i tell you what, if Democrats win the elections in 2026 and 2028, one of the biggest mistakes they could make is to talk about uniting the country by not prosecuting all of the lawbreakers and corruption of Trump administration officials. One reason we are here today is Ford's pardon of Nixon.

On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.
He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.
He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.
It’s enraging.

Sometimes we envision that these are just more abstract lies the Trump Admin is putting out.
But these lies are going to destroy families. These lies are going to obliterate the stability and finances of so many gullible people with kids.
They know they’re lying too.
They do not give a shit.

It is insane how irresponsible this is.
Families who believe this piece of human garbage are going to budget for their healthcare costs going up by $13. They aren’t going to plan for the future.
This is going to absolutely devastate gullible families & leave them without coverage.
It’s evil.

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%
DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?
Q: Kaiser Family Foundation
OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

Autism is not a disease, it is a description of a brain that processes information differently to the "average" brain.
Eliminating autism necessitates eliminating autistic people, there cannot be a cure just as you cannot cure a personality.

The media framing around the current government's directive to demonize safe medications and otherize autistic/neurodivergent people sickens me.
Headlines are all most people read, yet "coincidentally" headlines are always more charitable than the article. The media hates the disabled.
