"Amid minnesota fraud scandal"
There is no "minnesota fraud scandal". You're just publishing nazi propaganda from an actual pedophile who tried to get into a daycare to harass strangers' children.

"The purpose of entitlements is not to spend as much as possible," the Editorial Board writes.
"It is to make sure the truly vulnerable get the help they need without becoming dependent on government handouts. Scrutinizing food stamp rolls is a small step in that direction."

Under international law, since Trump has used Mar-A-Lago as a command post for military operations it is now a valid and priority military target for any country the US commits aggression against.

Something that seems to be missing from mainstream news coverage just lately is the simple truth that attacking people and stealing their shit is wrong.
It's not a feather in your cap, or a jewel in the crown or whatever. It's immoral, and a crime. Say it.

"If you don't call me cool and give me my lil award I'll kill as many people as possible out of spite" really does appear to be the driving animus of everyone in this administration and its adjacent oligarchy.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

That's exactly the playbook they ran with trans people. Getting fans folks fired from jobs, doxing, harassment, death threats etc. There's an entire cottage industry of right wing influencers who do this for clout and money.
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

I went up to the Hill to ask Mike Johnson what he thought of Trump usurping Congress's powers to invade and occupy Venezuela. He said this was the first he was hearing of the invasion and thus he couldn't comment on it.

Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy.
Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Imagine believing, and getting mad about, Somali daycare centers having contributed $35 million to the Democrats - a nonsensical, demonstrable, obvious lie.
And yet some *billionaires* believed it and then spread the lie over on Twitter.
