"And guess who was not a threat in Rubio’s speech? Dictatorial Russia and China is the answer... Indeed I think they were ignored entirely. Rubio’s threats were not dictatorial states, but immigration, trade, tolerance and, I suppose people who do not have religious faith."

I think the public sector has to understand that the flood of disinformation will only get worse. That's why your ability to become a relentless, trusted source of information and nuture other sources has to continually be advanced for the sake of democracy and freedom.
The final item of this article feels like another early rumbling of something bigger – public services are getting swamped with AI-generated complaints and appeals, often citing fictitious legal precedents etc.
It’s already a serious headache and it’s only going to get worse.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I see reports that Trump told a Palm Beach police chief about Epstein in 2006.
What I'm *not* seeing reported is this was not to turn in a criminal, but part of Trump's campaign to undermine Epstein's credibility, as he feared Epstein would out him for money laundering.

The concept of “lying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.
In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
