So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

Rep. Ted Lieu publicly stated that the “Epstein files” contain “highly disturbing allegations” including allegations of Donald Trump “raping children” and “threatening to kill children.” He said this at a Capitol Hill press briefing on Feb. 3, 2026, urging the press to “go look” at the allegations.

This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

Trump created something they call:

"BABY JAIL"

There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"
HUNDREDS!

And it's all being paid for on your dime, with your taxpayer dollars & being done in your name!

Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!

BABY JAIL!

Forest Service officials were alerted in 2021 to the presence of “forever chemicals,” also known as PFAS, in gear worn by wildland firefighters.

The agency has yet to publicly acknowledge the issue.

Don Huffines is a real estate mogul.

He is running for Texas Comptroller.

Seems like it's not really the job for him, after buying the Zorro Ranch with an LLC called San Raphael Ranch to throw off his scent and make it difficult to find the owner.

The FBI did not investigate Zorro Ranch.

One thing I think abt a lot: Just imagine how well the economy would be doing if Trump hadn’t spent all of last year trashing the great economy he inherited? Tariffs, huge govt layoffs, slashing research/medical/science spending, torturing US cities with immigration raids. Economy would be humming!
