I can confidently tell you that the phrase "I googled it" is now meaningless. We're no longer informed humans. The AI summaries on our searches is constantly misinforming us. I know this because I've used that info and been corrected by real humans so many times.

Why does prayer require proximity to an abortion clinic? If prayer actually works, shouldn’t it be just as effective from your home? Surely an omnipresent God doesn’t need you standing outside a clinic to hear you.

The DOGE official who allegedly wanted to falsify SSA data is Jon Koval, a VP at Valor Equity, which was founded by Antonio Gracias, one of Musk’s oldest friends... 1/

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 5, 2026 - The Trump administration sought to assign bogus death dates to 2.7 million people living in the United States, a flagrantly illegal misuse of Social Security Administration (SSA) data intended to pressure immigrants into leaving the country, a new government insider account reveals.
That shockingly high number far exceeds the 6,000 administrative "killings" previously reported last year in The Washington Post. It comes in a legal disclosure by Jeremiah Schofield, a former SSA senior executive, who was in the room when a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official laid out a plan to "kill off" millions of people in SSA's master database.katzbanks.com
KATZ BANKS KUMIN
The DOGE official, private equity investor Jon Koval, said in Schofield's presence that the purpose of "killing off" the 2.7 million living people was to ruin their lives and push them out of the country. Explaining the scheme, Koval said that either the 2.7 million people would selt-deport or they would go to their local Social Security office to prove they are alive where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could detain and forcibly deport them.
Schofield's explosive revelations are being made public today by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren. The senators are seeking answers from SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano and three individuals who worked with DOGE at SSA, including Koval, and demanding the officials preserve all records related to the events detailed in Schofield's account.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."
It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to
plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests — with minimal explanation and even less evidence — that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14
At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of
success on their Fifth Amendment claim.
