Scott Thurlow isn’t a morning person. So much so, he wants to change state law.

In 2019, Washington lawmakers voted to put the state on permanent daylight saving time if Congress ever allows it. Thurlow has a different idea: Stop changing the clocks now, even if that means staying on Pacific Standard Time for a while.

What if Trump is actually getting GenAI to write his speeches? ChatGPT compiling falsehoods and false praise and is over there telling him how powerful his speech is and encouraging his bluster. Then nobody, not even he or just aides (or Natalie) is actually proofing that bullshit. Maybe?
