The men were on the roof for 6 hours before CBP left. The crowd then organized a plan to get the men out with decoy cars in case agents were still around. It’s nice to see people being resourceful, especially as their own local LEOs help the fascists. Sounds like people got home safe for now.

Missouri and Montana’s high courts have rebuked some GOP attacks on popular initiatives. Two November measures would further protect them. “Even if (the) court changes, this would lock in that direct democracy is a fundamental right,” says a legal expert.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.
