Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

Last year’s Texas floods appear to have killed more people at a pair of neighboring RV camps outside the town of Ingram than anywhere else, Sean Flynn reports. “You can never get those screams out of your head,” one park’s co-owner told him:

The 10,000-Year Flood
The banks of the Guadalupe River were an idyllic spot to park an RV. Then, last summer, it started to rain harder and faster than anyone could imagine.

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵

We'll have to find another word for "search". The verb "to google" is now coming to mean something entirely different: "to ask for AI slop that is unlikely to be accurate and destroys the planet."

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports. Most allegedly involved errors in which the TruDi Navigation System misinformed surgeons about the location of their instruments while they were using them inside patients’ heads during operations.

Cerebrospinal fluid reportedly leaked from one patient’s nose. In another reported case, a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients each allegedly suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured.Screenshot of text reading
In May 2023, Dean was using TruDi in another sinuplasty operation when patient Donna Fernihough’s carotid artery allegedly “blew.” Blood “was spraying all over” – even landing on an Acclarent representative who was observing the surgery, according to a lawsuit Fernihough filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth against Acclarent and several manufacturers. One of Fernihough’s carotid arteries was damaged. She suffered a stroke the day of the surgery, according to her suit.

Acclarent “knew or should have known that the purported artificial intelligence caused or exacerbated the tendency of the integrated navigation system product to be inconsistent, inaccurate, and unreliable,” the suit alleges.Screenshot of text reading
The FDA requires clinical trials for new drugs, but medical devices face different screening. Most AI-enabled devices coming to market aren’t required to be tested on patients, according to FDA rules. Instead, makers satisfy FDA rules by citing previously authorized devices that had no AI-related capabilities, says Dr. Alexander Everhart, an instructor at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis and an expert on medical device regulation.

I wish there was a term for when a masked thug army shoots a woman to death in her car and kidnaps a 5-year-old.
Oxford definition of "domestic terrorism." ... "the committing of terrorist acts in the perpetrator's own country against their fellow citizens."

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

#DonaldJTrump clearly has #dementia. He often does not know where he is or what he's doing or supposed to do. He has personality changes & magnified (ugly) traits characteristic of dementia. He is being used & manipulated by staff & others near & far. His adult children are nowhere to be seen.
