I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.

You would think at some point MAGA would get tired of the incompetent buffoons they have representing them. But it seems like they’ve pretty much just accepted it as part of their brand.

To learn more about the Brazilian elections 2026, I suggest you check out John Oliver’s recent video about Why Jair Bolsonaro and his eldest son, Flávio Bolsonaro, are some of the most dangerous people in the country, how Jair is Brazil’s version of Trump, and why his son shouldn’t be in office.

Weakening direct democracy has become a feature of the Republican playbook to limit opposition in many states they control, including Arkansas, Florida, and Oklahoma. An effort to do so in Missouri last month was overwhelmingly rejected by voters.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.
