Trump says top tech firms have signed accord to ‘self-police’ AI development. Trump signaled his continued distaste for federal regulations, pledging never to 'stifle' what he termed 'super intelligence.' 🙄 So, the children are in charge of the fireworks. 🤬

More precisely, Kash Patel was paid $25,000—and Rudy Giuliani $100,000—by a pro-Russia propagandist who led a project financially supported by Putin's office. To get the full story, see my new book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Go to HowRussiaWon.com.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Glad to see fact-checker Daniel Dale still on the job. He responded following Trump's claim that other than oil, he has lowered prices. "Overall grocery prices are up 3.4% since Jan. 2025, and way more grocery items are up than down. Quick look at the CPI changes for grocery products/categories."

2/ John Oliver also mentioned our recent investigation into Paxton’s financial disclosures. The Texas AG appears to have omitted rental income and multiple mortgages, potentially violating a federal ethics law. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/ken-...
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a Texas Tribune headline from September 4, 2026 reads: “Ken Paxton omits rental income and mortgages from financial disclosures, obscuring his wealth.” It's paired alongside a photo of Texas AG Ken Paxton, wearing a dark suit with a light blue tie, holding a microphone to his face.
