Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.”

Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion.

In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.

Donald Trump Just Proved He’s an Economic Idiot. Again.

His MAGA sycophants knew all along that his central economic proposal was a sham, but they repeated his lies. And now the economy is cracking.

“AI grooming,” as models increasingly rely on RAG, or retrieval augmented generation, to produce articles using real-time information from around the web. .. the models are ingesting and regurgitating information they do not understand is propaganda.

[as I predicted]

Russia Is 'Grooming' Global AI Models to Cite Propaganda Sources

Instead of targeting human readers, Russian propaganda mills have pivoted to manipulating AI models instead.

You cannot do both.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management.

A legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee devolved into chaos Saturday when unidentified, plainclothes security personnel dragged a Post Falls woman from th...

I feel like John Cusack imagined having Nic Cage’s career but he didn’t wanna get his hands dirty.

“If he really said it…” They always leave themselves an out; just cant bring themselves to admit what they know to be true. These folks need to be deprogrammed.

It is sickening and dangerous that none of my GOP colleagues sporting "I stand with Israel" signs outside their office has said a word to condemn members of their own party giving Nazi salutes. Fascism depends on evil and cowardice; the GOP is rich with both.

It looks like Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.
