How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

“If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.” “Do you think Trump will apologize?” “When pigs fly, maybe.” 🐷 🐖 There were no reflecting pool vandals. Trump’s lies are endless.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

SCOTUS majority gave Trump a free pass to break the law. His sycophants break the law too because they believe Trump will pardon them. Lawlessness

“I fear,” he said, “that reporting itself — the act of going out into the world open-minded, humble and empathetic — is in deep trouble.” We must do that reporting, and do it in that way, Dean said, “because it is the ethical and honorable way to pursue the truth.”

The VCs Who Screamed That Biden Would Kill Powerful AI Models Seem Quite Chill About Trump Actually Doing It
Late Friday, Anthropic shut down access to its just-released Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models after the Trump administration slapped export controls on them — treating cutting-edge AI, in other words, like weapons. The trigger, it turns out, was a jailbreak. And the entity that tipped off the government? Amazon — one of Anthropic's biggest investors. Considering how much Trump-supporting VC bros in Silicon Valley insisted that the Biden admin wanted to shut down powerful AI models during the last administration, it's quite something to see them cheering on the Trump admin actually doing exactly that.
