⚠️ Fascinating new research shows LLMs become misaligned when optimized for audience—even when explicitly instructed to remain truthful

Sigh. Once again, the idea that Biden “opened the border” is such nonsense. And the idea that the Trump admin is just focusing on “bad guys” is an even worse fiction.

Here's their brief:

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...
For the past four years, illegal open-border immigration policies flooded the country with illegal aliens, including criminals convicted of crimes in their home country, violent international gang members, and suspected ISIS terrorists. Much of that was done in violation of federal immigration law through the assertion of executive enforcement prerogatives. Now, President Trump is executing Congress’s dictates and enforcing federal immigration law—which includes valiant efforts by federal law enforcement to identify and deport alien criminals. Against that backdrop of law enforcement, activists began to gather in cities across the United States, including Chicago. But rather than protest peacefully, some of those protests became violent, threatening federal officers, harming federal property, and certainly impeding enforcement of federal law. President Trump’s deployment of a small number of National Guard members to defend against this lawlessness is responsible, constitutional, and authorized by statute.

The South Carolina senator behind SB 323 says his bill wouldn't outlaw birth control.

But we found a pamphlet he wrote that says “all forms of the birth control pill” kill a “human being.”

NEW — Rod Johnson will never forget federal agents zip-tying his hands behind his back.

The night of the South Shore raid in Chicago, Johnson said he was detained for two hours.

“I’m an American citizen with no warrants,” Johnson said.

C-SPAN CALLER: We just I guess resolved Israel and Gaza. What about the war that is being caused here in America when our president tells the military to shoot Americans, use the cities as war zones?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have no idea where that's coming from. It's obviously a misleading talking point.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

Dems need to understand this.

Not a single criticism Republicans level at them is ever made in good faith.

Therefore it’s impossible to compromise, placate them, or gain their respect.

They hate you for existing & they’ll call you communist extremists regardless of how hard you reach out to them.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world
NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers. Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites @evanhill · 11m Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.
Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID. In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in. How in the world are you going to check our voters? Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon. But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation. For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections. COMMON SENSE Vascluar Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why? Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five. You talk about trade-off, right? COMMON SENSE Sanctuany
