Cost of gas on Trump’s first day: $3.13 Cost of gas today: $4.40 Trump promised cheaper gas. He lied—but we can hold him accountable at the ballot box in November.

Technologically very impressive but this stuff scares the crap out of me from a societal perspective. Just the sheer amount of fraud alone that these models will enable is chilling, let alone all the other harms.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis privately tore into Trump in texts obtained by Politico:
Graphic featuring Donald Trump on the left and Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on the right, with two large iMessage-style text bubbles attributed to Tillis overlaid across the bottom. In the first message, Tillis tells Trump that Trump “NEVER” threatened him with a primary challenge, says Trump may have him confused with other Republicans he has threatened, and adds that if Trump had threatened him directly, he would have told him to “fck yourself” and immediately announced his retirement. He ends, “Save those threats and head games for cowards and fools.” In the second message, Tillis writes, “I still want to help but I don’t take this bullsht from anyone, including you Mr. President,” adding, “Save that sh*t for the cowards who don’t care if you fail. I care if you fail and right now we are failing.”

Eight years ago, Illinois faced the nation's biggest fiscal challenge — budget turmoil, unpaid debt, and a credit rating downgraded 24 times. Now, we're in the strongest financial position in decades — 8 balanced budgets, 12 credit-rating upgrades, and no overdue bill backlog.

Making something legally not mine in my car
Location: Columbus ohio
Could I put a bin in my car with a label to make sure cops know something in my car isn't mine. I'm 18 but my mom and brother are over the age of 21 and sometimes they will leave liquor or weed in my car. I don't want to get pulled over and get a possession charge for it is there any way I can make it legally not mine while in my car. So they don't have to come to my house to pick it up every time.

Trump claimed to TIME that Secret Service officials have encouraged him to replace the current Oval Office. "'Sir, we think the Oval Office should be taken down, and we'll build a new one, sir,'" said Trump. "I said, 'My ass, you can't build a new one. This is a special place.'"

Similarly, people keep asking me if immigration will get much better if Democrats retake Congress and the answer is "probably not." ICE is largely insulated from Congressional pushback (the 2026 budget reconciliation bill funded them through 2029) and hearings and subpoenas can only do so much.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.
