Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

The Trump catastrophe for the US continues. The last credit rating firm has downgraded the US rating. (From a Triple A credit rating.) This is due to large deficits and higher interest rates. There is no reason this will get better soon. Due to Trump's incompetence.

It's like they couldn't decide which dystopian novel they liked best, so they decided to do them all.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

To put more emphasis on this: Hundreds of thousands of Americans in at least 1400 cities and towns across the country, including in heavily Republican areas that never protest, protested Trump and Musk and their 401Ks being wiped out yesterday, and it’s NOT a main front page story in the Times.
And the only mention of it on the actual print front page is just an image with a caption telling people they need to turn to page 18 to read about it. Not worthy of a front page story, apparently.
