Pope Leo gets it. Anyone still pretending AI risk is overhyped is choosing denial over reality. The dangers of AI aren’t “fake news,” and ignoring the experts’ warnings is wild.

In one Word, did Donald Trump's war in Iran drive up gas and diesel prices for Americans?

Schmitt concocts an elaborate conspiracy all based on the premise that Smith must’ve been in ATL on a certain date because he was at a “Hawks” game that day but it wasn’t the Atlanta Hawks it was the Iowa Hawkeyes. His big gotcha moment made him look like a complete fool. bsky.app/profile/atru...

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Jack Smith looked straight at the Senate and said what Trump’s enablers have spent years trying to bury: There was proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed crimes against this country. Smith said he’d prosecute him again today. Because the evidence doesn’t give a damn about your red hat

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

GOP Senator Eric Schmitt tried to nail Jack Smith with a secret Atlanta Hawks game as cover for a Fani Willis meetup, called him a dirtbag on live television, then found out the game he'd been waving around was Iowa Hawkeyes basketball. Maryland versus Iowa. Not Georgia at all.

Private equity executives are admitting their funds will "fall short on promises." But as wealthy investors run for the exits, the Trump Administration is trying to stuff private equity into YOUR 401(k). The system is rigged and Trump is making it worse.
