A new study found that Elon Musk's "Grokipedia" is regularly citing neo-Nazi and white nationalist websites as legitimate sources for information.

How much more evidence does the Trump admin need to realize that Grok shouldn’t be used by the federal government??

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are culpable for endangering the National Guard by putting them in harm’s way.

Who is this wonderful woman?
The Erica Kirk dig FTW
Good trouble, a young lady starts reading some Charlie Kirk’s quotes to MAGA Congressmen who had his pictures outside of their office.

“I saw you guys had a Charlie Kirk picture outside so I thought I’d read you some of his quotes ….”

Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want..

Trump’s endgame isn’t better trade policy, it’s total dominance for the corporate class.

He’s bullying the world into deals that favor Big Oil, Big Tech, and Big Defense.

Reminder: While Elon Musk is on track to become the world's first trillionaire, working people are on track to lose health coverage and food assistance thanks to Trump's depraved budget.

The Pentagon and the Qatari government have signed an agreement that the luxury plane is an "unconditional" gift.

Right...

B/c foreign governments gifting $400 MILLION to the world’s leading policymaker is clearly a selfless act with 0 ambitions.

This is blatant corruption.
