Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Tonight, Redland’s USD’s school board rejected the pleas of dozens of informed, thoughtful, compassionate educators, parents, librarians & other community members who urged them to follow the recs of multiple review panels to keep The Bluest Eye & Push available to high school students.

Allies in Redlands are dealing w/ the wasteful, bigoted impact of a reactionary school board majority- tonight, they’re voting to remove 2 award-winning novels from school libraries (both by acclaimed Black writers) despite the books having already been reviewed and approved by a panel of experts.
An Instagram post from @iecommunity News shows the faces of the 5 Redlands Unified school board members and their superintendent with a headline reading “Redlands Unified to Vote Dec. 9 on Banning Black-Authored 'Push, 5 Redlands Unified trustees will vote Dec. 9 on whether to ban Push by Sapphire and The Bluest Eye by Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison-two acclaimed books by Black authors. Both titles were selected by credentialed district librarians and later challenged under a revised Board Policy 1312.2, adopted after a conservative shift on the school board. Review committees-assembled at district expense-thoroughly evaluated the titles and recommended keeping them in circulation, prompting community advocates to urge the board to honor the process.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

It was also no coincidence that it was a Black woman reporter he railed against.
A tweet stating Trump denied saying something he said on camera five days earlier, then attacked the reporter who repeated his own words. The image is Trump at a meeting table, looking annoyed and turning his head to the side.

In what the Union of Concerned Scientists called "an attack on independent science," the Trump administration has purged all information about human causes of climate change from EPA websites.
'Attack on Independent Science': Trump EPA Removes All Mention of Human-Caused Climate Crisis From Public Web Pages
"This isn’t just about data on a website; it’s an attack on independent science and scientific integrity," said Dr. Rachel Cleetus at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Donald Trump has ordered the DOJ to prosecute political enemies.

My question to the OCC:
If the President ordered you to weaponize finance against his political enemies, would you tell him ‘no’?

OpenAI’s new guidelines ask its chatbot to celebrate ‘innovation,’ contradicting its stated goal of objectivity—and raising questions about what objectivity even means.
