The role of ChatGPT went far beyond providing tactical tips in the final hours before the mass shooting. The shooter messaged with ChatGPT more than 6,600 times over 12 months—including dozens of conversations revealing he was desperate, focused on extremist violence, and suicidal.

☀️💙 As you protect your family from sunburn, dehydration, and water hazards, don't forget one more important safety step: secure firearm storage. ✅ Store firearms locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition. ✅ Ask: "Is there an unlocked gun in the home?"

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says: “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

The DOJ’s new rule could let people prohibited from owning guns under federal law to regain access to firearms. DOJ’s proposal of allowing applicants to pay $20 and then providing a 6-minute review of each case is not “due diligence.” There must be a responsible relief process. Read more:
