Matteo Wong: Grokipedia, Elon Musk’s new competitor to Wikipedia, says apartheid wasn’t that bad, cites the Kremlin, and gives legitimacy to “white-genocide theory.” In other words, Grokipedia has opinions, and they're remarkably like Elon Musk's, with an admixture of Vladimir Putin.

AOC and Mamdani should teach a clinic on how to run and win elections for any pro-working-class candidate.

Not just about social media either.
Being everywhere you can be seen.
Listening to the people you want to serve.
Focusing relentlessly & always pivoting back to 3 big things they need/want.

Shaming is common in medical school and unfortunately, sometimes in the doctor's office. Some doctors are trying to teach medical students awareness of the problem so they don't perpetuate the cycle. n.pr/4hDCmpE

The White House pressed Navy officials to launch 2,000-lb live bombs instead of dummy explosives during an elaborate military demonstration for the service’s 250th anniversary celebration that Trump attended, two people familiar with planning for the event told The Associated Press.

Here’s the truly stupid part:

All these MAGA warriors cheering that SNAP is being cut off because they bought the lie that it’s “waste, fraud, and abuse” don’t get it.

They won’t see a dime, a benefit, or a tax break because SNAP is cut—just more hungry families and weaker local economies.

Just a reminder that "en banc" review in the Ninth Circuit is ... unique.

The full court (29 active judges, currently with a 16-13 D-R split) votes on whether or not to rehear a case en banc.

If so, then *10* judges are randomly drawn to sit with Chief Judge Murguia as the "en banc" court.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

(Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call.

Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre.

On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.”

Nick Fuentes’ Plan to Conquer America

For years, influencer Nick Fuentes was too extreme even for MAGA. Now he's working his way into the mainstream—and has a plan for his secret followers to seize the levers of power.
