Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Medicaid/CHIP ensures 37 million children have access to lifesaving care.

That’s roughly 50% of U.S. kids.

Half of the 14 million kids with special health care needs are covered by Medicaid and/or CHIP

>3 million children in military families

41% of births

40% of kids in rural areas

I'm here today as a private citizen and mother of two kids with critical and chronic illnesses who use Medicaid.

I need representatives like Mariannette Miller-Meeks to stop stealing the money that helps my kids have a good life. - Jonna Higgins-Freese

The professor should be forced to pay back the money she forced her students to spend buying her AI-generated textbook--this is such a scam. And she should never teach again.
And this is exactly why universities should have calmed their jets before heralding gAI as the next coming of Christ.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

They auto rejected the first version thinking it was the Gadsen flag. They don't sell that stuff.

Medicaid is for the elderly and disabled under the poverty line. Medicare we all paid into and seniors can tap into in retirement.
