the funny part about people that use AI to write all their academic papers for them is the strong overlap you find of “guy that’s too stupid to write his own paper so he uses AI” and also, “guy that’s too stupid to check to see if there aren’t any gigantic glaring errors on the literal cover”
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Looks like Stephen Miller got a hold of the keys to Trump’s truth social account again

Ummm….🤔
A little reminder of how it went down, as he blames Biden. Trump is the one that negated the correct communication channels, negotiated with terrorists, and signed deadline of pullout…forcing Joe into a clusterfuck situation with Afghanistan.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Apart from the outright offensiveness of much of this post, Trump says "hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia" are "taking over" Minnesota. Census statistics show that there are fewer than 100,000 people in the entire United States of Somali ancestry, and Minnesota has 50-70,000.
Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.

This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

A truly Black Friday.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Marge Greene announces she is resigning from Congress, that she doesn’t want to go through a brutal primary against a Trump backed opponent, and says Trump has treated her like a battered wife and has been hateful to her and is trying to destroy her.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Writing an 80 zillion character post about the Epstein files definitely makes you seem extremely innocent and not literally shitting your pants.

Anytime you’re feeling embarrassed, remember that Clay Higgins woke up this morning to the realization he was the only one in the whole ass Congress who voted to defend pedophiles.

He gets to carry that vote with him like a scarlet letter for the rest of his unremarkable existence.
