Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.

Donald Trump is back on the golf course.

House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week.

And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.
Not good.🧵
New: We jailbroke four versions of ChatGPT to get instructions on how to create viruses and chemical weapons.

The instructions were all flawed, and the it didn't work on GPT-5. But 4 of the 5 big AI companies have internally found their top models are close to being able to tutor bioterrorists.
ChatGPT safety systems can be bypassed to get weapons instructions
NBC News found that OpenAI’s models repeatedly provided answers on making chemical and biological weapons.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Makes one so very proud to be an American, right?
ICE rappel from Black Hawk helicopters—detain U.S. citizens.

Grab everyone at apartment complex—even zip tie the children together.

"They had the Black people in one van, and immigrants in another van," said witness.

"One agent literally laughed... He said, 'F them kids.'"

Chicago, Illinois
Why aren't they arresting these terrorists??? No warrants, no identifications, no attempt to avoid violence. Instead, terrorism by unidentified thugs.
ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

Alamosa, Colorado
Yes, because the two words "Donald Trump" have always meant a deep devotion to highest quality. Wine, university degrees, beef, airlines, casinos, sun tans, integrity.

I just spent a week in Portland. The city was busy with tourists and locals enjoying late summer. A prosperous downtown. Factually, there is no observable evidence of a city needing military intervention. A reminder that this is not normal. Please pay attention.

President Trump said Saturday he will send troops to Portland, "authorizing Full Force, if necessary" to handle "domestic terrorists" as he expands his controversial deployments to more U.S. cities.
Great, now release the files on your former best friend Epstein.
Writing on Truth Social, the president reflected on the number of times he has apparently been asked about Amelia Earhart.

Once again: why are we paying to subsidize these redundants on the Supreme Court when they are simply an echo chamber for whatever the Golfer King demands when he wakes up for his morning makeup session?
#BREAKING: Over the dissents of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, #SCOTUS grants (yet another) stay to President Trump—this one allowing him to cease obligating $4 billion in foreign aid funding appropriated by Congress.

I’ll post the link when it’s up.

Charlie Kirk could be placed on US currency under new House GOP proposal

The Trump "truth" that the "left" is responsible for violent terrorism in America is b.s. The CATO Institute, a long-established right-wing think tank, looked at this. RW violence & killing dwarfs that emanating from the left. Do facts still matter to Republicans? www.cato.org/blog/politic...

The level of corruption, rewarding the Trumps with billions, is unprecedented in our history. Per the NYT:
Word is, Friday. The storm troopers are coming. Time to watch your taxes burn up as the National Guard cleans up debris for 29 days. 30 means health care requirements & this is just fascist performance art.
RFK Jr is crazy (14 years of heroin addiction may do that), but the people who put him where he is are crazier. Trump voters, take a bow.
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“

This man is an existential threat.

Donald Trump has invented a new kind of fascism, all the nasty, authoritarianism of the old fascism, but this time the trains *don't* run on time.
The Justices should be on the spot. They created this monster and then invited him into the hearth.
May they all enjoy it in their own hometown

Whoa. Either someone else took his LSATs or he’s the most sniveling asskisser we’ve ever had the misfortune to waste neurons on. Asking for a friend: does he eat cats & dogs?
Of course he’s frightened, poor snowflake. At home he can carry his hidden sixshooter when he barhops. Just in case.
