This was all initiated by the press utterly failing on reporting the ‘Gaza Peace Plan.’

Israel has killed nearly 300 people including women and children since the ceasefire and it’s been ignored.

No wonder Witkoff and Kushner thought they could meddle here too.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

The only thing that should be mentioned on LLM use in higher education is that it frequently fabricates sources, which is a blatant violation of every university’s academic misconduct policy that—at least prior to ChatGPT’s release—would have resulted in failing students, retractions, or expulsions
About 25 percent of faculty members have used AI to save time in creating more engaging in-class activities or generating quizzes and other assessments. Yet talking about AI use is taboo in some quarters. https://chroni.cl/4rjLxQp

Some believe in the technology’s promises; others are simply desperate for help.

AI is shaking up OnlyFans. Chatbots are replacing the Filipino workers who pretend to be models in DMs with fans, and AI-generated images are so realistic that they cannot be distinguished from real photos

Every time I think this administration has plumbed the depths of incompetence, it goes down another level. Will this make Putin think he should end the war? Or will it make him think that if he keeps pushing, the US will offer him even more?

This is partly true but moreso DOGE teams have become fully part of the departments they were integrated with and are very much alive and a part of normal processes now
The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

This is the same playbook the Trump administration ran in Portland, where DHS officials falsely accused local police of failing to help them (or not arriving quickly enough). Strikes me as a problem that the government lies so freely to the Supreme Court now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Newborns cannot get vaccinated for whooping cough until they are two months old.

So it is up to adults who plan to be around newborns to get those Tdap shots—and new parents need to encourage family members who plan to be around a newborn to get Tdap shots, too.

This is caused by adults not maintaining their pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines.

You should be getting a Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine every 10 years.

We have a baby coming in the family (my first grand nephew!), so my husband and I both got vaccinated this week.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This is similar nonsense to how the Trump admin talks about addressing historic backlogs in the immigration courts.

The solution to backlogs are to hire more judges and staff, not to abolish due process. It’s not that hard!
