Trump is trying to stop with the One, Big, Beautiful Bill.

Medicaid is for AMERICANS!

This should not controversial, but somehow it is. I believe EVERYONE deserves healthcare, no matter who you are, what you do, or where you were born.

We are dying. We are dying faster every day. But we can look back and remember caressing their lips with ours, as we ran our hands through their hair, and took out their secret agent earpiece. All you wanted was them. But all they wanted was for you to save money on your car insurance.

If your device is already compromised you've got bigger problems. Signal does not claim to mitigate this, in addition to every other chat app because *how the hell would you*? Their job is to protect the messages in transit. Yours is to protect them at rest.
