Trump's new jobs programs - have all the tariff bankrupt soybean farmers move to Arizona to work in a chip factory. They're used to working 14 hour days and their tractors all have GPS so they must have the technical know-how.
...if I put quotes around this we'd all believe Trump really said it

Trump: "You can't come in, open a massive computer chip factory for billions of dollars like is being done in Arizona, and think you're gonna hire people off an unemployment line to run it. They're gonna have to bring thousands of people with them and I'm gonna welcome those people. This is MAGA."

They are really treading on thin ice here. Even if a document is privileged, the fact of its existence is not.
BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Wonderful read on how AI scamming is reducing the quality of journalism and even large publications are being (willingly?) scammed with "catchy" articles meant to appeal and attract readers / shares.
A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...
Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

Clearly the ramblings of a confused grandpa who in 79 years, never had to buy their own health insurance, navigate a drug formulary, decode an EOB, argue with customer service over a suddenly denied procedure that was approved 2 days earlier, or decide whether to pay for groceries or insurance.

Personally, I think it's terrific that no one around the president is willing to tell him he sounds completely delusional and out of touch here. Just let him keep telling voters they're not paying what they're paying.

We’ve seen this before as companies unrelated to tech try to juice their stock price. In 2000 it was “add .com to our name”. In 2012 it was “internet of things” and “the cloud”. Today it is artificial intelligence and large language models. Companies trying to put lipstick on a pig. 🐷

Lindsey Halligan made 3 fuck-ups in the grand jury:
1) She implied to GJ Comey would HAVE to testify
2) There was more evidence they weren't sharing
3) She does not appear to have re-presented the 2 charges GJ approved
Here's the third (which I predicted Friday).
There's no indictment.

Duncan is such an inspiration. And a badass.
a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Trump now says Republicans can vote to release the Epstein files.
He never urged Republicans to support the discharge petition. He never demanded Mike Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva. But now, after reports indicate 100+ GOPers are planning to support their release, he caves.
