When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

It's great and I love how it's just a mystery at the end (nobody tell me if there's an explanation in a book, I don't want to know).

How is that probable cause?!

Screenshot of a tweet from Matt Hill (@thematthill) on X. The tweet states that Greg Bovino admitted agents can detain people based on behavior like looking scared or gripping the steering wheel tightly, even if they’re U.S. citizens. Below is a CNN screenshot showing Bovino being interviewed, with the headline: ‘Exclusive: Agent leading Trump’s immigration crackdown speaks to CNN.’

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.
