If you ever find yourself recommending someone "go hunting" based on a list of day care facilities returned by a racist-aligned AI, do the world a favor and step into oncoming traffic.
Trump guys on Twitter are using Grok to “hunt” daycares in their nearest city to see if there are kids in them and, if there are, if they’re Somali.
This is so fucking dangerous.

In one fell swoop, Trump has successfully achieved his goal of fucking up voting by mail.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

you do not and should not hand it to MTG under any circumstances
it is useful for us, politically, that she's broken with Trump - because "Rs in Disarray" is a good narrative
but she herself is still a vicious antisemite and transphobe and nobody progressive should lose sight of that

Should also add that right before she quit, Marjorie Taylor Greene passed a bill through the House to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She is not a moderate. She is still super right wing. She just felt Trump no longer could accomplish her goals.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
