The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

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.

MAGA isn't drawn to trump because he's smart or competent. They're drawn to him because he tells uneducated, insecure, angry people that their stupidity and ignorance is actually strength.

He gives them a script where nothing is ever their fault. Blame immigrants. Blame "elites." Blame Democrats, blame anyone except the person in the mirror.

He turns racism and sexism into a political identity. He makes being uninformed feel heroic. And maga eats it up because it saves them from having to grow, learn, or change.

They don't want leadership. They want validation for being ignorant. And trump gives it to them every single day...

It’s just not credible to directly compare administrative enrollment data to unadjusted Census survey data (as Trump Admin & the Paragon Institute do to falsely claim a big share of Marketplace enrollees are ineligible). You have to adjust for differences in how income & household size are counted.
