Not that long ago, I used to distrust information coming from Wikipedia. After all, ANYONE could edit the entry.
Now, with the proliferation of AI bullshit, I often add Wikipedia to search terms so that I read their article first. At least there, you get citations to where the info came from.

The Trump/Mamdani meeting turning all political heads at warp speed won't matter in the long run. Tomorrow is another day.
What's funny is how Mamdani showed other politicos, CEOs, and all knee benders, most of whom feared his election, how to play the game without changing who he is. #politics

The Democratic members didn't come up with the idea that troops should refuse illegal orders. That's the law and the constitutional framework that separates a military from a Praetorian guard. If they go along with illegal orders, they open themselves up to criminal penalties.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Smart move to alert the police and smart politics to publicize it. This is serious.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"
