Trump urges Republicans to 'nationalize' voting President Donald Trump urged the GOP to "nationalize" voting, sparking constitutional controversy as Democrats call the proposal "outlandishly illegal."

"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over,'" Trump told Bongino. "We should take over the voting ... in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they're counting votes."

Meta appoints anti-DEI and anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor Robby Starbuck has been appointed as an AI bias advisor at Meta with the goal of making the company's chat bot less "woke."

This is why I don’t spend much time on Meta’s Threads.

So beyond repulsive.

Never tell a bug reporter that their vulnerability can not be exploited. That only serves to guarantee that there will be an exploit built for your vulnerability.

Try "Thank you, we'll patch that" and see how that works out for you.
