A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

FB post from Variety on Bill Burr:

ill Burr slams Riyadh Comedy Festival backlash: "I don’t give a f*ck what all these phony f*cking people are saying."
“The general consensus is, ‘How dare you go to that place and make those oppressed people laugh, you f*cking piece of sh*t. I can’t believe you went to that place. I can’t find it on a map, and this bot said I was upset about it so now I am.' It’s one thing to wear clothes made by sweatshop labor. It’s quite another to go to the factory and make ’em laugh. I can’t believe how much anger I had about this issue after it went viral... [Performing at the festival] was necessary. It felt right afterward. I vibed with them and they were funny. F*ck, they were funny f*cking people. I don’t know what to tell you. I had a good time…

Columbus City Schools may have to stop bussing high school students entirely because Ohio law requires public school districts to prioritize bussing for charter and private school students - and the state is already fining Columbus more than $10 million/year for not complying enough

Honesty for Ohio Education @honesty4ohioed.bsky.social · 1d

Columbus City Schools Board of Education has voted to remove a requirement that the district provide busing for high schoolers as a potential cost-saving move amid district financial challenges.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Two things to keep in mind as you watch clips of Pam Bondi today in the Senate:

1. As Florida AG, she dropped her investigation of fraud at Trump University after Trump gave $25K to her election campaign.

2. She was Trump's second choice for federal AG after Matt Gaetz.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

I remember seeing people say that Trump not deploying the National Guard to Chicago because @jbpritzker.bsky.social said no a few weeks ago was a sign that if you fight them, they’ll back down. That seems like an incorrect read on the situation now.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.

Community pooled their money to pay for her green card—then ICE locked her up in a private prison instead.

Agents detained her when she showed up for final green card appointment—a process that lasted years & cost $16,009.

Family was waiting at her house planning to celebrate over bowls of Pozole.
