In today's twin episode of leopards gouging themselves on each other, 1) Steven Friend, whom Kash funded to lie & rehired to FBI, was fired for disinformation about the pipe bomb case. 2) John Sullivan, who took vid of Jan6 while he was criming, is pro se suing Gateway Pundit for stealing that vid.
32.The speech identified in Patel’s dismissal letter concerned an important,
publicly known federal investigation: the FBI’s investigation of two pipe
bombs discovered near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Friend’s
commentary addressed the investigation, the agency’s handling of evidence,
and the accountability of federal law enforcement.Defendants systematically downloaded and extracted video files directly from
Plaintiff's public digital channels, intentionally removed, altered, and excised Plaintiff's
identifying copyright management information, digital watermarks, and authorial
attribution notices, re-encoded the video files into proprietary web formats, and uploaded
the footage onto video hosting servers and embedded video players hosted directly within
commercial articles on TheGatewayPundit.com. Indeed, high-definition broadcast frame
captures establish that Defendants publicly displayed and streamed Plaintiff's copyrighted
footage of the Speaker's Lobby-plainly bearing Plaintiff's transparent "Insurgence USA"
provenance watermark across the lower-right quadrant-while superimposing Defendants'
own prominent "GP" (The Gateway Pundit) corporate broadcast logo in the upper-left
quadrant to falsely brand and commercially exploit Plaintiff's work as their own
proprietary news reporting (Exhibit 69). This intentional removal, alteration, and
unauthorized superimposition of copyright management information was executed without

The Senate recessed on Wednesday. And so Trump waited until today to whine that Tom Cotton held up a bill that would change Daylight Savings, which pisses Trump off bc (Trump says) it hurt the PGA. Tom Cotton is probably the 17th least endangered GOP Senator. But this year? In the south?
A very long Trump post complaining that Tom Cotton held up a bill that would change Daylight Savings. Trump's mad bc that hurts the PGA.

I've marked that logic with blue boxes and numbered labels;

2) during election season
3) because he was mean to PGA

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.

Looks like Eric Schmitt has a new website--I guess to campaign to be JD's VP. senatorericschmitt.com
Schmitt
Schmitt: (verb) \ˈshmit\

1. A sudden and urgent gastrointestinal revolt in which the body issues an unmistakable, nonnegotiable evacuation order that causes a considerable mess and great humiliation.

2. To suffer a sudden, public, and spectacular political collapse, especially after overconfidently attempting a partisan attack.

3. To create such an avoidable mess that one’s credibility, message, and electoral prospects are left in tatters.

Example: “I ended up with that cyclosporiasis invection from tainted lettuce and I schmitted myself in the grocery store trying to buy some Pepto.”

Example: “During the hearing performance, he didn’t land a blow—he completely schmitted himself.”
